Wednesday 11th Dec.'24, and a number of members took a train and ferry trip to Neutral Bay,  then a short walk to the May Gibbs 'Nutcote'. This was the home of the famous writer and illustrator of the 'Nutcote Babes'. 

The narrator of the tour, Chie, is a young Japanese woman, who in her 3 years since moving to Australia,  has fallen in love with the life of 'May'.  She now devotes a lot of her time in a voluntary role, telling visitors the history of Nutcote.  

The tea/coffee and home made scones was a treat we all enjoyed before making souvenir purchases prior to the return trip home. A wonderful day.
