The ballet: You know me too well! Yes, I got a bit bored/sleepy towards the end when the pace slowed. But it was way, way better than I expected. Aileen, of course, loved it!

Neighborhood: No way I could answer that; three days isn’t enough time.

Oh, very cool that they still have a ghost tour. Always meant to do it, but haven’t yet.

We took a school excursion to the station during the daytime and the old mass-shower building and the dilapidated surgery rooms were freaky enough.

Definition seems to vary a bit. At any rate, they were front row of the circle (the second level, i.e. balcony), slowly moving towards the center as the years went on.

Brendan, what are dress circle seats?

Grayleen, admit: how did you find the ballet? I imagine Gray getting a wee bit bored.

Do you think if you lived in Sydney, which neighborhood do you think you’d live in and why? (Bet you didn’t think you had an essay question coming!)

We didn’t find it scary, though admittedly we didn’t take the ghost tour!

So glad Sydney treated you guys well.

Was the Quarantine Station creepy?

My grandparents subscribed to the ballet at the Opera House for decades and finally had dress circle seats.. it always made for a fancy night out, even if us kids didn’t like ballet.
