Yesterday, on 31/03, our class AMEP-B, went with Gordana to see The Rocks. We met at the train station at Kogarah, bought tickets and caught a train to the city. First we saw Cadman's Cottage, the oldest house in Sydney. The couple who lived there were convicts for little crimes: man stole a horse and the woman stole some knives.After that we stopped in front of the Campbell's Stores. They used to be warehouses and now they are very expensive restaurants.
Next, we crossed the Harbour Bridge to see the first church called Garrison Church. It was Built in 1875 and it was soldiers' church. Near the church are old terrace houses.
Later we walked down Argyle Street and through the tunnel. We also saw Foundation Park and we could imagine how people lived.
In The Rocks you can see where the first bakery, first hospital, Police Station and the Bank were.
The Rocks is part of history.
People came here and worked very hard to make this country more comfortable for me and you and our children. We should remember that.
