May

Our May outing on Monday 16^th will be a visit to the Museum of Sydney, a guided tour of the Justice and Police Museum, and lunch at The Rugby Club. Meet at Epping Station to catch the 8:56am train to the city.

The Museum of Sydney is a modern museum built on the site of the colony’s first Government House. It displays stories of Sydney past and present – from the first contact with the aborigines and the archaeological remains of the first Government House, through our colonial development and from more modern times.

The Justice & Police Museum was built in 1856 as the Water Police Court, and has had a number of uses over the years. The museum features a Magistrates’ Court, a police charge room, a remand cell, a gallery of mugshots of Sydney’s early criminals, an array of weapons, forensic evidence from notorious crimes, and a display demonstrating police history, bushranging and punishment in society.

The Rugby Club is a small club tucked away off Pitt Street near Circular Quay. The dining room has a wonderful display of Rugby memorabilia from around the world and presents a very pleasant dining atmosphere.

Cost for the outing is $25.00 per person, for entries and lunch, plus fare to the city.
