I'm not 100% sure but I suspect Martin Place station is actually on the Eastern Suburbs line and not on the City Circle - so you probably have to change trains to get there

I usually get off at St James, and take the pleasant walk along Macquarie Street.  Along the way I get to look in at St Stephen's Uniting Church, which was the parish church for sailors and trainees on the Sobraon (aka HMAS Tingira), and carries a large marble honour roll in the foyer, detailing those parish members who died in WW1.

Fascinating; - I discovered the Church on my way to my first visit to the Library, and half an hour later discovered that one of my relatives had been Captain of the same vessel!

Now, err, afterwards, I want to hear chapter and verse from you all, and I hope you all have an absolutely fantastic time together, getting to know each other face to face and of course spoiling Mr Odd.   

Alas, I can't make it on that day, but I will be thinking of you all.   My fingers will be crossed that it will be a fine autumn day, not a cloud in the sky, not too much traffic on the F3 or other roads, or not too many passengers on the trains, buses, ferries etc. 

And that you don't get sidetracked and end up actually looking up records at the State Library, cause you definitely need far more than just one day there ! 

Bestest wishes from me to you all, and don't be afraid to walk up to total strangers and perhaps say these magic words:
 
"I am here to meet Dee and Judith"

and then listen for the reply
 
"That's Odd, so am I"

 ::)  ::)  ::)  ;D  ;D  ;D 

Cheers,  JM

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

I will be glad to have a sleep-in that morning after seeing Josh Groban at the Opera House the night before, so the date works well for me!

I have put the date in our company leave calendar so I'm right to go.
