Report from: Bare Island
Story filed: Memories
Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about my trip to Bare Island in Sydney. I didn’t know much about Bare Island but with some research for this column, I found out that it was the location for some thrilling action sequences in the Hollywood film, Mission: Impossible 2. And it is also one of the most popular scuba diving sites in NSW, as well as a very popular location for snorkeling in Kamay Botany Bay National Park. It is also a place of sorrow for my mother for this is the spot where, when she was a little girl and her school went on a field trip to Bare Island she sadly broke her beloved tartan covered, glass thermos her mummy had given to her as a special present. She only realised this tragic accident had happened when she was going to take a sip of her hot chocolate and she found bits of glass in it from the glass holder that keeps the contents warm. She was very upset. Now, she has a new one but whenever she goes there she thinks about it. We also went down to the rocks and got some really good photos and wet shoes. I kept stepping in water but we had a good time until we had to go. I hope that the next time we go to Sydney we can go on the tour of the fortress as well.
Until next time
