You may remember me writing about Foundation Day last year. I think my 2013 photos were somewhat better, which is surprising to me as they were captured with my old camera. I haven't really mastered bright-sunny-day photography. Oh well, it's all part of the learning process I guess.
Just to refresh your memory, Foundation Day entails a re-enactment of the first Europeans landing on Norfolk Island on March 6 1788. Harry had a part to play again this year but this time he didn't get to ride in the boat (imagine his disappointment). He was one of six children who spoke "in character" describing the experiences they endured whilst living on Norfolk Island. There was a good sized crowd present, a mix of locals and tourists, some of whom were decedents of those who landed at Emily Bay all those years ago.
Foundation Day celebrations continued throughout the day, culminating with a kite flying competition on the Kingston Oval. Watching the children running about with their hand-decorated kites was a sight to behold. I will share more photos soon.
