Day 6
A quiet day today around French's Forest, the area of Northern Beaches where Amy & Justin live. At present it is a quiet suburb which is about to grow into another Chatswood with the building of the new Northern Beaches Hospital about a mile away from the house.

Their house is just on the Adams Street entry into the reserve. It is a narrow entry into a reserve covering a vast area.

The Northern Beaches Hospital is the first major investment in public health infrastructure on the Northern Beaches for decades, and a long-held ambition for the local community.
The Hospital in Frenchs Forest is coming out of the ground fast. Just 14 months on from the start of construction and the builders have already started pouring level 8 of the nine-storey hospital.
Waterproofing is underway and services and internal walls have begun to go into the 488-bed hospital, which will provide services to public and private patients.

During the day I had reason to go to the French's Forest Public School; the primary school that Cerys attends. Amy had asked me to deliver an envelope to the school office and I enjoyed my walk around the school and spoke to Mrs Larson, one of the teachers. I also bumped into Cerys while I was there
Later on I was intrigued to see a wild turkey cross the road in front of our hoise while the cockatoos in the tree alongside made a tremendous racket.
