1 October 2020 Sue arranged that all met at the Old Manly Hospital site just outside St Paul's school A group of 7 and set off up Bluefish Drive then walked east along a mostly well-formed track in North Head Sanctuary. Very soon we saw wildflowers of various colours and species We then saw the 9.2 inch gun emplacements and the tunnels that support them. The area was completed in 1938 and in 2017 the guns were moved to be housed in Puckpunyal in Victoria at yet to be built artillery museum.
