Here I am at Fort Denison, right in the middle of Sydney Harbour. It was built way back in 1857 when everybody was scared that the Russians would invade Sydney. It is an interesting place to visit and there are still cannons in the gunroom. The builders put the cannons in first, then built the walls around them. The cannons are too big to get the out again. That's the sort of job that Dad would do. The convicts that built the fort called it "pinchgut" because they weren't fed very much. Don't try to pinch my gut.
