Work out how you can spend the time in Hornsby. You must visit Hornsby Hospital but then you can choose to visit three other places e.g. The Aquatic Centre, the Water Clock, McDonalds, the library or do some shopping.You are to travel by public transport. You need to work out what time to leave home, how long it will take you to walk from one place to another and how much time to spend at each place.
