Sydney Harbour, cruise ship

This cruise ship on Sydney Harbour, accompanied by a tug boat, is heading towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge at sunset. It had been moored nearby at Barangaroo and was making its way past the wharves on the Walsh Bay at Dawes Point.

  4. Interesting to compare yours with mine. My very first shot just has the very tip of the liner coming into view, well before it went under the bridge. Like you handed over a ribbon for me to continue the magic.

    I will show you the images from the pylon of Millers Point and Barrangarroo (not sure which letters are doubled so just double 'em all later this week.

  6. Rosadimaggio63, it certainly does look majestic. This was one shot where I was in the right place, at the right time.

  7. That's a hell lot of ship. I'm not familiar with the locations you're mentioning but it seems to me it could go to New Zealand.

  9. Nothing wrong with being pedantic if we get things right. I did not realise that Dawes Point was a suburb, I thought it was just a geographical feature. Is there such a 'suburb' as Walsh Bay? I tend to think that Dawes Point, Walsh Bay, Millers Point and Barangaroo are all included in 'Millers Point". What have you discovered?

  10. In response to one of your commenters, Jim. If you look at your image carefully (and at the one that I posted after the boat went under the bridge) you can see all the passengers lined up along the top deck. It is fascinating to see them like that.

  11. Julie, there's no suburb called Walsh Bay but there is definitely a suburb called Dawes Point. The wharves at Walsh Bay are mostly in Dawes Point and partly in Millers Point. Barangaroo was part of Millers Point but it was officially declared a separate suburb a couple of years ago, in preparation for the redevelopment. There's nothing really in the new suburb yet apart from the old Harbour Control Tower and the dock for the cruise ships.

  16. It's a neat sight when a cruise ship is in town. The cruise ship's large size dwarfs the town.

  21. It almost looks like it won't make it under that bridge.

  22. I would be in that cruise liner someday!

  23. Cruise ships are huge nowadays. Wouldn't it be great to live in one of those apartments on the wharf?

  24. Kass, I had the same thought as I saw the ship approaching the bridge. It looked too big to fit underneath.

    Jossie, yes those apartments would be an amazing place to live.

  25. We used to go watch the cruise ships in Fort Lauderdale...some of them are soooo big. This is a nice shot across the water.

    Do you "cruise"? We've been on small cruise ships -- basically gambling casinos but not the big ones.

  26. Super shot, J. But those monster cruise ships just don't do it for me as a vacation idea... like living in one of those mega-apartment blocks you find on Costa del Sol (Spain) or Hong Kong. But you never know, I may have to eat these words one day.

  28. Jacob, I haven't been on a cruise ship. About the only crusing I've done is on smaller boats in Sydney Harbour and on holidays off the Queensland coast or around the Greek Islands.
