The Deerubbun is seen here departing on a tour from Circular Quay, with the Sydney Opera House in the background. This former torpedo recovery vessel is owned by the Tribal Warrior Association, a charity that trains young people for careers in the maritime industry. The tours by Tribal Warrior Harbour Cruises teach tourists the Aboriginal names and meanings of significant Sydney landmarks. The stories of the Eora, Cadigal, Guringai, Wangal, Gammeraigal and Wallumedegal people are told and an Aboriginal cultural performance takes place on an island in Sydney Harbour.
Great photo and interesting information.
ReplyDeleteWonderful historical post and great photo. I love looking at the Opera House, a magnificent structure!
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more impressive than the Sydney Opera House. Nice shot. Have a great weekend. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteI had not realized that Australia has multiple aboriginal tribes, same as North America. It is so encouraging to see them working together to educate tourists, and prepare youth for the work world!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd great scenery, too!! Do you ever get tired of looking at such a famous landmark?
that is truly an interesting vessel, but my eye is drawn to the Opera House. I love that building. great shot. and happy weekend to you.
