Darling Harbour, tall ship, Picton Castle

The Picton Castle is a Tall Ship from Canada that was recently moored at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour. An International Fleet Review was held in Sydney to commemorate the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet into Sydney. A number of Tall Ships from around the world made up a fleet which sailed into Sydney Harbour last week and departed on Thursday, in a race to New Zealand. The giant Australian flag in Darling Harbour was this week replaced by the Australian White Ensign, which is the navy flag.
