How cool - I bet it's a fun journey. There are some very small ferries a few hours from here, but this looks huge! Thank you for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-walk-on-beach.html
Only 2 Lady class left, Lady Northcott is still running around. A minor correction Jim ... Sydney Ferries has been privatized, now Harbour City Ferries.
It looks quite workmanlike.
ReplyDeleteI realise some people suffer from seasickness, but I always thought that going to work by ferry would be such a refreshing and sunny way to travel.
ReplyDeleteI always loved riding the ferries. Thanks Jim.
ReplyDeleteFerries are really fascinating to me, especially those where the cars, buses, trucks and people all get on to the same ferry!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I think we only one small one like that in Sydney but I do know there is a large one that operates to Tasmania from the mainland

ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter. I noticed the new name on the website but didn't realise they had been privatised. I'll fix it up.
DeleteI often go by ferry where I live, it's a nice quiet ride.
ReplyDeletewhat are those red "rings: on the top?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Ann, but I think they're some sort of life preserver.
