    It looks quite workmanlike.

    I 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.

    Ferries are really fascinating to me, especially those where the cars, buses, trucks and people all get on to the same ferry!

      Linda, 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

    How cool - I bet it's a fun journey. There are some very small ferries a few hours from here, but this looks huge!

    Only 2 Lady class left, Lady Northcott is still running around. A minor correction Jim ... Sydney Ferries has been privatized, now Harbour City Ferries.

      Thanks, Peter. I noticed the new name on the website but didn't realise they had been privatised. I'll fix it up.

      I'm not sure Ann, but I think they're some sort of life preserver.
