Nice Wildcat, did you also see the memorial to HMAS Sydney located on the other side of the harbour from Circular Quay?

Bugger I missed that. Cheers for the pic mate. After we had a look around the Vampire we went onboard HMAS Onslow which is a decommissioned Oberon class submarine.

Also at the museum is the attack class patrol boat HMAS Advance, though you weren't allowed on it.

Good stuff Wildcat - you also get a look around the replica HMS Endeavour?

Certainly I enjoyed going around the Museum - Vampire and Onslow where good - but both very cramped and not somewhere I would want to of served. Certainly if you visit Sydney I would recommend a visit to it. Was the Toy Boat exhibition still going on inside - mainly French toy boats from the last 125 years or so - Joyeux Bateau or something like that I think it was entitled.

Here are my Sydney photos :arrow: Sydney, NSW - a set on Flickr

Nah we didn't do the Endeavor as we were a bit pressed for time and I was being a tight wad that day! :D
BTW you took some great pics mate :cool:

Here are some more pics of some iteams inside the museum. Note the beer can boat!

Once we had had a good look around the Maritime museum we headed next door to the Sydney Aqaurium, which I must say was most impressive.
Apologies for the pics, but it was very hard to take decent shots inside this place.

And from memory, impressive but very expensive!

Nice shots Andy!

Did your kids sucker you into the digital photo booth?...
