And from memory, impressive but very expensive!

Nice shots Andy!

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

Yep expensive alright. Not as bad as movie world though, seeing the ticket prices was what gave me the biggest fright for the day! As for the photo's we gave it a miss, our son wasn't too interested.

Question tho... With all the spots u went to, Im kinda surprised u werent able to hook up with any of our members here who bounce around down there as well.... Have a beer or whatnot and punch each other in the arm..

Dan one of these days I'll get my arse organised a bit better and maybe plan something like that! Until then any of you bloke are welcome around my place!

Next set of shots are taken from one of the ferries we caught to Circuler Quay. The only reason we went on it was for the great views of the city and its famous landmarks. Besides it was a great day for a boat ride!

Round the bend comes the impressive site of one of the Worlds most famous bridges.

And for a different view, some shots from underneath.

Once past the bridge you are treated to a nice view of the Opera house before arriving at Circular Quay.

Hi Andy.

Backtracking slightly, just wanted to say thanks for the "Spirit of Australia" images you posted earlier. I didn't know that it ended up in the Maritime Museum...

I remember seeing Warby's Jet-Boat soon after the world record run. It was a big event and put Tumut/Blowering Dam in the world spotlight. From memory the jet engine was supplied from a RAAF Neptune. There was also a story afterwards that his return run "could" have been even faster if some "hooligans" hadn't upset the dam swell with their outboard motorboats.
Due to the drought, Blowering dam is now only at 30% capacity.

Well that explains why there is a RAAF squadron badge painted on the boat, I was wondering why that was there.

Cheers Andy, it's one cool looking building! I used to work with an bloke from Sydney, he told me the local nickname for it is 'Nuns in a Scrum'
