QUEEN MARY 2 in Sydney (22 February 2011)
Posted: 24 Feb 2011 08:20
Cunard's magnificent flagship QUEEN MARY 2 visited Sydney on her annual World Cruise and berthed at Fleet Base East....the only suitable berth in the harbour able to accomodate her.
Here are some photos I took of the ship in the area surrounding Garden Island. The ship is so enormous that she is quite dificult to photograph but it was a nice way to spend an afternoon.
It was nice to have the opporunity to photograph the QM2 and HMAS BALLARAT together. I have crossed the North Atlantic Ocean from Europe to North America on both these ships.....on the QM2 in 2004 (Southampton-New York), and BALLARAT (Portsmouth-St. Johns) in 2009. The QM2 was an infinatley more comfortable and enjoyable way to do it.
