Some scenes - Oz Day 2014

On Sydney Harbour, Australia Day 2014.

The annual ferry boat race makes its way down harbour.


Meanwhile a little further down harbour a sail boat race is a far more serene sight.


Minutes later the ferry boat race is headed back up the harbour and passing the Pacific Pearl, one of two cruise ships anchored mid harbour for the day.


Australia Day inevitably throws up 'then and now' photo opportunities.

  1. Is that a barque in the last photo? I do like a nice barque.

    1. Andrew, it looks like it meets the definition of a Barque. Three masts with the first two masts appearing to be square and the after mast appearing to be rigged fore and aft.

      Aye me hearties!
