Arguably the largest Queen visiting for the Mardi Gras arrived in Sydney this morning; fashionably late. By my assessment, Queen Elizabeth entered Sydney Harbour two hours behind schedule according to the Sydney Ports site cruise schedule.

Moments after the above photo was taken, Her Majesty paused just off Bradleys Head for about fifteen minutes. The reason for the pause was not evident to me until she recommenced her journey up harbour to her berth at Circular Quay. It appears Her Majesty paused to don her Mardi Gras outfit.

I will be at Circular Quay this afternoon to attend the matinee performance of 'Carmen' at the Opera House and will try to remember to take a close up photo of Her Majesty at her berth for posting later tonight. Maybe Her Majesty will have donned yet another colourful outfit?
Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
The ship is great what a shame it can't visit Poland.
ReplyDeleteGosia, do you get cruise ships visiting Poland from the Baltic Sea?
DeleteOf course mainly from Scandinavia and Germany maybe from other countries but I have to check it and I will write you, Victor.
DeleteThank you for this - what a hoot. And Happy Mardi Gras to all.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteOn the bow of the ship was Vanity Faire the Sydney Drag Queen sitting atop a giant glitter stiletto.
ReplyDeleteThey got right into the spirit of Mardi Gras, disco.
