Swimmers at Andrew Boy Charlton pool with the Queen Mary 2 in Woolloomooloo Bay (Garden Island) in the background. The Queen Elizabeth 2 arrives in Sydney Harbour. The flotilla includes the replica of sailing ship The Bounty.
Two Queens in Sydney. . .not all that unusual during Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras season. But these two were queens of a different kind. The Queen Mary 2 docked this morning, and her sister ship, the Queen Elizabeth 2 arrived this evening. We went down to have a look...and there's heaps more photos here.
Gosh. That ship is monumental. I didn't know there were enough people with that much money to take a trip on such a ship. I am impressed.

ReplyDeleteGreat to see all your shots from the evening as I was unable to make it there and had to settle for a quick look at lunchtime. Good panorama by the way.

ReplyDeleteSUPERB SALLY!
ReplyDeleteMy husband was there too, without a camera, and he said the atmosphere and the crowds were incredible.
Went back this afternoon to view the QE2, she looks tiny by comparison!
this queen wished he was there to greet these 2 majesties. I'm sure there were a number of queens present :0
