Two Queens in Sydney

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.

  1. 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.

  6. Great 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.

  8. SUPERB SALLY!
    My 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!
