Anzac Bridge from Rozelle Bay

I love the Anzac Bridge - think it is really elegant. This view from the marina at Rozelle Bay is possibly one of the best there is.  See here for previous posts of the bridge.

Crew

Mega yachts belonging to the mega wealthy require lots of crew to keep going. There wasn't a lot of activity as we wandered around the marina at Rozelle Bay.

The young man above was working on the Xanadu, belonging to John Symond of Aussie Home Loans fame (I found that out later through the power of Google - we didn't ask him who the owner is).

There was a bit of activity around the Flying Fish, which unlike the Xanadu, is available for charter if you fancy a bit of a taste of luxury. it will set you back $12,000 for a single 24 hour period for up to 8 guests. (included: boat hire, crew, fuel, soft drinks, orange juice and meals. Alcohol charged on consumption.)

Channelling Monte Carlo Daily Photo

Jilly from Monte Carlo Daily Photo often shows us luxury yachts parked at the marina there. So, here's some Sydney boat-porn, at Rozzelle Bay.

I guess for this owner, a superyacht is an expensive mistress?

A very chocolate Christmas

Rozelle markets

Adam believes in fairer funding for public schools and was there to help spread the word at Rozelle markets yesterday.

More funding for public schools

Michelle and Mel staff a stall at Rozelle markets today, encouraging people to sign a petition and make a submission in favour of fairer funding for public schools in Australia.
