This is the MV Sydney 2000 in Circular Quay, Australia. It is the largest cruise ship operating in Sydney Harbour. It was built in 1998 in Western Australia.

This shot is for Bob who requested a ship for his birthday. It was cropped out of a stock photo which is available for download here.

Keppel Konnections

This is the ferry we took to Keppel Island recently. It is a new service which started a few months ago. Last year we took the more expensive Freedom Fast Cats which had a monopoly at the time. Either way at around $50 return it is the cheapest way we know of to see the Great Barrier Reef. The bloke with the boxes is Geoff Mercer who was our host at the GKI Holiday Village. He then became our boss when we decided to spend an extra week on the island working for our accommodation.

Murray Princess

This is the Murray Princess in South Australia. It is the largest paddlewheeler in Australia. Unlike river boats with imitation paddles, The Princess is authentic paddle power.

South Steyne

This is the South Steyne Floating Restaurant in Darling Harbour, New South Wales. We went to the Sydney Tower today, where the view of this ship and the city are fantastic.

I used Tilt-Shift to create the miniature effect on this former ferry.

We are flying back to the UK tomorrow and will return to Australia in April
