The Queen Mary 2 is the luxury ocean liner that was berthed at Garden Island dockyard yesterday. This view is from the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf in Woolloomooloo Bay. It made a grand entrance into Sydney Harbour on Tuesday morning, with its sister ship the Queen Elizabeth. The skies were a glorious blue, compared to the dreary grey skies we had the day before. What a difference a day makes.
This ship is an Adelaide class guided-missile frigate of the Royal Australian Navy which is docked at the the Garden Island dockyard, the home port of the naval fleet based on the east coast of Australia. The HMAS Newcastle (FFG 06) is named for the city of Newcastle, New South Wales, the largest provincial city in Australia. It was the last ship of the class to be constructed and entered service in 1993. Garden Island is a marine engineering and refit centre for the Royal Australian Navy and Thales Australia with the docks extending along Woolloomooloo Bay from Potts Point to Woolloomooloo. This shot was taken from the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf on Woollomooloo Bay.
This boardwalk on Wolloomooloo Bay provides a link from Wolloomooloo to The Domain. In the background is the Garden Island dockyard on Sydney Harbour, which is the home port for the naval fleet.
