One of our highlights from a visit a few years ago. You do have to get there early though if you want a bit of shade.

First day of Spring at the Cronulla office.

Gerry and the Pacemakers
Song and movie remembered by us older people

And I watched Gerry live at the old Sydney stadium perform that song.
The ferries now use the Gerry Marsden Pier.

Yesterdays office was at Lock 3 on the Welland Canal watching two ships using the lock. The lock is part of the greater St Lawrence Seaway System.

Each lock is 233.5 metres long (766 feet), 24.4 metres wide (80 feet) and 9.1 metres deep (30 feet) over the sill. A lock fills with approximately 91 million litres of water in 7-10 mins.

The Federal Nakagawa entering the empty lock.

The Nakagawa's 200 mtrs long with a dead weight of 36,500 tons. There' s less than a metre gap between the ship and the lock wall.

Not only car park but also truck park view. Must be up market room

Ship's in position and secured, lock gates closed...

...then add 91 million litres of water., open the gates at the other end and get underway.

As one ship departed another was on the way down..

On the private top deck of the 83 bus heading back to Eastbourne, NZ after a quick Woolies run.

..and so it begins again the other way.
Ship comes in...

..positioned, secured and water pumped out.

 

[Wing Nut]

Gates are opened..

...and she's underway.

To see this was absolutely amazing and fascinating watching a 36,500 ton ship rise and fall all by harnessing and engineering natural forces (the water is not mechanically pumped). Highly recommend.

Aboard the QF592 office, waiting for the QF509 office to clear 34R prior to getting a somewhat hazier view of the city (vs Sunday).
