It’s a new theme today: ‘ Seaside‘. I hope there will be plenty to capture.
This is the beautiful coast at Shoalwater Bay, a few miles down the coast at Rockingham. This has not been enhanced…it really is that colour!

Comments rssOne of those days where you don’t know where it went!
Grabbed the camera and walked down to what’s left of the Long Jetty. The jetty was the focal point of maritime activities in Western Australia from the 1870s to the1920s. It extended 750m out to sea. There is only this bit left!

Comments rssAn early start this morning to welcome the Queen Victoria cruise ship into port.
Shiny ballustrade outside the library
For all the shipping enthusiasts…..
Queen Victoria is not an ocean liner as she does not have the heavy plating, high freeboard, and propulsion system of a liner, but is outfitted as a cruise ship. Some ship aficionados have criticised Cunard for naming this ship as a Queen; the designation having previously been reserved for the line’s ocean liners and flagships (Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2). It has been suggested that the Queen Victoria should have borne the name of one of Cunard’s previous smaller ships, such as the Mauretania, orAquitania, as was done with the last Caronia, which served Cunard between 1999 and 2004.
Having said that, she is a very pretty ship:-
