Just a quick short one today...Since the ship was moved to its new berth, late last year, it's become impossible to get a full shot of the whole ship. The company who own the oposite dock are very security conscious and it's all gated and locked up with razor wire on the top of a 20' high fence.
There were no phone numbers shown so I did a search when I got home and found just who they are.
I contacted the Ports Manager via an Email address they showed. He wrote back almost straight away and said I would be very welcome to come onto their site/dock.
I will be escorted as a visitor to the site.
He asked me when I'd like to come down, so hopefully it will happen tomorrow morning.
I'll be able to post some shots of the whole ship and it will be interesting to view it from the other side.
These are a few I did get this morning, if you look at the left side of the ship you can see the dock where I'll take my shots from..
The display board explains what the other steam ship is...
Sadly all tours and visits have been postponed due to a minor Corona scare in Adelaide.
Just a quick short one today...Since the ship was ... (show quote)

Thanks Merry, we're currently in a 6 day lock-down...cannot leave our houses unless for food or emergencies...aslo we must wear a mask if we do venture out. A $1000 fine if we get caught doing the wrong thing. We only have 20 or so cases here but we don't want to take any chances...

that's amazing that you have only had 20 cases there...a thousand dollar fine would certainly encourage me
to say in and wear a mask. it's crazy over here...spreading, big groups of gatherings, a lot of people won't
wear masks...it's scary.

Our state government jumped on it right away Merry...unlike other states and countries. I couldn't believe it when I saw people in the US marching down the streets with machine guns saying the virus was all a government plot...
