    Getting TO/AROUND: Sydney on the whole has a pretty good transport system ranging from busses, trains, cabs and ferries and one beaut (not yet tried by me) .......the mono rail........ I was very impressed though by the ski lift type transport as an alternative to either bus or shanksus pony up the mountain at Taronga Park Zoo.

    Getting TO/AROUND: To ferry around the sydney harbour is quite the most relaxing and wonderful way to go. You can be out on deck on a fine day and enjoy the sights or if its too blowy or raining you can still get a great view from inside as they have plenty of windows. Usually the harbour just provides a little movement ......rarely really rough.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Sydney Harbour is a far busier place now than when this photo was taken some 30 years ago. The tug was coming to steer the Arcadia out of the Harbour and on to the high seas..................What a wonderful cruise. It was exciting to see the tiny tugs manouvering the huge ocean liner as if it were a row boat. Fantastic experience.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The endeavour replica here photographed in Coffs Harbour has done a number of trips from Sydney since it was fitted out. It provides opportunities for young people to experience life as it was. It was exciting to see it roll into Coffs Harbour.....

    Getting TO/AROUND: On a recent trip to Sydney I was fortunate to see a passenger liner being docked by tug boats. As the name implies, they (tug boats), do tug, but quite often push and shove too.....What a mess they would make if the captains of the tugs.....they would be pilots I guess, lost concentration just as they were doing the last shove.
