What a day - out on Sydney Harbour aboard the MV Bennelong for the Naval Historical Society's fascinating cruise exploring the waterways west of the Harbour Bridge.
Australia's rich naval heritage through expert commentary, historical photographs and informative displays. Highlights of the cruise included views of HMAS Waterhen, Cockatoo Island, Spectacle Island and Snapper Island, each brought to life with stories from the Society's passionate volunteers. The Naval Historical Society, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preserving and honouring Australia's naval history, also provided everyone with a commemorative booklet to take home as a souvenir.
With beautiful harbour views, great company and plenty of interesting history to discover, it was a memorable outing. Thanks to Chris for organising.
