But why's that floating RSL stuffing up my view?

Many times I have come through the heads towards Garden Island and last November came in on the Explorer of the Seas. It is a beautiful trip from the heads to the harbour but, I understand your pain at the view being blocked! I think cruise ship season only goes for another couple of months - in the mean time, just think of all the money those rich americans are spending in the state!

I'm all for the tourism but Sydney is getting about 300 a year. Apparently at berth they use the cheapest nastiest oil to power their generators which spew out some really toxic fumes.

Maybe more at the bow of the original HMAS Sydney.... I can remember when they had Tribal Class destroyers parked there.... Arunta I think ... why didn't they turn one into a floating museum? Or the Melbourne, or the Sydney, with all used aircraft on the deck like the Kitty Hawk (I think it is)?

Christ we're a bunch of Philistines here....

It doesn't matter what religion you choose.
