More of Darling Harbour

I guess this photo says it all, Ken Warby achieved the the water speed record in 1978 in this jet powered boat.

This shot is of the replica of Captain Cook's ship the Endeavour. It is not that big and to think he sailed around the world in it is quite amazing. His voyages have been compared to the Space Shuttle missions. There is Yues planning a world cruise!

Not sure of the story of the lighthouse that has been relocated to Darling Harbour along with the lifeboat, but they look good.

Here we have the HMAS Vampire which I think is a destroyer and the submarine HMAS Onslow, we have been on the Vampire which not that big considering they had a crew of around 200.

So there is a piece of our Darling Harbour, further towards the city is the exhibition halls and shopping arcades and then the Chinese Gardens next to China Town. It is hard to imagine what this place was like in the old days, shunting yards and docks. Darling Harbour was opened for our bicentenary back in 1988.
