Thanks to Nikon Boy for the info on arrival of QE II in Melbourne this afternoon. Arrived at the Station Pier this afternoon as she was just approaching the pier and took a few snaps.



Thanks

Alex

that was pretty darn fast of her
i remember walking back home from work friday afternoon passing by and seeing that ship now it's in your area of the woods

great shot, where was the photo taken? Was it a Dotckland?

Thanks for the comments guys.

Technik: This was taken from a small pier which runs parallel to the Station Pier.

Ahhh.....Southampton
Where I'll be in 5weeks!

Alex, that is a great pic of such a glorious ship. I would like be crusing away on this for a holliday but i dont like the water that much. been on one once and not sure i would do it again.LOL I'm a chicken.

Alex, do you have any without the tugs. Shame the tugs look so modern, as this converted to B&W looks great.

Thanks for your comments, John. I don't know if I'd enjoy it either, but what worries me is being stuck on the ship with the same people day in day out for months

Alex

Thanks, Darryl. Unfortunately not. They were there since I arrived.

Alex, when i went on the Oriana i went to the pictures and was when Jaws came out and well of all movies to have on was the Posiodon Adventure and Jaws. We caught the tail end of a cyclone between Auckland and Suva and yeh i was crook as a dog and could hardly walk when we did get on land as felt like i was swaying, and i more than likely was. I spent more time in the pool as was only place i didnt feel sick, or i was getting tossed around like a whirlpool washing machine.

Will someone please delete this duplicate post.
Cheers

The back end of this old girl is certainly much more attractive than some of the younger models getting around.

Cheers

She certainly is a majestic old lady. So is her namesake.
