I love pics of all sorts, you have some real nice captures there Waz
I have 1000's of pics but these will do for now.
Pics are St Kilda where i spent the early years of my life, and still go down there alot seeing as its not far, and the ship is a tramp steamer Kwangsi that was loading on the wharfs at Port Melbourne one morning when i was down there early.

A "postcard from Port Melbourne", showing (now ex-) HMAS Sydney.
I only noticed, as I work on the FFG (Frigates). Sydney is (or was) one of my workplaces.

Small world lol i had up until Sept last year been on the wharfs for 10 years, my dad was at sea for 35years. My wifes Grandfather was on HMAS Stuart, the scrap iron flotilla in the mediteranian in 1940-42. Upon his return to Australia he was sent to Sydney to recuperate and signed on to HMAS Lolita, he was in action again against the Japanese Mini Subs in Sydney Harbor.
I also have some great pics of HMAS Canberra, The Canberra Class Amphibious Assault Ship, she was bought across from her dock to East Webb under tugs so they could practice loading her, and make sure they could get the vehicles on and off, they found problems with the B ramp straight away, the trucks wouldn't go on board.
I've been doing some work (through various channels) for the FFGs supplying new vent valves for some re-furb work the Navy have been doing... Have done the HMAS Darwin, Newcastle and another one that escapes me.
Hi ZM,
You with H.I. Fraser, perhaps?
I'm at BAE on the Island.
Melbourne is probably the missing one...
