We have a saying around here, "If he was up your BUTT you'd know." Of course we substitute another word for "butt". Tongue

Are you looking at the Catamaran?  It doesn't look like it would clear that bridge in the picture, and the opticial illusion would appear that it just came from under the bridge.   However, its not pushing up a bow wake, therefore its probably not even underway.  My assumption is that its either just pulled out of one of the slips, or has been/is anchored where it sits, and that its facing towards open water in its current position.

No, I was just trying to sound like I got it.  I don't - have no idea what Harry put this up for.  The catamaran doesn't look close enough to the bridge to judge the height very well.

Behind the camera in Sydney, Australia...

Apparently I'm cool AND smart but very slow. It took me what, 3 days to figure that out? shocked

The white structure behind the destroyer kind of clued me in, I think it's a concert hall?  Then I did a search on "Yellow Water Taxis" and the truth be known.

Would've been nice to know that we weren't looking for something IN the picture, but were supposed to identify WHERE the picture was taken...

Just this morning I remembered Harold was going to OZ and it all fell together.

I think he confused "Where's Waldo" with "Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego"

But that's ok, I hope he's having a blast. Is he going to Alice?

We  (THR) have a friend in Alice Springs. He's a gunny. That's why I ask whether you might make it there. I have a pretty good feeling he'd give you a warm welcome.

Have you tried the Vegemite?

How about a witchedy grub? (sp?)

yum... Tongue

Those are some beatiful shots there Harold, thanks. I'm assuming the translation of that sign by the billabong would read  "Please do not feed the crocs" Cheesy

The rock painting is fascinating.

Is that first pic from the Darling Harbor area?  I recognized the taxis but that was pretty much it.  The navy boat there reminded me of the pic I have of the Aussie Navy boat with a big red kangaroo on the superstructure.  I'll try and get that scanned soo.  It wasn't a digital pic.
Oh, Lord, please let me be as sanctimonious and self-righteous as those around me, so that I may fit in.
