For over four decades I have been a rail and bus photographer.
However, during this time I have aimed the lens at other subjects, be they different transportation, scenery, buildings and other bollocks.
Given these do not really fit the scope of my other sites, I felt compelled to set up a new site so as to inflict my other photographic garbage upon the world. While primarily Philippine and Australian content, there will be the occasional forays into Fiji and Hong Kong. Perhaps other locations should the current pandemic ever allow it.
So sit back and enjoy, or hate, even be indifferent. That choice is purely up to you.
One of the best parts of having one of the world's most awesome nieces staying with us, is being able to spend a heap of quality time (its called bonding time apparently) with her while touring around our city sights.
In an unexpected turn of events, it turns out we share numerous interests in common, and her time with us will likely remain amongst the best periods in my mediocre time spent on this planet.
So, one of those places on top of the 'to do' list had to be our Cockatoo Island. A location chokkas full of history, and located along our beautiful Sydney Harbour.
In this second installment, we look at some of the remaining photos taken on Cockatoo Island, followed by our return to Circular Quay.
There is a third part that you're still having to endure, a trip to Manly and back in the wheelhouse of the Catherine Hamlin. But that endurance test is for another day.

Wish I had a Peso for every time someone has taken this shot from Circular Quay station.

After entry, we headed directly south to the incredibly interesting heavy engineering section. I wish I had the map linked at the bottom of the article, as it would have been of great help.
However, it provides just another reason to return.

Impressive much.

Views inside the heavy engineering area of Cockatoo Island. The sheer scale of it all is quite mind blowing.
