I was at a restaurant in Sydney yesterday and just happened to see Pacific Jewel leaving port on her maiden voyage for P&O Australia . Here’s a few photos I took with my mobile phone. It was a gloomy day, and I’m sure everyone on board was glad to be heading north into sunnier weather.
But any time of year, Milson’s point is a pretty place with some spectacular views – especially if you love ships!
Incidentally, you can now see Pacific Jewel’s webcam on Shipwatcher at:
