I will scout around for something

Daintree River?

About 500 from memory, but Still did a quick search and that’s the average. It can vary from 450-550, and could possibly take 600 pax at absolute maximum.

We had the amazing experience of sailing (slowly and gingerly) into the Troll Fjord a few years ago during a wonderful voyage on Seabourn Quest. This lovely vessel performed a complete turnaround at the end of the fjord. The sides of this natural wonder seemed close enough to touch. The beauty of the rocks and vegetation (both clinging and trailing) left us breathless. Our skilled Captain held the ship just off the opening to the fjord for what seemed ages. He was waiting for the wind to drop before entering. We have sailed on many lines over too many years to count. That magical day is still discussed with awe, and suspended forever in our memories.

Thanks also from us, Yaya. Safe travels home.

Oh dear, this could be a long hiatus.

Hope that means you’ve fully recovered from your Achilles surgery, Mic.

Yesss! River Clyde approaching Greenock, Glasgow’s port. Les has enjoyed cruising up the Clyde River from Bateman’s Bay to Nelligen, and in much earlier years, we enjoyed days of waterskiing and family picnics on this beautiful waterway. Clydesdales are truly beautiful, intelligent horses. Only a short distance from Loch Lomond. The Clyde River shipbuilding industry was once the largest such industry in the world. Our first RAN vessels were produced here. Phew! This was a marathon. Well done, and your turn.

Oh, and its namesake is closer to Tasmania than this iconic waterway. NSW is closer to Tassie, right?

Not a lake (loch). Not a dam. Not a sea either, btw. What sort of waterway is left, apart from a canal, which it isn’t. Maritime industry (huge, actually, in its peak years). That should suggest a large population not too far away. Near Loch Lomond. The first part of the name of a noble beast of work and burden. Gather all the clues together.

Okay, time for more hints. It’s not a loch, not a dam. The beautiful backdrop is the Highlands. Think of the first part of the name of a heavy haulage animal.

No, not a dam. Correct, Kristelle.

It’s not a loch.

Not too far from there actually. Look at the clue re maritime industry.

Two whole cherries! Wow!

They were delicate and exquisite in QG 2weeks ago on QA.

No, not that one.

Not there either

Not Invergordon, either.

@NSWP any guesses, Les?

Thank you for posting this nostalgic charmer. Crepes Suzette and Cherries Jubilee are still offered on Cunard’s vessels.

Not Lochiel. Les would guess this in a heartbeat.

Hint: think of a namesake waterway closer to Tassie than this northern home to a proud maritime history.

Yes. Can you name the area of water the image is taken from?

No, much further north..
