Rare roscoe39 Posted November 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2005 the QE2 docks right in the heart of the city in the "rocks" part of town., Its the oldest part of sydney but you are about 5 minutes walk from the Opera House and 2 minutes from some great sightseeing. Sydney and Auckland are probably two of the prettiest harbours to sail into.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiIan Posted December 4, 2005 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Where do the cruise ships dock in Sydney Harbor? We will be on the QE2 in February there. Thanks! You will also be visiting Tauranga in NZ on the 10th Feb. The harbour here is quite spectacular as well with the narrow entrance dominated but our extinct [we hope] volcano called Mount Maunganui or in Maori its Mauao. If you need any info on this area just post and we will help if we can. Regards ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxx Posted December 4, 2005 #6 Share Posted December 4, 2005 There are several places to dock. It also depends on the size of the ship, many have to fit under the Harbour Bridge. QE2 will be at the Overseas terminal at Circular Quay. Have a look at the view sydney website listed below and you can see a webcam which will show you Circular Quay. http://www.sydneyports.com.au/Cruising/CruiseSchedule.asp http://www.viewsydney.com/ http://www.sydneyports.com.au/home.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be staying in the area for Elms Mission Station and Te Puke! Any other ideas? Thanks for being here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean you would like suggestions on what to do when your ship docks in Tauranga or are you actually staying near the places you mentioned. TePuke is the Kiwifruit capitol of NZ and about a 30 minute drive from the port. The Elms Mission station is a 10 minute drive. Regards Ian [Tauranga] i live here.
