karmac Posted February 17, 2008 #277 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Uncle Arthur, do you recognise my avatar? HINT: Probably the richest, ugliest woman in the world. Yes, I must agree with you mochuck, Donatella Versace is not a pretty women. Would love to have her money but I think I prefer my face:) Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloakndagger Posted February 18, 2008 #278 Share Posted February 18, 2008 For those interested, I found this schedule of events for the two queens for all ports of call in Australia. It says that Sydney and Brisbane won't be doing a fireworks display for the boats. Melbourne will have fireworks for the QV on Thursday at 8.45pm as she sails for Sydney. It gives best vantage points for seeing the ships and info on public transport. http://www.queenmary2.com.au/html/schedule-of-events.cfm Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the latest - I'll post an update if anything changes - Saturday 23 - 5.30 am Queen Victoria arrives at Circular Quay Sunday 24 - 5.00am Queen Elizabeth 2 arrives at "ADI" (Garden Island). Sunday 24 - 5.30am Sun Princess alongside at Darling Harbour.

Monday 25 - 6.30pm QE2 leaves Sydney for the last time :( Don't know exactly where ADI is, but it must be one of the berths around Garden Island.

Approximately 6:30pm: Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth 2 will pass on either side of Fort Denison . They will greet each other with a ‘Whistle Salute’ using their signaling horns that can be heard over 16 kilometres away. This Royal Rendezvous will be the first and last time these two Cunard Queens will meet in Australian waters. Kiribilli sounds perfect Chez. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DucknChook Posted February 20, 2008 #292 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Looking forward to catching up with those I have met and those still to meet. Only really really peeved off about A League Grand Final, have been told there is no way I can get out of work on Sunday night, we have 3000 'Marinaters' as well as the Mariners coming back to work for a meet and greet. Although did manage to get my 7pm start moved till 9pm. So looks like I will be on my best behaviour with no alcohol to be consumed :( Which for all concerned is probably a good thing! With a bit of luck will be able to wave the 'girls' goodbye and hit the freeway in time to get home for work. Was debating what to wear, maybe if I wear my work uniform i can just go straight to work :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
