Think I might go to Lady macquaries chair and photograph the boat/ship this evening. I believe it is leaving at around 1900hrs.

Maybe some of you would like to wander on over?

Sydney Ports does have it listed for a 19.00 hr departure on Friday 17th, but Cunard's website gives a 14.00 hr departure time. Not sure which one is correct, but I would go with Cunard's time and plan to be at Circular Quay to take a few shots at 14.00. I also want to get a shot tonight, but with the thunderstorm not sure if it will work out. Check my website after 21.00 to see :-)

Just confirmed with Sydney Ports the QE2 departs at 2.00pm today.
At least that reduces the likelihood of a storm intervening

Just confirmed the same thing myself Ray. Only problem is that the Opera House forecourt area & surrounds will be closed off at that time due to Kerry Packer memorial service. So not a good spot to get shots from. I am thinking of Kirribilli side, at least the sun will be somewhat to the rear from there.

Cheers,
Paul.

Paul, just be sure it really departs then. A friends parents went on a cruise with 11am departue, I dropped them at the wharf at 9am, they rang me from just before the heads at about 4pm!

Glen, I guess not even aircraft depart on time anymore, so a big ocean liner might take it's time. However they will have a pilot organised to take them out plus high tide is at 12.00 so there is certain amount of time they have to depart within. I only have an hour or so to hang around so I live in hope.

Paul, hope it is ok, like you I assumed liners departed in a timely manner, was stunned when they rang me having cocktails in the afternoon. (Was also stunned at the lines of people and luggage to load). I have no idea, but wouldn't extend my lunch hour in the hope they are on time :wink:
