HMAS CERBERUS (Royal Australian Navy)

Today, we went to visit our daughter where she works at HMAS Cerberus, the Royal Australian Navy's premier training establishment near Hastings. I took a few photos, none of which would be regarded as a security risk, but I was aware that I just shouldn't be snapping photos all over the place.

This is one of the two churches on the base.




The Wardroom is where the officers are served their meals. It's very ornate with two chandeliers and has two large murals, one at each end of the room.


Across from one of the churches, there was a park with a small lake/pond but because of the drought we're experiencing right now, there was no water in it.

Sydney is always a wonderful start to a cruise with such views of the harbour bridge and Opera House. First port of call was Hobart, Tasmania.  The weather was overcast and had been raining earlier on but was dry the full time we were off the ship. Moving on, we visited Burnie another port in Tasmania before sailing to our home town of Melbourne.  We took a river cruise over to Williamstown where we had fish and chips for lunch followed by an ice cream.  It was a beautiful, warm day. Adelaide was next.  It was Good Friday so most shops would have been closed so we decided on a walk down by the river.  We'd b
