"Platypus" Submarine Base in North Sydney

A fun morning exploring and photographing the Sub Base Platypus in North Sydney with the Photography Meetup.  It is a former naval facility that served as a torpedo factory and submarine base for the Royal Australian Navy. Established in 1942, it was used for assembling and maintaining torpedoes during and after World War II. In 2005, the site was transferred to the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, which undertook significant remediation and redevelopment efforts to make it accessible to the public.

Maritime Museum (Darling Harbour)

I spent a very enjoyable morning exploring the Maritime Museum. The highlight was getting to board and check out a war ship and a submarine.  I decided I definitely wouldn't want to go to war on a submarine. I would get a serious dose of claustrophobia!  The Wildlife Photographer of the Year was also on display in the museum. As usual, lots of inspiring photos on display. I must enter a photo one year!

Kayaking with Chris

A lovely day out on the harbour.  Chris brought out coffee in a flask which went down a treat. We explored the old Platypus Submarine Base.
