Now I will be thinking of him too.!:icon_e_sad:

That is a great shot of the Coat hanger under construction but my eye caught the Naval Vessel in the background.   Could that be HMAS Australia?

[Robster]

Are we looking out to the ocean from this perspective ie.? Would the Opera house  eventually be built far right other side of bridge.?

[enworb]

HMAS Australia was scuttled in 1924 one year after construction of the bridge began (1923), i doubt they would have had this much completed with in one year of starting.

Maybe this might help:
HMAS Australia (I84/D84/C01) was a County-class heavy cruiser of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). One of two Kent-subclass ships ordered for the RAN in 1924, Australia was laid down in Scotland in 1925, and entered service in 1928. Apart from an exchange deployment to the Mediterranean from 1934 to 1936, during which she became involved in the planned British response to the Abyssinia Crisis, Australia operated in local and South-West Pacific waters until World War II began.
 
The cruiser remained near Australia until mid-1940, when she was deployed for duties in the eastern Atlantic, including hunts for German ships and participation in Operation Menace. During 1941, Australia operated in home and Indian Ocean waters, but was reassigned as flagship of the ANZAC Squadron in early 1942. As part of this force (which was later redesignated Task Force 44, then Task Force 74), Australia operated in support of United States naval and amphibious operations throughout South-East Asia until the start of 1945, including involvement in the battles at the Coral Sea and Savo Island, the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Leyte Gulf, and numerous actions during the New Guinea campaign. She was forced to withdraw for repairs following a series of kamikaze attacks during the invasion of Lingayen Gulf. The prioritisation of shipyard work in Australia for British Pacific Fleet vessels saw the Australian cruiser sail to England, where she was at the end of the war.
 
During the late 1940s, Australia served with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan, and participated in several port visits to other nations, before being retasked as a training ship in 1950. The cruiser was decommissioned in 1954, and sold for scrapping in 1955.

There was more than one HMAS Australia.

Ah it may well be her in the background then.

RIVER WALK

There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank. "Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"  

    The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, "You  ARE on the other side."  
 
 

 

   

AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.  

    "Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me."  

The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed;  

Likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.  

    The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you?  

    "Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde."  

    "I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken."  

   

   

BLONDE ON THE SUN  

    A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, "We were the first in space!"  

    The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"  

    The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!"  

    The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads.  "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian.

    To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"  

   

IN A VACUUM  

     A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"  

    She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
