bustling port at nuku alofa in tonga

07.08.10 bustling port at nuku alofa in tonga

this is the main port at nuku alofa, capital city of tonga.

a little bit different to port botany., but that’s the charm.

if you wander down to the docks in the afternoon, you can meet the local fishermen.

they hand spear all their fish while snorkelling. you can pick up a plastic bag full of fish, maybe 3-4 kilos worth (mixed species) for about AUD$5.

not bad at all. makes me wonder why they keep eating this.

refinery at night

21.07.10 refinery at night

think i will start doing something on surveillance cameras soon, it’s not as if there is any lack of them about these days.

i’d love to know how this tank got that huge dent in it. perhaps the lamp post fell on it once?

unloading containers at port botany

16.07.10 unloading containers at port botany

see this ship and all it’s containers?

it’s being unloaded of its cargo of imported cheap chinese crap that you buy cheap, use once and then throw away.

the ship has traveled far.

qantas taxis for takeoff

11.04.10 qantas taxis for takeoff

another smashingly brilliant day here today in sydney. can any aviation nut tell me what kind of aircraft this is?

botany bay was still as a lake, great water skiing day today for sure. perfect light, great visibility. you can even see the ports of botany there in the background.
