There are millions of photos as taken all over the world.
What about some nice ones from the sky
Going back to March 2002 and our friend Alf Batchelder took these photos after the vessel just berthed at Station Pier in Melbourne during her inaugural visit.
He hired a Piper plane especially for this occasion.
Thanks Alf sharing these exceptional photos with us.
I followed the vessel simultaneously in a launch .
You may also note the bunker boat alongside.
