Today we headed over to the city to use our free tickets to the National Maritime Museum. An interesting place with examples of the old boats used in the South Pacific.
There was a wide variety of boats there, including this from the Olympic gold winning (1972) eights rowing.
Outside were their operational boats, including the Ted Ashby which we went on back in April.
For lunch we took advantage of Harbourside's winter special of two courses for $25, the restaurant was nearly full so many others also thought it was a good idea.
In the afternoon we went to our first World Premiere for a film called the Land of the Long White Cloud. The Kiwi director was there to introduce his film - a documentary based on Ninety Mile Beach during the Snapper Classic fishing competition earlier this year. A fascinating, and at times funny, film, with the fishermen asked all kinds of random questions. This picture is taken from the promotional material taken at the time of the competition.
