Certainly a spectacular sight, and look forward to seeing the firework display (albeit on TV!) when the QE2 joins her later in the day.

That picture brings back memories.......when I was in teens,on my first visit to Sydney,the building behind QM2's front mast was the tallest building in town.(AMP building) .Now,and not that many years later,here is a ship, just as tall.

Eh? The building in front of QM2's mast isnt AMP, its Aurora Place built like 3 years ago.
Its a pity QM2 had to depart leaving Sydney with such a sour taste, probably thanks to Mr. Iemma!

I wondered who paid for the fireworks??

Read the post more carefully. He wasn't talking about the building "in front of QM2's mast". He was talking about the building "behind QM2's front mast". i.e the short one partially obscured by QM2's front mast.

No that one is Hudson building and Governor Phillip Tower. I think he meant in front of QM2's funnel, that is the AMP building
