Behind the Sydney Opera House is Circular Quay, which is the hub of ferry traffic in the harbour. There's also private vessels, cruise ships, , a floating bar and the occasional military vessel.

There are several classes of ferry in the fleet, including rivercats (on the left) which have a shallow draft as they travel up the river to Paramatta.

The largest class of Sydney Ferry are the Freshwater class which travels to Manly and back near the Sydney Heads which can lead to a bumpy ride if there's a swell.

I have traveled most of the world, and have never been interested in setting foot in Australia.

I’m not sure why exactly, but zero interest.

God damn. It's fucking awesome.

Got any snake or spider phobia? If not, maybe it’s the Vegemite keeping you away

[–] Jakdracula@lemmy.world -4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

No, it’s the simple reason that everyone I’ve ever met from Australia, women, men and even children were just awful people.

Angry, violent, rude wanna be bullies. Always looking for a fight, even the women.

I’ve had no problems anywhere with anyone, but when an Australian shows up, ugh, just awful.

I went to college with a couple Aussies, they were pretty chill

As a foreigner that loves in Sydney, you might like it. It's pretty racist so you'd fit right in.

TIL Australian is a race.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Til, racist people tend to think they are not racist due to technical use of language.

Wait, no I knew that. Awful people are awful.

I’ll let my Vietnamese wife know I’m racist.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I too have a black friend.

You think Vietnamese people are black?
