You probably don't know about flying boats - planes that take off from/land on water. They provided a plane service from Sydney to Lord Howe Island (which did not have the space for a regular airport) and a couple of other destinations. Their Sydney base was Rose Bay. Watching them take off or land, especially when you were on a Manly ferry going past, was a great sight.
Really? So interesting. I have noticed them, but I thought they were private planes. Do you know if they still provide this service? That would be awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😊
From memory, the flying boat service came to an end about 50 years or so ago. Certainly any planes you saw moored would have been private. @@ottipellegrini
Hi you should get the opal card it's the public transport card for trains buses and ferries it's cheaper than paying by credit card and I think travel is half price on Sundays
@@ottipellegrini hi after you top up the card in Australian dollars you wouldn't be paying bank fees on overseas accounts I think? And after you use it 8 times you get half price travel for the rest of the week.your advice on what to do was great the same as I would tell people.
@@damianmcwilliams2371 you’re right, I didn’t not think of it because I have an Australian card, but it’s good to point it out for people that live overseas:)
