Sydney Ferries Darling Harbour Service on a First Fleeter

This shot clip shows the Sydney Ferries Darling Harbour service on M.V. Supply, a First Fleeter berthing at Milson's Point, MaMahon's Point, Balmain East and King Street Wharf. Both the Engineer and deckhand on the boat are both females. Females make up about 20% of the Sydney Ferries work force, filling all positions from Skipper, Engineer, Deckhand, Controlling officer among other roles.

All those old ferries had character.in 1959 when I was just a lad living in central Victoria , my dad who loved Sydney Harbour and the ferries took me for a visit. A wonderful experience I still cherish all these years on. Remember the Show Bo, at. Similar size to the South Steyne but I would imagine older. Great memories

Oh, Darling Harbor Sydney Coast
I'd like forever to get lost
In this fantastic paradise
Where everything is very nice
I feel like being in a dream
No fear it's melting like ice-cream
On burning rays of Aussie sun
Looks like a prize I have just won
From God himself and from my fate
When I could open Heaven's gate
Called Darling Harbor Sydney Coast
Australia... I've truly lost
Or maybe given you my heart
Since now we cannot be apart
I'm sure hundreds of percent
I love this magic continent
Its climate, beaches, ocean waves
Long time ago, like ancient slaves,
State convicts only worked in there
Now happy people everywhere
Across these streets have daily walks
Enjoying life in noisy talks.
Among these citizens I am!
Got lucky to be one of them.
Australia! How I love you!
No kind of happiness I knew
Can match the one I've just received
Whom shall I thank for this best gift
That most of us can't conjure up?
Delicious wine in golden cup
Was given me in paradise
The smallest continent by size
The best of countries in the world
Australia, you're like a pearl!
You're shining like the brightest star!
That's really close, though seems so far...
But you are closest for my heart
Where you became the dearest part!!!

Awesome behind the scenes footage there of the first fleeters, I can only name a couple of them, Sirius, Golden Grove, Friendship, Scarabourogh, Fishburn, Charolette, but Never seen the Supply in the metal as seen in the clip as yet. When there finally decommisioned and replaced the replacment will have some big shoes to fill But would any one know what the limits are wave size wise for them ie with a 68 foot single hull yacht say the limit is 7 foot before it's out of it's depth and in trouble
