DESCRIPTION
Event Details:
A leisurely Sunday BYO lunch aboard an historic steamer, while you cruise the waters of Sydney Harbour. What could be better?
Bring along a picnic lunch and beverages of your choice and board Waratah, a grand old lady of 121-years, while you discover interesting places and learn about their history.
Or just sit back and enjoy the ever-changing views of Sydney Harbour on this two and a half hour cruise.
Waratah was built at Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour in 1902 and you will see her birthplace, along with other Harbour islands, Goat, Spectacle and Snapper.
You’ll see historic Mort’s Dock and Woolwich Dock which catered for the ships of yesteryear and there’s an experienced tour guide aboard who can help with interesting background.
But essentially, it’s a cruise to relax and enjoy your Sunday.
