Can we have a pin up or what ever you call it on the topic of how long to get from the ship on disembarkation to Sydney airport.

 It’s a regular question.

👍

It would save us repeating ourselves every week.

[MicCanberra]

Agreed, who needs us repeating everything over and over, a morning flight is risky no matter where you are flying to.

[Chiliburn]

It doesn’t stop

My kids you to sing a song about it’s the song that never ends goes on and on my friend, over and over, feel the same every time I see, what time can I fly out etc.

A nice notice on the top of the page with the facts.

Stay the night if you’re international flight is before 1:00 PM, have a leisurely breakfast and exit off the ship.

I don’t think we have a moderator.

 

We are an anarcho-syndicalist commune.

We can't be rebel greenies, we're cruisers. The ocean is blue so we have to be rebel blueys. 🤣

In Australia, a bluey can be many things, a dog, a blue bottle, a fly, a steak, a cheese and now a cruiser. We really are a weird mob aren't we.

That would have been first on my list, after I corrected it

[cheznandy]

or humping bluey, so just to keep really off track here is letter to a paper from one of my great Uncles Thomas Lacey Lawson, printed in 1896 re Humping Bluey, just for some Aussie education.

Looking for employment is a bit different now!!

That's fantastic! I read the article with interest but am none the wiser as to that particular colloquialism. (Does it actually mean 'looking for work', 'doing it tough', or what???)

 

Also. Any relation? (Have to ask)

Humping Bluey - carrying a swag

A great Uncle, originally from the Barossa , South Australia, then Broken Hill. I found this article when doing my ancestory and the conversation of Bluey reminded me of it!!

You need to get there before the plane leaves but after the ship docks, so I need more details, like which airport?
