National Celebration
Uploaded: October 07, 2013
Taken on Saturday night (5th October) at the Harbour fireworks celebration to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Australian Navy's first Fleet entry into Sydney Harbour in 1913. This image shows the Opera House with the Royal Australian Navy White Ensign projected on the tiled sails. Carolyn and I braved the crush to become just two of the 1 Million plus crowd around the foreshore.
