There is a beautiful children's book about the John Ena and the family of the captain who commanded her. It's called "Sailing Home: A Story of a Childhood at Sea" If you haven't read it, you really should. The whole family, wife, three children, their governess and their pet monkey, kangaroo and pig were on board most of the time. It really is a magical story.

This is an outstanding image of the illuminations which welcomed the fleet. I've seen plenty, but I've not seen such a detailed view before.

A nice bit of colouring on the card but it must have been spectacular back on the day itself?
beachcomber australia said:
Swordscookie I think it would have been very impressive. There was also a massive firework display on the Harbour. Read All About It - including an engraving of the scene at the Town Hall (half an hour later!!) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1312681

I like the ghosts the lighting is giving off.

beachcomber australia Swordscookie Hey if they can knock the socks off a visiting American electrician in 1908 - imagine what they'll conjur up this weekend? :)
