  This event was particularly well documented. See also various other pages in the Sydney Mail of 16/4/1924 as well as this one - news.google.com/newspapers?id=eswzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=IZYDA...

  very nice colour sea. Great Black and white pictures.

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia It was indeed, and an all the more significant event considering it was Australia's first naval flagship. Stay tuned, more photographs from this event to come!

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It seems a particular shame that they didn't, she was Australia's first naval flagship after all.

  "The vessel is listing to starboard side, its mid-section close to the waterline." Don't you mean LISTING TO PORT ?

Funnels of the former HMAS AUSTRALIA I

• Antoine R said:

  Of course these funnels are not of HMAS Australia but of one of Australian light cruisers: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Adelaide. Unfortunately I can't say exactly which of them.

  Er, I think it's going to be too heavy for that cart ... ... !

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Hehe! Don't you just love the angle of the photo? You can just imagine Hood placing his camera on the ground in order to create a more imposing image of the size of the guns. :)
