Here comes something big

Five and a half thousand sailors arrived in Sydney yesterday aboard the USS KittyHawk aircraft carrier.




Despite attempts at avoiding congestion, the roads around the harbour were at gridlock just as they were on a previous visit by a big ship.

The ship is berthed (docked?) at the naval base in Wooloomooloo. I kid you not. There really is a place called Wooloomooloo and the only reason I dont live there is that since arriving here, i still cant say it after a few pints.

What in Gods name am I going to do with 5500 sailors?

I thought I might pop down to Woolymewotsit for a few beers after work. After all, the PM boarded the ship yesterday and said that they would find Sydney "Warm and welcoming."

Hello sailor



All for one and one for all.....that's my motto. Wish me luck !
