Australian Wooden Boat Festival

Technorati Tags: ,,

After wandering through the markets we decided to have look at some of the boats at the docks for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. Then we had a great seafood meal at one of the restaurants on the docks.

 Light rain doesn't stop usIt was still sprinkling a bit, but that doesn’t stop determined tourists having a wander on the docks.

 

Here are a few of the docked wooden boats.

  2. A better place of the Australian Wooden boat festival is waiting for you. You can measure a great idea here with the Hobart boats and the ships. You can make your journey with the http://www.tripindicator.com/travel/destination/top-sydney-city-day-tours-hop-on-hop-off-sightseeing-tour-blue-mountains-opera-house/ and get the seafood meal in the restaurant. On the wooden docks you can get the wooden boats here.
