|
|
Arrived in Sydney around 1830. Semua yang lain pakat nak relax dalam bilik after half day in a bus. Me??? Apa lagi, merayau la! Ajak roomate (Huong from Vietnam) dgn mamat Iran yg duduk sebelah dalam bas. Pegi reception minta map then, dari Pitt St kitaorg jalan kaki ke Darling Harbour. On the way, singgah McD for dinner. For the first time in my life, I ate McD for dinner *sigh*
Memamg rezeki kitaorang malam tuh agaknya. Sampai je kat Darling Harbour ada mamat ni buat extreme show. Memang best!!!

HMAS Onslow= Her Majesty Australian Ship Onslow. 1st time tengok submarine live! Memang giler mengujakan! Radin (mamat Iran) tuh plak byk info pasal navy ship nie. Lagi la seronok dok mendengar dia kasi explanation :-D
HMAS Onslow (S-60), named after an Australian river whose name in turn was derived from a pioneering family famous in early Australian history (the town of Onslow in Western Australia was also named after a family member), was an Oberon-class submarine laid down by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Greenock in Scotland on 26 May 1967. On 17 July 1968, she was slightly damaged by fire, delaying her launch until 3 December 1968. Onlsow commissioned on 22 December 1969 and served in the 1st Submarine Squadron, based at HMAS Platypus at Neutral Bay in Sydney.
HMAS Onslow paid off 29 March 1999 and is preserved at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour in Sydney.source: wikipedia
