Nathan, Kirra and I hadnt anticipated cruising round Sydney harbour on Australia day as we were in the city originally so Nathan and Kirra could look at a few places to live and then we walked around the rocks and Circular Quay to check out the festivities of our national holiday, not that there was much in way of entertainment aside from endless performances on various stages across the rocks and CQ. A plane had wrote "sorry" in the sky and i wasnt sure if it was sincere or a mock joke.

We had stumbled across Vagabond crusies by the friendly sales guy enticing us to take a cruise. i immediately deemed it a costly affair until nathan found out it was only $30pp and included coffee and cake. Then Nathan proceeded to pay for the 3 of us to take the cruise.

as there was about an hour til the cruise left we decided to get drinks at Opera Bar and feeling like a cocktail i decided to go for what was called a "Shady Lady" and Kirra after reading its contents ordered one too ahoy
ahoy
 . Unfortunately the drink sounded nicer than it tasted- it was toxic!!! 2 of these Shady Lady's would certaintly see to that you would have a shady morning.

The Catamaran was considerably big and we planted ourselves outside, on the upper deck. We ordered ourselves frozen cocktails..which tasted slightly wrong for some reason - far too sweet. The carrot cake was too die for though and i got myself 2nd and 3rd helpings of it.

The cruise went past Sydney Opera House, Fort Denison , Shark Island, Watson's Bay and into Middle Harbour before turning around and making its way back into Sydney Harbour via Taronga Zoo, Luna Park etc . It was aboard this Vagabond cruise i discovered Sydney has a nudist beach which we all found out about as we cruised right past it. I was momentarily in shock to see nude people waving at us on this tiny , seemingly secluded beach. who knew Sydney had a nudist beach - apparently everyone but me.....lol
The cruise on Sydney Harbour ended up being the best Australia Day i've had so far
