All the pretty things #8

It's been a week dedicated to all things naval as Australia commemorated the centennial anniversary of its fleet. Naturally, we couldn’t miss this one in a hundred year event, and so we've spent most of this week enjoying the celebrations.
On Friday, we watched as a procession of over forty warships from around the world sailed into the harbour. Coupled with the sixteen or so tall ships that arrived on Thursday, there's no denying the harbour has been an even busier place than usual...




Saturday was the big day for festivities, with a ceremonial fleet review and an afternoon of spectacular aerial displays...






The day was topped off with a breathtaking light show and fireworks display, depicting the past 100 years of Australian naval history. If you haven't watched the fireworks yet, here's a recap, it's well worth a peek...
But we couldn't finish a week of maritime festivities without taking to the water ourselves. So today, we spent the afternoon paddle boarding Narrabeen lagoon and hanging out with these little guys...
