It will be sad to see her go as I saw her every week in Sydney but they got a great price for her.

[john strange]

Free enterprise saw her demise, and yes they made a profit on it. What is happening there is a repeat of the late sixties/early seventies when air travel became cheap enough for the masses to use. Cheap quick air travel has taken about 70% of her regular customers. For now at least the Melbourne run will continue, but for how long?

Another great sight will be missing from Sidney harbour waters I was on holiday there in April 2004 and managed to take a great photo of her. The mighty dollar rules
