Caltex Kurnell & Caltex Sydney

Caltex Kurnell & Caltex Sydney

Motor tankers CALTEX KURNELL (4190gt) left, CALTEX SYDNEY (3988gt) right. CALTEX KURNELL built 1965 as OLAU HOG, 1967 renamed CALTEX KURNELL, 1976 sold and renamed NORDBORG. CALTEX SYDNEY built 1963 as WIDAN. These two small tankers along with similar CALTEX PORT KEMBLA (3989gt) served the east coast of Australia from late 1960s till mid 1970s. Where was this photo taken? Maybe Caltex Australia's Kurnell oil refinery, Botany Bay in late 1960s/early 70s? I can remember them as a kid looking out bedroom window.

No 1 and No 2 berths Kurnell. I would'nt mind a dollar for every Ships name painted on the piers and plylons on that jetty many thousands I would think.
