No surprises there. Before 9/11 the ship would have been open in areas for public viewing.

The worlds a stranger place now.

I work at the port of brisbane and can get pretty close to it, and its a pretty impressive bit of gear. I thought the car carrying ships were big. Its about 1/2 the size again.
I went to try and get in for a tour but you have to be on a guest list to do it. Security is about as tight as a fishes arsehole.

luggage pt = NASTY!!

It's currently anchored at luggage point.
About 2 kms up the road from where I work.
Went & had a squizz yesterday.... Impressive bit of gear.

To get there, just get on Kingsford Smith Drive & keep driving towards Moreton Bay 'till the road starts to turn crappy + follow the signs to luggage point.

Feel a bit sorry for the sailors though.... Luggage point is where they pump the $hit out!!

In another weird DatsunLand coincidence, the USS Kitty Hawk is based in Yokosuka, Japan where they have the annual car show (we have some pictures here somewhere).

Frenzy, or do you mean the one they fried in the box?

You couldn't get on the thing in Sydney, so I doubt they would have opened up in Brissy. Would be a major change of heart by the yanks.

It is possible though, we have air force open days. At the Richmond one though the US C17 was blocked off from the public, only Australian planes could be viewed in the flesh.

in regards to transformers..the fone that turned into a lil transformer i want that one! that was the coolest!

Anyone have a copy of yesterdays courier mail? Aparently there was information about how to get on board for a tour, cost was $25 per adult.
I live in hope.
Oh by the way bumble bee was way cooler than smarty pants megatron.

Yeah bummer we,re not allowed on board that,d be awesome, Still might go check it though.

No way, Megatron kicks ass!!!!
