Queen Mary 2 in Adelaide
Hi the Queen Mary 2 is docked at Outer Harbor today so if you are up that way might be worth a look.

Towering Queen Mary 2 sails into Adelaide - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Does anyone know if its sailing clock wise or anti clockwise round OZ?

Might be able to see it from the coast later when it leaves...

Is that the huge big one that looks like a floating block of flats? If so, we saw it off the Mornington Peninsula a few years back at night, all lit up - awesome sight!

Got to see this up close today. Fantastic for Adelaide that we now have her stopping here - great boost for tourism!

she probably departed late tonight, due to the fact all the roads where blocked with the volume of traffic going to see her and the volume of passengers trying to get on her.
Cracking idea with two small roads to the terminal

Outer harbour has been in a shadow all day long!

Great to see the big stuff come in, just another thing to add to everything happening in one month!

The news says that the passengers on a day trip to Adelaide today would have spent in the region of half a million $$$.
Thats got to be good for local business.

In 2012 she will be based in Australia for around 2 months sailing around Australia twice and calling into Adelaide twice. Having done 3 cruises myself, i'll be looking at sailing on her myself..
