Up


Sydney is the site for Australia's National Maritime Museum. Besides the fairly good displays inside the museum, they have several nice ships on display, including HMAS Vampire, HMS Onslow (the submarine), Carpentaria (a lightship), and the James Craig. Also on hand nearby is the replica of HMS Bounty which was built for the Mel Gibson film, Mutiny on the Bounty.
