One of the 5 anchors from the HMS Sirius at the Australian Maritime Museum, Sydney. Sirius was the flagship of the first fleet of convict transports to East Australia and was captained by Arthur Phillip - the penal settlements first Governor. During her life she circumvented the world until she was blown onto a reef and wrecked. Her untimely demise, left the fledgling colony with very little contact with the outside world: she had been the main supply ship traveling regularly, to and from South Africa, London and China.
A real cop-out today, this is a photo of the TV screen! It was the Great North Run today, I always love those pictures of the 'masses' all running. I wondered what a picture from the TV would look like, well here it is.
