ANZac bridge to HMB Endeavour on electric bike

This was a google earth vid to be placed on the ANZac Bridge Sydney for my brother. it was in the time of the world summit conference and Sydney was being placed as a no-go area. The roads were blocked and huge baricades were put up. It baffled the locals as there was no intention to mob the world leaders. Other sites deal with that issue. My vid is just to show a ship.
A copy of the ship that Captain James Cook sailed by Sydney Cove in 1770.
We had built modles of it as boys and knew evry plank.
There is a cameo apearance of the James Craig barque in the last quarter.

Filmed from a wobbly camera swinging freely. I will find a smoother way somehow.
On an electric bike charged from solar bateries. The black thing in the foreground is my gloves on the front carier. I should get a glove box.

PS Bush left after a week, the government changed and the city is a nice place again. They let us back in.

The same place today was packed with pedestrians. The pope was in town and you couldn't move for people.

I guess he packs a bigger crowd than Bush.

Also the government here has changed and the mood has lifted. Its lightened up a lot with less paranoia.

Nice video, it was pretty eerie to see the lack of people around. I'll have to post a little something from our Harbour to share.
