News: SMX Sydney – Harbour Cruise

April 6, 2009

A lovely location for a cruise…

…a 3 hour cruise?  [Insert Gilligan's Island music here]

Friends (and imaginary friends) were keen to get started…



Dusk fell quickly at about 7pm – Luna Park was a fantastic venue for the conference – the suggestion to find a sponsor for the Dodgem Cars for next year is heartily supported!

The evening was a balmy 23º, with light easterly wind, and views to die for…



The internationals and the SMX crew pose for one final group shot…  and by ‘pose’, I mean ‘randomly gathering in the one location’…


The amber ale kept conversations flowing…


Did anyone save the prawns for the worker bees…?   Nooo!



The Opera House darkened the night before another Sydney blockout – coincidence?



Barry Smyth and Rand Fishkin finally have their drinks ‘under the bridge’, as originally advertised, but changed to the Harbour Cruise at the last minute.

OK, it’s getting pitch black now – my shots are what a serious photographer would call ‘inadequate’ and hack photographer would call ‘modern art’!

Ah – the ‘Pacific Pearl’. It wasn’t the ‘S.S. Minnow’ after all…

…and here endeth the photos: from Circular Quay, looking through the Harbour Bridge, across to Luna Park, where SMX will no doubt return in 2010. See you all there!

    Well done on the photos. It was a sensational finish to a sensational couple of days. (whether wise). I’m glad the internationals got to see something really beautiful. Well done again.

    I think they were great shots considering it was dark and the subjects were half drunk, lol.
