MS Sandnes in Wollondilly Fjord.

A beautiful Autumn day, not a breath of wind, just the ideal conditions to get my scratchbuilt 1-72 scale model ship out on the water. It is a model of the preserved Norwegian "night route" ship, MS Sandnes, which used to sail from Sandnes/Stavanger to Bergen overnight and return the next night. The keel was laid in 1949, launched in 1950. It is now preserved in Stavanger, Norway, as a working ship available for charter and cruises.

 

Here it is seen on the Wollondilly River, below Marsden's Weir in Goulburn, which sadly is the only stretch of water anywhere around Goulburn where one can sail a model ship, without being snagged in water weed.
