Fred Hollows
This is the 'Fred Hollows' ferry, a Sydney Ferries catamaran, built by 'Incat' in Hobart, Tasmania.
It is arriving at the McMahon's Point Wharf, on Lavender Bay (Sydney harbour).
Photographed near sunset with my Canon EOS 5D Mk IV, with the Canon 24-105mm lens.
This ferry is dedicated to the memory of Fred Hollows who was a gifted ophthalmologist. He was born in New Zealand but, after studying in the UK, came to Australia where he was named 'Australian of the Year' in 1990.
He was committed to restoring the sight of people in Australia, Nepal, Eritrea (in Africa) and Vietnam, et.al., most especially the disadvantaged and/or indigenous people of those countries. He gave up so much of his time and money to help people gain or re-gain their sight.
Interestingly he was a member of the Communist Party in the 1950s. He sadly died at the age of only 63, in 1993, of renal cancer.
