This pretty much epitomises Aussies and their love for the water. Approximately 90% of the population lives on the coastal fringe. Come rain, hail or shine, our beaches are usually filled with either surfers, boarders, or just folk swimming between the flags. This shot was taken in the middle of winter on a day when the surf was pounding in.
Hydrofoils were first introduced on Sydney Harbour way back in January 1965 and operated between Circular Quay and Manly. They were a well-known and popular feature of the Harbour in those days and the trip took 15 minutes. This service finally finished up in March 1991 when the NSW State Transit Authority replaced these vessels with the jetcats - which now of course also no longer operate.
These photos depict one trip from Circular Quay to Manly Wharf aboard the hydrofoil Dee Why. It's a weekday afternoon in Winter and the weather is fine and clear.
The photos - 38 in total - were all taken on the one full roll of colour transparency film (Kodak Ektachrome I think in this particular case), and would have all been taken within 15 or so minutes of one another. They record the one single trip to Manly and are included here complete and unabridged.
As Dee Why approaches Manly Wharf, it turns out the hydrofoil Fairlight is still alongside, and we thus have to wait a minute or two for her to depart. Fairlight then reverses out of the way at an unusual angle in order to allow us to come in to the hydrofoil pontoon and dock.

We've had a decrease in swell, but the girls are incredible at what they do and I'm sure they'll be able to put on a great show today. I'll be getting in the water later in the day for the celebrity challenge, and the Nikon Expression Session." .Manuel defeated Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) in the quarterfinals and Conlogue defeated Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) also in the quarterfinals.
