We are due to dock at 10.30pm tonight and the captain was advised that immigration would come aboard at 10am tomorrow to clear us. The day started calm but quickly became chilly, windy and rainy. At lunchtime we saw hundreds of birds overtaking the ship going west. We presumed they were shearwaters heading for Tasmania.
By 2pm the sky was clearing and the white caps were disappearing so at 3.30 we took a last stroll to the focsle. We looked for land and smelled the air for eucalyptus but we were still well away from Sydney.
At tea time we started to see other ships and then watched our last sunset over the sea.
By 9pm we could see the coastal lights. We watched eagerly as the ship was piloted through the heads at Botany Bay and drifted into the dock at 11.30pm.
