Sadly, I was only on a ship in Sydney once, somewhere around 1981. I joined a bulk carrier at a new bulk coal loading berth at Balmain No1, just around the corner from the Opera House The vessel was there for considerably longer than planned as the bulk loader kept breaking (part of it collapsed at one stage prior to my joining.). Fortunately, those extra days allowed me to get up country to meet second cousins in Coffs Harbour and a Great Uncle and other second cousins in Woodenbong (pop 271 IIRC according to the sign entering the town).
I've been back a number of times since, but not via ship.
