From Fremantle, have no idea what type of vessel this is, almost looks like a work in progress. :?

That could be a live stock carrier Lena. There is a big trade in shipping live sheep off to Middle East so they can be freshly "killed" A very contentious trade.......

Thanks David. :D Sounds a bit dubious, but I guess there are many types of trade that fit that description.

I thought it might be a new cruise ship, just think how many balcony cabins you could get on a ship that shape. :lol:

Yes, they are my children, Jackie :D That picture was taken "above" the clouds and we couldn't see anything below :? But it was quite an experience driving "through" the clouds on those very steep and winding roads :shock: and come out on a sunny mountaintop :lol:
