The Queen Victoria dock at the Sydney International Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay.  From this angle she appears to dwarf the Harbour Bridge.  The funnel on the Queen Victoria won’t fit under the bridge by about 20 feet.

The QE2 docked at the Garden Island Naval Base in Sydney while the Queen Victoria was berthed at the Sydney International Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay.  This trip marked the QE2’s last visit to Sydney, exactly 30 years after her first visit, and the first visit to Sydney Harbour by the Queen Victoria.
