Description:

Shot taken on: 07/07/08

Seen here making a rare visit to Tasmania, bethed at Macquaire Wharf no 4 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia where she loaded 15,000t of Zinc Blocks. She used to visit Hobart frequently before the Austral Asia Line withdrew is service from Hobart because of a change in shipping arrangment for the Zinc Blocks from the Zinifex/Nystar Plant. How ever since that withdrawal she has still come down to Hobart once or twice a year. This trip was even more unique as she visit 2 Tasmanian ports on the one trip, having visited Bell Bay in Northern Tasmania first and also as this was one of the biggest shipments of Zinc Blocks to be shipped out in the History of the Zinc Works in a single voyage from either the Risdon Wharf or the Hobart Wharfs.
