We motored over to Rozelle Bay yesterday expecting to meet our cruising friends there. The old Glebe Island bridge is looking much the worse for wear. This car carriying ship looks to be jammed in the western channel, although, in reality, it is tied up right next to it.
You have to wonder why the replacement Anzac bridge was constructed with a 30 meter clearance, supposedly to allow commercial shipping to be able to pass under it. Leaving the old bridge in place like this certainly stops merchant shipping.
Until recently, the bridge had traffic lights but they seem to have been replaced by a sign giving right of way to outbound vessels. And, because Marimtime services is keenly policing the number of boats allowed to anchor in Rozelle Bay, we returned to Lane Cove River where the main cruising group had plenty of room to anchor
