Did the run (passenger) from Rose Bay to Lord Howe Is. in one - think it
might have been EBX but would have to check my old photos.
The "regulars" were easily spotted, settling down immediately to games of
cards (downstairs).
Made the mistake of doing the return trip upstairs - which was the start of
my industrial deafness :-)

Other remembered points are the acceleration at the start of the t/o run and
the size of the lagoon at LHI - there wasn't much of it that wasn't used on
the t/o run...
