    Here's an historical footnote: on the shipping board (brief view) was RUNIC, Shaw Saville. The film was made in 1961. However, on 19 February the RUNIC struck and became marooned on Middleton Reef while heading trans Tasman, bound for Wellington, NZ. She never left the reef. So that Melbourne visit was her final visit there. Her departure port on that fateful voyage was Brisbane, Queensland.

    The woman ringing for a ship arrival time. Back when we used to read newspapers, that information was always published.

      Yes, I remember the "women" ringing the ship that had just tied up at the sugar wharf in Yarraville asking if any crew wanted a "chat". No takers so back into the waiting taxi and gone to the next arrival.

    Amazing the difference containerisation had made…

    Ah, the days when we actually owned and operated our own ships!

      Not many Australian ships there, even then. As a former British merchant naval person in the 60s, we always envied the luxurious conditions we thought the Ossies had on their ships!

    'Dock Head'. A tongue must have been planted firmly in the cheek of whoever created that title.

    Melbourne actually used to be cool before it became a hipster Paradise
