The first cruise ship to use the temporary facilities at Barangaroo was the 'Pacific Jewel', coincidentally the last cruise ship to dock at the old terminal, at Darling Harbour Wharf 8.
I painted this and several other canvases on the wharf itself. I had to go through the X ray with all of my painting gear.
I forgot and left my palette knife in my trolley luggage, so I had a bit of explaining to do!

I made the most of my unprecedented access to areas usually forbidden to the public to paint the hidden side of the cruise ship experience- from the viewpoint of those who make it possible.
Soon the White Bay sheds will be demolished and replaced by the new cruise ship terminal, which will be built in about 2 years.
The Pyrmont wharves and the beige towers of Star City Casino are visible in the background to the left behind the tangle of ropes.
I spent a great deal of my time between about 1982 - 1996 painting all over Pyrmont, you can see more details at my Pyrmont page in this blog.
