Sailing, Sailing Over The Ocean Blue...

The ferry, the MM JJ Farnsworth took passengers across Point Nepean from Sorrento to Queenscliff and back. As you entered the heads and went through "The Rip" it could be quite rough - fortunately I have a stomach like lead.

The little boat no longer makes the journey, now only the larger car and passenger ferry makes the trip.

The Happy Wanderer

I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.

Chorus:
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come! Join my happy song!"

I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev'ry green wood tree.

High overhead, the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home
But just like me, they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.

Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky!
