On our must do list for Liverpool was taking the ferry across the Mersey river. The song immortalised the idea and that same song played on loop as we stood in line waiting to board.
The ferry ride was fun. We spent the better part of an hour going on the full loop. Getting off the ferry where we had originally boarded.

The ferry was busy but not uncomfortable
The banks of the Mersey were varied. Ranging from rows of neat housing to industrial yards and docks. A few wind turbines stood proudly and in the distance I could see the cranes for loading and unloading the cargo ships.
Abandoned industrial buildings await revival
Where the new development stops, older builds await attention

I had fun taking photos trying to capture birds in flight.
Gordon River is part of a World Heritage site in Tasmania. The river is enclosed in thick forest and a beautiful location a short boat ride from Strahan.
