The examination vessel, Sydney Heads
Description
Patrolling across Sydney Heads, the small motor Examination Vessel "Falie" rolls in the Pacific swell, while an interstate freighter, with derricks rigged for launching paravanes, puts to sea. From the foreshore, searchlights carry out exercises. In the background are the lights of Watson's Bay, Sydney.
