What a great day! Last Sunday was Australia Day in Cobh. The Dawn Princess arrived early in the morning with a load of 'Aussies.' This was their 60th day at sea as part of a 104 day World cruise that began in Sydney, Australia on 25th May 2011. Well actually there were a few Kiwi's amongst them; 400 to be exact but they were outnumbered by the Aussies who had 1500 in number.
Well they couldn't have got a better welcome, the Cobhites threw a party 'Cobh' style and there was a real carnival atmosphere around the town all day. The Aussies' seemed to have enjoyed it. Here are three different accounts of the day from passengers aboard the cruise liner:
Even the Australian ambassador got into the swing of things. He was earlier at a civic reception in his honour at the Town Hall, and took tours of Spike Island and the Titanic Trail.
Cobh Confraternity Band gave the Dawn Princess a good send off; click here to have a look.

They were set with mortar and sealed; however, we have six different deck areas with them as flooring and several of the decks have sections of saltillo tiles that have cracked and/or eroded. Because of the large surface areas (over six different decks), I'm looking for a cost-effective surface alternative to removing all of the tiles across six decks.. Marina docks
