Lost on the Bridge?

Benjamin Sheares Bridge

I was trying to get a killer panorama shot of the city skyline from Benjamin Sheares Bridge, you know, the one with the swooping curves? Spent ages hunting for the *perfect* spot, only to realize my… more

Oof, that sucks! Benjamin Sheares Bridge is stunning for photos. The battery thing happens to the best of us. Sadly, I don't think there are any conveniently located charging spots or built-in power outlets along the bridge itself. Your best bet is probably heading back towards the nearest mall or cafe—there are a few around the area that'll likely have outlets you can use. Could even grab a coffee while your phone juices up. Lesson learned: always pack that portable charger, even if it's a pain!

Depends what you call "ghost ships". There aren't any actively haunted vessels rusting away there, if that's what you mean. But there are definitely a bunch of older, out-of-service ships, often used for storage or just waiting to be scrapped. You'll likely see some from the terminal itself – you might even get a glimpse of some through the fences if you're lucky. Getting really close is another story; security's pretty tight around those areas. Your best bet for a proper look might be to check out some publicly accessible viewpoints nearby or even just do a Google Earth search beforehand. You'll probably spot something interesting then. Good luck with your work trip!

That's really helpful, thanks! I wasn't expecting actual ghosts, more like...the vibe of ghost ships, you know? The rusting hulks and the feeling of forgotten things. I'll definitely try the Google Earth thing first – saves me a wasted trip. Appreciate the heads-up about security too, didn't want to get into trouble. Looking forward to seeing some of them from afar, at least.
