Pelajaran 78 – Cerita dari Australia Chris dan Iwan berlibur

This week our broadcast will be different. We’ll go with Chris and Iwan on a couple of visits. They’re on holidays, and they’ve decided to go and find out about Sydney Harbour (= Pelabuhan Sydney). First, they visit the Maritime Services Board (= Departemen Perhubungan Laut); then they go to Fort Denison. This is a small island with a fort (= benteng) in the middle of the harbour. Later, they visit the Water Police (= Polisi Laut), and go out with them on a harbour patrol (= patroli pelabuhan). After lunch, they visit the Sydney Opera House (= Gedung Opera Sydney).

CHRIS AND IWAN DECIDE TO FIND OUT ABOUT SYDNEY HARBOUR

CHRIS: What’ll we do today, Iwan? I’d like to do something really interesting.

IWAN: So would I. What about a trip on the harbour?

CHRIS: That isn’t very interesting. The harbour’s just a lot of water with a bridge across it.

IWAN: It’s a very famous bridge, though. When did they build it?

CHRIS: I’m not sure.

IWAN: By the way, Chris, who looks after all the ships in the harbour? You know, who says when the ships can enter the harbour, and who tells them where to go?

CHRIS: I don’t know. I think it’s the Maritime Services Board . . . or something.

IWAN: Who discovered Sydney Harbour, anyway?

CHRIS: I can answer that. Captain Cook passed by the harbour in 1770, but he didn’t sail into it. Captain Arthur Phillip discovered it in 1788. He had eleven ships. He came from England, you know. He really started Sydney. He thought the harbour was great.

IWAN: So do I. Chris, could we spend a day finding out about the harbour? Could we find out something about it?

CHRIS: Mmmm. Yes! That’s a good idea. You know, Iwan, I’ve lived in Sydney all my life and I don’t know much about the harbour. Let’s go! Let’s find out what really goes on around the harbour!

THE MAN FROM THE MARITIME SERVICES BOARD TELLS THEM A BIT ABOUT THE BOARD

MAN: All ships have to pay money to come into the harbour. And they have to pay to use the wharves.

CHRIS: Do they pay anything for the cargo?

MAN: Oh, yes. The shipping companies have to pay per tonne of cargo. And the Board charges rates for other things too.

CHRIS: What about keeping the harbour clean? Who looks after that?

MAN: The Board does that too. We check on oil pollution and we have small rubbish boats on the harbour. We collect rubbish from the shores and take it away. We also have special fire-fighting boats. Sometimes there are fires on the wharves, or on a ship.

IWAN: What about the tides? Who measures the high and low tides every day?

MAN: We measure the tides at Fort Denison.

IWAN: Is that the island near the bridge? It’s got an old stone building on it, hasn’t it?

MAN: Yes, that’s right. That’s Fort Denison. Have you ever been there, Chris?

THEY GO OUT ON A PATROL WITH THE WATER POLICE

SERGEANT: This is a regular patrol of the harbour. We’ll go up around the wharves first. When we go on a patrol like this, we look at all the ships and the wharves.

CHRIS: What are you looking for?

SERGEANT: We just look to make sure everything’s O.K. Sometimes there’s a fire on a wharf or on a boat and we have to tell the Maritime Services Board. When there’s an accident on the water, we have to help. Sometimes we have a diver with us, but we don’t need one today.

IWAN: What do the divers do?

SERGEANT: Oh . . . they look for things under the water . . . stolen cars . . . dead bodies.

IWAN: Dead bodies!

SERGEANT: That’s right. People fall into the water or sometimes they jump in. Or perhaps someone murders them and throws the body in the water.

CHRIS: And ballet?

GUIDE: Yes, we have ballet. And lots of people just come here to walk around and look at the building and the harbour.

CHRIS: I’m interested in the roof . . . the sails.

GUIDE: They’re beautiful, aren’t they?

CHRIS: Yes, they are. But I’m interested in how they built them. There were big engineering problems, weren’t there?

GUIDE: Yes, there were. It was very complicated. You can buy a small book at the shop. It will tell you about the roof.

GUIDE: Yes, we’re going there now. The shop sells books about the Opera House and all sorts of souvenirs.
