HMAS ANZAC returned to Australia on 24 Nov 2001 after a 5-month deployment in the Arabian Gulf. HMAS Sydney with a crew of 227 on board, departed from Darwin, in the Northern Territory, on 31 October 2001 to replace ANZAC in the Persian Gulf. The watercolour depicts HMAS Sydney drawing away from the Stokes Hill Wharf (East) with her crew on deck. In the foreground a naval band plays, the sharp white of their uniform contrasting with the turbulent skies in the background. The works is particularly significant in that it documents Australia's ongoing involvement in the Persian Gulf and verifies the commitment of the Australian government to support UN sanctions against Iraq and the US-led activities in the region.
