That's the spirit! Ships need recharging too...
No prizes for guessing where this Ferry is birthed. (Devonport)
She's being restocked and cleaned, then loaded with semi trailers, cars, campers, and passengers, for the night sailing to Melbourne.
There are two like this that usually pass each other about 2:30 am in the middle of Bass Strait on opposing sailings.

It will cost you about $120 AU to sit in a lay back recliner overnight or various style/ comfort level cabins for higher fees.
Cars cost $75 each way to bring, towing a van or trailer increases the fare a lot.

So, this is my photo for the week for the photography club, such as it is- taken from our car window while hurrying through traffic.

The ride quality of this ship is very good. You can be sitting in the restaurant or buffet area having a meal as she leaves and not notice any movement.
