Ocean liner the Queen Mary II has arrived in Sydney Harbour, Australia. The massive 150,000 tonne ship is half-way through her first ever trip, called a maiden voyage.
It's the largest ship to ever visit Australia. It's even too big to pass under the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge!
Lots of people turned out to watch the Queen Mary make her way up the harbour.
The huge liner is 23-storeys high and can carry up to 3,000 passengers. She was greeted by a flotilla of yachts, motor launches and even kayaks.
Here's the ship next to the Sydney Opera House. Onboard there are 15 restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a ballroom, a theatre and a planetarium.
The liner is visiting Sydney at the same time as her sister ship, the Queen Elizabeth 2, which arrives later on Tuesday.
