Debsta Posted October 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2011 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-10-03/cruise-liner-cancelled/3206606/?site=southeastnsw§ion=news Weather cancels cruise liner’s Eden visit Updated October 03, 2011 10:51:38 Plans for a big cruise liner to anchor off the New South Wales far south coast have been cancelled. The Dutch-owner Volendam was due to arrive off Eden's Twofold Bay about 7am (AESDT). It was hoped the 1,400 passengers would boost the town's economy. But Cruise Eden's Peter Stransfield says there was a sudden change of plans. “The Volendam was coming direct from Noumea to Eden before it headed off to Sydney,” He said. “But there's been some very bad weather between Australia and Noumea which meant that they would be very, very delayed. “They weren't going to get into Eden until 2pm if they continued so they decided in those conditions that they would go direct to Sydney.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
