Rare MicCanberra Posted March 14, 2016 #26 Share Posted March 14, 2016 That's the courier mail for you! I think you can only look at one or 2 stories per day before they want money from you. I can't even get back in myself.The story was from January 2016 and it looked promising. I think it was published here (CC) back then. I am hopeful.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinbadThePorter Posted March 16, 2016 #27 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The link only goes to the subscription page. But if it says it will go ahead, that would be good. This link should work: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/brisbane-bouyed-by-new-megacruise-ship-terminal-concept-20160212-gmsznk.html "Cruise ships more than 300 metres long with about 6000 passengers on board are one step closer to being able to drop anchor in Brisbane, with a new cruise ship terminal expected to be completed by 2019."

newbris Posted March 20, 2016 #29 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks for sharing OP. Re your comment about the train line being extended, unfortunately I think it is very unlikely. The all day demand would not be there to justify the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linanles Posted March 20, 2016 #30 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Someone had better have a word to Tom Tate the Re-elected Mayor of the Gold Coast. He has the Cruise Terminal on The Spit at the top of his to do list in today's Sunday Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbris Posted March 21, 2016 #31 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Someone had better have a word to Tom Tate the Re-elected Mayor of the Gold Coast. He has the Cruise Terminal on The Spit at the top of his to do list in today's Sunday Mail. I think it is on the ocean side, a pier, rather than in the spit itself. The state govt rejected the spit option. If it gets up it will only be a stop over port, whereas the new Brisbane port will be a full service deep water port that hosts, refuels, restocks etc the mega liners. It will provide a home port for large ships with easy access to the South Pacific and PNG/solomons areas. Each terminal will serve a different purpose.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted March 22, 2016 #32 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Dont overlook the fact that the cruise lines want you to spend money on board , rather than ashore, so any Gold Coast calls could be rather brief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
