What a pity is Sydney now no longer a working port (harbour ). The pollies
have really buggered up the character of the city and the port. They seem
to be more keen on wasting $14 on some car race around Homebush Park. We
already have world class race facilities at Eastern Creek. I could carry
on but I'm afraid I can't be bothered. There a much more pleasant venues
to visit in our great country!

People who've paid a million plus dollars for a view of Sydney harbour like
to watch cargo ships sail up the harbour - who doesn't?.

The problem is, once these ships are tied up to a wharf which will be close
to residentual areas the problems start. Loading, unloading and maintenance
of a ship can be a noisy. Like locals near airports, people love to complain
about noise pollution.

Most ships masters have enough problems to worry about let alone receiving a
summons to appear in court because some deckhand dropped a shifter
(adjustable spanner) on the steel deck of a ship at 3am in the morning and
awoke the whole neighbourhood.
