THE good folk of Newcastle will have, or maybe not, heard that the state government is currently casting its net for a location for a third overseas cruise terminal somewhere along the NSW coast.
To accommodate the newer and larger ships it must be located on the coastal side of the Sydney Harbour bridge as they will not fit under it. As it is not in the far distant past a decent terminal was promised for our area, surely we should have a good chance this time. With our wall to wall federal and state government reps and ministers lobbying for us, one would think it could be a foregone conclusion this one is ours.
