Canberra's working harbour?

Looks like a port is going in at Acton – whats with all the containers on/near the futsal slab?

(Speaking of which, when’s the next international futsal tournament on there?)

This is sounding like it has the makings of a theme park. How bout an ersatz rough pub where public servants can pretend to be stevedores?

We need a lighthouse first…a really big one.

Stanhope can dock his Siev-X replica there.

Another monument to the follies of the S-hope government.

Superschools, superjails, superlibraries, a super Grassby, a not-so-super bus system, and now a super harbour. Where will it all end?

For true authenticity, the “harbour” needs yards full of shipping containers, lots of cranes, trucks thundering up and down the roads 24/7, some old wharfies pubs … all so the residents get that realistic “harbour” feeling.

Where is all the harbour traffic coming from …the yet to be announced Acton oil refinery and grain handling port?

Does it come complete with working harbour smell? That would increase the appeal.

It won’t be a working harbour until I see the Emma Maersk parked and awaiting cargo. Unfortunatly that might spoil the view for the ‘working class’ living in their ‘working harbour’.

pffft…who the hell are they kidding?

Simcity is the only place in Canberra you would need a harbour to protect our fleet of ships from the unforgiving waters of our blessed artificial lake.

what’s next? How about a underground rail link between Civic interchange and the airport. dumbasses.

Isn’t there some sort of ban on watercraft between the two bridges anyway? Even if it were established as an East Canberra Yacht Club, they couldn’t sail far, and they couldn’t have regattas with CYC, at least not without bringing the trailers in

Is Simon working with Crazy Chester these days?
If we get a dock then I think we also need a canal from the lake to Googong (soon to be re-named Lake Pru).

what a total waste of money. the new part of kingston is a bloody awful sterile mess anyway, much less adding a useless marina. How about some working, alternate public transport Simon? I like the light rail idea, not to mention the VFT

can’t wait to see the tankers lined up at the docks, maybe even the QE2

If only Canberrans were as easy to please as Sims… but at least natural disasters happen rather less frequently than they do in Corbell’s game-city. We may have fires, but at least there’s no hurricanes, major floods, earthquakes or attacks from Godzilla.

Still, this “harbour” idea is stupid. A light rail system would make much more sense. If that were implemented, one day we might rise to the status of a Megalopolis…
