More cars coming in

Those of a greenoid mentality would probably be having kittens after seeing this photo - another car carrier being docked under the ANZAC Bridge. I stopped and watched it come in for a few minutes this morning, thinking it was a view you don't see every day. A ship being worked in by a couple of tugs with the Harbour Bridge in the background.

The state government wants to shut this part of the port down and have all car imports sent somewhere else, which makes sense to me, but it will be a shame if the harbour stops being a working harbour and is left to be overrun by stinkboats and weekend sailors. You need the odd ship coming in every few hours to put the fear of God into the stinkboat drivers. Running a few over every year also makes sense.
