Several years ago there was a proposal to build a cruise ship terminal here, as this is the best harbor in the area. There is not really much of a town here, and the area would be overwhelmed by large cruise ships.
After the government selected the winning developer for the $90 million USD development, the losing developer sued, the project was delayed, and then the worldwide recession occurred and the project is dead, at least for a while.
Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. This week we are showing photos of the recent total solar eclipse that we saw off the coast of Australia about 3 weeks ago. It was a spectacular sight.

I see lots of boats out there!
If they are going to land cruise ships there, they will need a lot of resources occupy the time of all those tourists.
A gorgeous vista, Dave. I would guess from your comments that you would prefer not to have a cruise ship port here. I think if I owned property there, I'd agree with you. The liabilities would probably outweigh the benefits.
The area would be completely transformed if a cruise ship terminal located here. Some would like it, some wouldn't. I don't have a vote on it.
