I didn't know about the Footscray to Caulfield proposal - just that some people in Footscray were going to be bought out and then they weren't. Well, that proposal sounds like a plan.<br />Can't comment about tides but your point about the harbour being sheltered and so reducing risk is a good one, and quite reassuring.FruitCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660225514077942415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523157134200402843.post-65192227985169569712011-10-19T10:34:57.910+11:002011-10-19T10:34:57.910+11:00Rail is the only sensible freight transport option...Rail is the only sensible freight transport option from Westernport. If the freight has to go to the western suburbs, then provision could be made for the train to use the proposed Footscray to Caulfield underground train. Wouldn't the tidal action in the bay work like anywhere else, that is push oil in onto the shore but also pull a lot out into Bass Strait. Regardless, Phillip Island will cop it very badly. But being a sheltered harbour much reduces the likelihood of a spill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523157134200402843.post-88212462886656147992011-10-19T09:30:35.664+11:002011-10-19T09:30:35.664+11:00Hi Dina, I wasn't burned because the coffee ha...Hi Dina, I wasn't burned because the coffee had just got to the right temperature for drinking before I knocked it. I did have a good day, thank you. There's a young woman at work who studies at the Frankston TAFE twice a week, and not only did she put me onto the right platform for an early express train, I had someone to chat to along the way.<br />Until I mentioned the new port expansions I hadn't given much thought to how close Phillip Island is to all this activity. My initial reaction was 'oh goody, more work in this area'. When I took a good look at Westernport Bay on Google Maps it suddenly hit me just how sheltered the bay is and how impossible it would be to clean up the area. It's one of the very few places anywhere that people can see the fairy penguins coming ashore to feed their young, and if any spill happened it would be an enormous tragedy- not just for the birds but for the people of the world.FruitCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660225514077942415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523157134200402843.post-74606858130776947232011-10-19T04:28:55.827+11:002011-10-19T04:28:55.827+11:00That was nice of Starbucks.

That can't easily be cleaned up with a paper towel.Dina Roberts https://www.blogger.com/profile/05558115658079175456noreply@blogger.com
