mrmoshe Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) GOOOOOOOOOOOONSKIS Under water. cheers james Sure has. Wild weather sinks Cremorne Point Wharf Saturday Jun 9 13:32 AEST A wharf has collapsed and more than 12 boats have run aground in wild weather lashing Sydney Harbour. NSW Maritime chief executive Chris Oxenbould said more than a dozen vessels had broken free of their moorings in high winds and torrential rain and had run aground on beaches and in bays. "More than 30 vessels have required towing since the gale-force conditions began yesterday," he said on Saturday. "The Cremorne Point Wharf has also collapsed and partially sunk overnight. "A contractor is currently alongside assessing the damage and planning a recovery." Mr Oxenbould said it was too early to indicate what potential damage the vessels may have caused. He said weather conditions could further deteriorate with a front expected to come through on Saturday afternoon. "People need to be advised that if they're in doubt of the integrity of their mooring - especially in those bays and coves that are exposed to these current conditions - then they should check their vessel, when conditions are safe for them to do so," Mr Oxenbould said. The majority of problems with moorings had been at east-facing locations at Abbotsford, Mosman, Balmoral, Manly, North Harbour, Little Sirius Cove, Shell Cove and Neutral Bay. Meanwhile, Sydney ferry services remain severely disrupted. The Manly Ferry and Jetcat services were cancelled again on Saturday due to dangerous conditions at Manly wharf and will be replaced by buses, a Sydney Ferries spokesman said. Passengers are advised to go to Old Cremorne wharf until Cremorne Point wharf is assessed for damage. The spokesman encouraged the public to call the Transport Information line before attempting to catch ferries as services were constantly changing due to the unpredictable weather.

james1990 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'd be putting my money on one of the old jettys. I havn't got any money I'd really love to get into the cremorne wharf with some sp's now, pull some thumper bream out and probably a few kings. would they have closed the area off? like applied restricitions for the wreckage. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
