Craig HillNo more Pasha, but the Kitty Hawk is coming

So the bulk carrier that gave Newcastle an accidental tourist attraction is no longer in the place it had made home on Newcastle's Nobby's Beach. I'm sure this is pleasing to many locals sick of the amount of people that have poured into the steel city from out of town, but those who were making a buck out of visitors and those who hadn't gotten a chance to see it won't be as happy. Nonetheless, it is gone and Newcastle goes back to being a nice, relatively quiet coastal city.
The attention will turn to Sydney this weekend with a fleet of US Military ships coming into Sydney. From Thursday to Sydney these ships will enter Sydney Harbour, with the highlight supposedly being the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, which is huge, by all reports.
There is a fear from some quarters that the same problems with Sydney transport will be encountered as when the QE2 and the Queen Mary came in earlier in the year. Personally, I don't think there will be the same amount of interest because even though it will be school holidays, Australia doesn't quite have the same connection to US military ships as they do with the cruise ships that were named after the Royals. Leave your car at home all the same though.
