Monday 21st September 2010:Well we are off to a flying start to the new season of Cruise ship visits to Burnie with the first being the Dawn Princess seen above on the horizon at dawn 6:00am Australian EST. believed to be carrying in excess of 2000 passengers and 700 plus crew.
The City and its volunteers were ready, willing, and able to accommodate them all with information on what to do during their 8 hour stay.
Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions bringing in the ship became impossible and she went out to sea to continue her trip to Hobart at 8:00am.
Regretabley, it was Burnie's lost opportunity.
