Visiting cruise ships may be sent to Taronga Zoo

A BERTH for super cruise liners visiting Sydney will be built in Athol Bay, west of Bradley's Head and below Taronga Park Zoo, if the federal government adopts the recommendations of a review.
Thousands of people would have to be transferred to Circular Quay by watercraft for Customs processing or moved into the city using buses via the already clogged Military Road.
State government sources said Premier Barry O'Farrell would "strongly oppose'' the plan and continue to fight for access to Garden Island navy base.
Defence Minister Stephen Smith will today release the review by former top public servant Allan Hawke that also recommends Garden Island be used for cruise ships on an "ad hoc'' basis but said national security outweighed commercial considerations.
