Any as you want. ;)

Well, as I promised, here comes the Paul Leclercq International Airport.





In this first picture we can see the eight terminals of the airport, part of the parkings, because de T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8 have underground parkings, the Intermodal Stations of bus, subway and taxi and the five runways and the taxiways.
The connexion between terminals are made by an internal web of subway, supplementary to the metro lines of  L1 Round St.-Paul Leclercq International and L5 Central Library-Paul Leclercq International.



The Terminal 1 (that in the reality it's little bit bigger), is the first terminal being built of the Paul Leclercq International Airport. In a first instance it supported every flight of the airport, such as nationals and internationals, but nowadays is reserved to the national flights and those international flights with a low transit. It was constructed between 1951 and 1956 (09/27 runway included, now 09C/27C). Since it was built there have been some many remodeling works, in 1991-1992 in its external look (to make it look like the new T2), and after in 1999-2000 when it was modified interiorly to fit it to its new functions of national flights terminal, wich it had take many years before.



This is the second terminal of the airport. After his construction between 1960 and 1966, the T1 took the function of arrivals terminal, and the T2 became the departs terminal, both of them for national and international flights. Nowadays, like the T1, this terminal is reserved for national and low transit international flights.
The T2 preservers its original aesthetic, but in 1998-1999 its interior was remodeled when its function changed with the construction of the big sisters of T1 and T2: the Terminals 3 and 4.





The terminals 3 and 4 were built at the same time between 1990 and 1997. Both of them were designed to support the heavy and growing request of international flights of the Paul Leclercq International Airport. Designed to shelter a great number of "jumbos", the three new runways (09L/27R, 18L/36R and 18R/36L) were built in consequence (and after the 09/27 runway was remodeled becoming 09R/27L for the moment). With all this things the capacity of the airport increased considerably, but soon the need of making the airport bigger was evident.



Those two terminals have space for 39 planes, six of them "jumbos". So the T5 and T6 are bigger than the T1 and T2 together and they are bigger than the T3 or T4, relieving considerably the passengers traffic saturation in the other four terminals.
This impressive terminal has two arms. In the T5 and T6 are the new headquarters of Fly Mosman and those terminals are for the exclusive use of the mosmite airline.





The air traffic in New Bordeaux was constantly growing and new airlines from other regions appeared, so soon was needed to enlarge the airport again. The T7 made up for this need. In it, small international flights, but with a high transit, arrive and deppart. With the construction of the T7 a new runway was built, the 09R/27L (the old 09R/27L became at last 09C/27C). However, the T7 cant handle big planes as the T3 or T4, and those terminals were getting small for the airport needs.




As the T7 was built for the small planes traffic, after the T8 was built for bigger planes. This one, is the most modern and advanced terminal of the airport, and it has the most advanced technologies of telemetry to monitoring the baggages, a fully automatized system of baggage distribution to their respective plane, a four stars hotel and a long etcetera. Without chance of doubt, is the terminal of the future.




Mosman, instead a important comercial focus, has a strong industry that grows every day, and the products manufactured and not consumed in New Bordeaux, had to be exported in any way. Most of this products get off of New Bordeaux in ship from the PCIE or from the Homebush Bay Harbor. But some of items are transported in planes, and those planes are loaded in the Freight Terminal A. The new bordeauxian courier company, GlobEx, has here its headquarters.



PlaneB, a enterprise from Cabo Azul that makes planes, has a production plant in New Bordeaux. Nowadays in this plant, are made some parts of the fuselage of the PlaneB Pl-2100 "Ecoliner" and of the PlaneB Pl-2200, such as some other pieces of those planes. In the picture we can see how the front section of a Pl-2100 "Ecoliner" is loaded into a Velluga to be transported to the main plant of PlaneB, were it will be assembled with the other pieces of the plane.

WOW!

How did I miss this for so long? Please forgive me for not commenting here before, Engorn. I apologize sincerely!

New Bordeaux is absolutely fantastic! The airport terminals, the port facilities--and that ski resort? That's one of the most creative things I've seen in quite some time.

It's been a pleasure admiring your work here, and I will be waiting eagerly to see what you have for us next!

Take care,

Dustin

After a long time without any update, here is another one.





The Jericho National Park is located on the west extreme of the Rushcutters Peninsula, in Shatam. Actually is the last the last redoubt of wild life in the peninsula and fortunately this place is is respected and venerated by all the mosmites. Most of the park flora is composed by western red-cedars and ferns, while among the fauna we can find moose, deers, rabbits, foxes, a great variety of birds, reptiles and insects, like the dun butterfly (cryssinea apophis), the typical butterfly of Mosman. The park is composed by the extreme of the Rushcutters Peninsula and Rockwood Island. The park is a little tease of how was the peninsula, and most of New Bordeaux, before the colonization: a great western red-cedar forest, from Jericho Point to the highest point of the Mount Atmadja.
The access for humans is free but sleeping is allowed only in the few refuges of the park, whereas making fire is completely forbidden all around the park. Despite a road that goes through the park, the traffic is very restricted and is nearly used only for emergency vehicles or for supplies.



At the entrance of the park we can find a little information hut that serves as park museum and snack bar for visitors. Also there is the park-guard post and al little camping where visitors can spend the night. This camping, with the refuges of the park, is the only place where is allowed to spend the night.



One of the main attractions of the park are the Carrion Rocks, a three rocks set located next to the sea. Those rocks show a mineral composition completely different to the rest of the rocks of New Bordeaux. This fact, added to the estrange mushroom form of the rocks, make the Carrion Rocks a complete mystery for hundreds of geologists that they are studying the for decades. Some mosmites, mostly the sensationalists ones and enthusiasts of paranormal things, declare that the rocks were put there by "intelligent beings of the outside".
Next to the Carrion Rocks there is a jetty to connect the peninsula with the Rockwood Island. Today, instead of being used to its initial purpose is used to enter on the park by those that want arrive sailing instead walking to visit the Carrion Rocks.



On Rockwood Island there is another jetty to tie up the boats of those who arrive from the jetty of the Carrion Rocks. On this island we can find one of the two refuges of the park. Anyway, this is the most virgin part of the park since there is no road on the island.

oh I look in the inactive MDs section every once in a while. But it's full with MDs. I would never look at every MD that's around.  :D

Bicentennial Park was inaugurated on 1995 to commemorate the second centenary of the region foundation as the Centennial Park was built for the first centenary. Obviously inspired on New Yorks Central Park, Bicentennial Park has 36 hectares opposite the 341 hectares of the new yorker park. The common components of both parks are the Reservoir (wich takes the name directly from the Central Parks Reservoir), the zoo, the sportive installations, a museum and etc., but in a smaller scale.



The Reservoir is a pond built to supply the city in case of lack of water. It's filled with water that cames from Mount Atmadja, conducted by pipes and then the water gets stagnant on it. Although there is a river that crosses the park, it has not current. Actually is a fake river and the pond drainpipe it's at the bottom of the pond, which is the way to supply the city with water. Actually, with the current number of inhabitants the water capacity of the Reservoir it's only enough to supply the city barely during two days and in the case of following with the same pace of growth, soon it will be useless.

The Flora House it's a little free pass botanic garden where the visitors can find near of 100 species of different flowers, plants and bushes. As a curiosity of this botanic garden built on the art deco style, served to recover the population of the brown butterfly (cryssinea apophis), typical of New Bordeaux and which in the last decades of the twentieth century began to become extinct. Soon after the opening of the gardens a numerous group of those butterflies appeared on the building. The butterflies where studied by some biologists from the New Bordeaux Univerity and they stablished that the brown butterfly was very attracted by the ipomoea imperati, flower typical of North America and invader, but which with the past of the years it had loss presence on New Bordeaux with the consistent disappearance of the brown butterflies. Because of this, the neobordeauxian authorities had planted many of those ipomoea imperati around all Mosman to recover the butterfly that appears in the logo of the region.



The little zoo of Bicentennial Park, of free access too, it's on of the favorite places for the families of Mosman, as for locals than for visitors. See and feed the animals can bee a great experience, above all for the younger ones of the family. Instead of relying with some exotic species, the animals of this modest zoo came from animal farms whose specimens were orphaned, most of them because the fault of the poachers, so the zoo gives them the opportunity to follow with their lives. The only two animals that aren't in the park because this situation are the couple of giant panda (male and female) given by the Chinese Government on 2002.



As Central Park has the Met, Bicentennial Park has the Park Museum. In it are shown usually modern art works, although some retrospectives of authors of past centuries are shown too. Nowadays it's part of the park, but the museum was built many years before the park. In fact, Bicentennial Park is an amplification of the Museum Park that was located behind the museum.
