Thanks for the comments.



Today has arrive to Mosman the Simlympic Torch on the sixth day of the torch relay for the XI Simlympic Games.

This is the route map of the torch through Mosman.



The torch has arrive to Mosman coming from Petrova, where yesterday the torch did his route, directly to the T8 of the Paul Leclercq Int Airport. It was foreseen that the plain will arrive to the airport at 11:00 GMT-8, but some problems with the wather have delayed the flight.



Immediately the NBOC president Michal J. Tayllerand has been the first carrier of the torch, who has run with the torch from the Paul Leclercq International Aiport to the vicinity of the Ryde-Parramatta University Arena, where he gave the torch to the Mayor of Mosman Lionel Linus, who ran with it between the arena to the little jetty on the Oak Lake, where he boarded on a little boat in which he sailed across the Oak River, arriving to Bellemore. There the famous TV presenter Madison Gwendal took the relay and got on a bus in which she covered the road between Bellemore and the Bicentennial Park.



Between Bellemore and the Bicentennial Park the bus passed through the Brunnel Bridge, one of the two bridges that connects the Rushcutters Peninsula with Ryde-Parramatta.





Near the zoo of the Bicentennial Park, Madison Gwendal gave the torch to the football and actor Augustus Cole, who ran with the torch just to nearby the NBBC headquarters, where cyclist Anthony Fontana took the torch and pedaled to arrive to the Moodyville Treatment Square.



There the torch passed to the chief of the Mosman Police Department, Guillaume Barbereau, who ran with the torch from the Moodyville Square to the Simlympic Stadium on the Industrial Mile.



Before the stadium the same man, Guillaume Barbereau carried the torch to the Circular Quay near the Simlympic Park where as the Mayor of Mosman, he embarked on a motor boat to arrive to the Shatams Head Ferry Terminal.





There he gave the torch to Enoch Leclercq, one descendants of Paul Leclercq, founder of the region. He carried the torch from the ferry terminal to the Occident Station on the Sim Metro Life Boulevard where the relay was taken by Guillaume Bendejacq, another cyclist.



He ran with the torch in is bicycle till the las quarter of the boulevard, where he gave the torch to Daniel Azkoaga, the General Minister of New Bordeaux, who ran with the torch till the Atlantis Square, the end of the torch path through Mosman.

Awesome batch of updates!  I really like that national park, that's a beautiful vast area of natural forest!   Everything in the latest update looks amazing, that's quite the celebration on the go!

The cruise ship terminal in your last update really jumps out at me, where did you get that set of lots? 

[BarbarossaS]

Nice work with the simlympics, it looks fantastic.
Love those crowds!

Being a small region and with only a big city, New Bordeaux hasn't great sport leagues of its own, son its most important teams had to play on the US and Canada leagues. In the case of soccer, the Mosman Warriors and the Mosman Waves plays on the MLS (Mayor League Soccer) against Canada and USA teams, as in hockey, in the case of the Wizards of Mosman and the Mosman Whites, the play their matches on the NHL. The Mosman Walls, baseball team, plays on the National League (the never have been on the American League), the Mosman Wings are currently on the D-League of the NBA (they have played two seasons on the NBA), and the Mosman Whales plays on the NFL.



The New Sewart Field is the Mosman Warriors stadium. It was inaugurated on September of 2008 and its the most modern stadium of the city, and the one with the best facilities. It has a capacity for 61.000 spectators. Its located on the south border of the Bicentennial Park and it has splendid views of the park thanks to a large viewpoint on the north stand. Its equipped with high comfort locker rooms, bar, restaurant, gymnasium, club museum, press hall, infirmary, club stores and conference halls, everything to make the stadium one of the bests equipped in the world.



The Stadium Arcadium its located on the south boarder of the Sim Metro Life Boulevard. It is home for the Mosman Waves. It has a capacity of 110.000 spectators, stores, cafeteria, clinic and various services and its considered as an "5 Star Stadium", able to host events like great finals of elite championships.



The Mosman City Bank Arena is located on the metropolis heart, near to Procton Point and on the side of the Moodyville Treatment Square, is the court of the Wizards of Fosman, with a capacity of 18.200 spectators (although it can be expended to 20.000 dismantling the main ice ring). It has two ice rings, although only one of them is used for matches because the other, a smallest one, is only used for trainings. Thanks to its central situation, the MCB Arena hosts boxing fights, concerts or any other event with a lot of people.



The Icespear Arena is located on the junction of the L4 and L5 of the Mosman Metro, on the southeast of Ryde. It is the Mosman Whites court, a humble hockey team becoming from the working classes. With a capacity of 15.630 spectators, is the smallest of all the mosmite stadiums, but despite that, it is an important architectonic example of those kind of buildings.



The Safeco Field is located on Parramatta, near the border with Ryde. This mastodontic stadium, with a capacity of 47.155 spectators, is home of the Mosman Walls. This stadiums has a retractable roof to cover the field the rainy days. It counts with many food stalls, which allows to the spectators to buy food from their places on the stand and someone would carry their food to their seat. There are also team stores, press halls, big locker rooms and a club museum.



The "Nº101" of the SMLB, most known as the Sim Metro Life Arena. It is the court of the Mosman Wings, the city's basketball team. With a capacity of 17.239 spectators during the game days, is also a complex dedicated to concerts and spectacles thanks to the versatility of the building which allows a fast change on the ring and stands configuration.



The January 19th Memorial Stadium is located on the Parramatta Bay shore, in Shatam, near the Jasper Bridge. This stadium, home of the NFL Mosman Whales, has a capacity for 65.535 spectators. On its origins it was called Pendergast Coliseum but the name was changed on memory of the victims of the earthquake that shaked Pasadena (Neware) the january 19 of 1984.

Great series of shots!  That's an amazing set of sports facilities and you've done a great job integrating them into the surrounding area!

[djvandrake]

Wow!  What a wonderful update.  The collection of facilities you have is most impressive and a very nice addition to your city. 

[Earth quake]

Amazing Update.
I see that your city had a lot numerous installation of sport.

The Mount Hammer nuclear plant was a project of the Canadian government to provide New Bordeaux and Vancouver with power. Its location near the border between Canada and New Bordeaux (in fact, due its proximity with Mosman), unleashed a social denial by the neobordeauxians. Two weeks ago, after three years of works and being the plant ended, the government of Canada decided to stop the project.









I know that it hasn't anything with the power plant, but the border its on the nearsides of the plant and there is nothing else to show with it, so i put it here too.

[Glowbal]

Looking great! That must be the best powerplant i've ever seen.

[rooker1]

Engorn,
Fantastic pictures.  I really like the Power plant, it looks very realistic and believable.  The only suggestion I have would be to use Fukuda's High Tension poles.
Great stuff, it's always a pleasure to come visit your MD!

Looks great!  Love that powerplant, it's very realistic!

[djvandrake]

Awesome looking power plant.    Great update.

[Earth quake]

Wonderfull nuke power plant.
And excellent update.

[Nardo69]

Now that's what you can call a power pant. And like lots of them IRL close to the border ... 

Nice border, too. But I don't miss the border controls within the Schengen Countries in Europe!

Take care my friend!

[kelis]

Increible Mosman como siempre.

[Tomas Neto]

Fantastic!!! 

[Engorn]

And like lots of them IRL close to the border ... 

What is a IRL?

Nice border, too. But I don't miss the border controls within the Schengen Countries in Europe!

Well, in fact the border is a merely formality. Due the agreement between the Neobordeauxian and Canadia governments, all vehicles can flow free over the border. There are only some controls when the police is pursuiting someone or things like that, but never for customs.
