Some work has been done around Wallaroo and, hopefully, in the coming year there may be a boat there. I know there has been some interest in trying to do something around Port Pirie, obviously to access the Lower Flinders and the Clare Valley, but there are some logistic issues in getting the ships in. However, the team at SATC is constantly looking for new opportunities. South Australia has a lot to offer and the more we can expose the cruise ships to our regions, the better it is for the regions, and so we will continue to look for all of those opportunities.</text>
