Comment on Sydney-Canberra High Speed Rail gathering momentum by angus

Recently travelled by shuttle train from Gatwick Airport to London. Nothing flash, but acceptable travel time. A bit expensive however. Consider a new airport near Sutton Forest, connected to Sydney and Canberra by high-speed shuttle. Both cities within 40 minutes of airport, which is quite reasonable. The marginal time difference vis a vis existing travel from Mascot only perhaps 25 minutes to Sydney. High speed train would need a Mascot station to enable ease of transfers. No other stations. Great for regional development, especially Goulburn, and good access to Wollongong also.

Hello,
I am wanting to publish a short news story on myregion based on your blog about SERREE.
To accompany the story I’m needing a photo, and was hoping to use the picture of the wind farm blades at Lake George that is contained in your Strategic Regional Plan.
Can you please let me know if we have permission to use that photo for this purpose?
I look forward to hearing from you,
Louise Ray
