We interrupt this television show for an emergency news broadcast Newsreader: A fire started in the Livonia Ranges near the Explore Metals mine overnight. Since it started, the fire has spread and burnt slightly over 120 000 hectares. It has been confirmed that one person has been killed by the fire and 6 homes have been destroyed. Strong winds and hot weather are predicted which has provoked the CFS (Country Fire Service) to issue a catastrophic fire warning. More Updates Soon.

Maritine Island is developing rapidly, the first city has grown at an amazing rate, thriving on all the tourism. It has been named Pelikanas, after the Pelicans which inhabit the area. Although Pelikanas was built for tourists to come and go, high demand forced the city to zone for houses. Commercial zoning was also needed, the residents needed somewhere to work and the tourists needed somewhere to shop. After years of commercial developments, a quite large CBD was the result, even sporting some quite tall...

Newsreader: Well the Maritine Island bush fire is finally under control. The fire burnt over 230 000 hectares and tragically killed 11 people. An uncounted number of buildings were destroyed but it is estimated to be over 100. The fire managed to make it to the edge of Port Flinders CBD before dying down. Thanks to the CFS warnings, most people were able to evacuate to the foreshore and survive. The bush fire was amazingly Maritine Island's first, but more are predicted.

Pandion

By Shortie12,

__________________ Pandion. What can I say? It’s the largest city on Maritine Island, it’s the first city on the island to introduce mass transit, it’s an entertainment hub, and it has one of the largest CBD’s. In this post we will explore the history, attractions, and more of Pandion, the city of the sea. Brief History Pandion was built as a capital for Maritine Island and planned with large CBD featuring tall buildings to show how much the island had developed. The city quickly took off with a promise...

Radio Newsreader: The bush fire on Maritine Island has spread further with a total of just over 200 000 hectares burnt. The death toll is now up to 8 people and 34 houses and sheds have been destroyed. We have just received information that the fire is headed for Port Flinders and all citizens of Port Flinders should evacuate to the foreshore. Do not attempt to defend your home. Television on Maritine Island has stopped working so be sure to continue listening to the radio for frequent updates on the fire.

Nautilus Stage Two

By Shortie12,

Thankyou everyone so much for comments! Unfortunately I will not reply to all of them as I would ed up saying the same thing over and over, which would be: "THANKYOU SOO MUCH!" (I would mean it) So just know that I am very grateful for the comments. ___________________________________________________________ I have finally finished stage two! I’m sorry it took so long but placing all those trees takes a while. Anyway, let’s begin. _______________________________ Nautilus Stage Two was planned by Henry...

___________________________________________________ I can't believe how many times I've said this but I'm sorry I havn't updated! D: School's been a bit hectic for me but I'm trying to fit simcity in because I love it so much. I've been enjoying revisiting Pelikanas and Nautlius to renew them and I hope everyone will like the changes when I take you on a tour of the renewed area. Thanks for reading!

______________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ A new company transport company called Maritine Metro has been established on Maritine Island and will be providing public transport for the new city, Pandion. The company colour of choice is red so residents of Pandion can look forward to seeing red buses, monorails and trains. A subway is also being built but you won’t be seeing much of...

__________________________________________________________________ Outskirts of Pelikanas The outskirts of Pelikanas are the location of the Pelikanas International Airport (the second busiest airport in South Australia) as well as Westfield Pelikanas, which is separated into three large buildings and surrounded by smaller shops. Agriculture Although Pelikanas now held a strong economy, the city could not afford to continue buying all of its food. The Pelikanas City Council decided it was time to start...

_______________________________________ Time to start posting at a normal rate, I'm sorry I'm taking so long. I've been very busy preparing for the Pandion simlympic bid. I'm very happy to be building more cities and I appreciate your thoughts. I'll make replies in the comments. Thanks, Enjoy. ___________

South Australia was a prosperous state, it had advanced in agriculture, aquaculture and mining. However, the state had a problem. South Australia could not thrive on exports alone, it needed more, it needed tourism. South Australia’s dry “outback” scenery had bought tourists for many years, but the desert scenery tended to bore people after a small amount of time. They needed something that would bring people coming back for years. That’s when John Maritine spoke out. John’s idea to bring tourists was...

UPDATE: I have finally fixed the nightlights (YAYY!!) so expect the new Pandion post very soon. ________________________________________________ I'd just like to tell you that I havn't given up on my journal. I've just received a new computer and I've been struggling with some certain things on sim city (particularly getting the nightlights working again). However, I will fix these problems very soon and be back posting in no time. (:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This Is An Article From The Advertiser, 40 Years Ago _____________________ John Maritine announced today that work would begin to establish a new city called “Pandion.” The name was extracted from Pandion Haliaetus, the scientific name for the Osprey, a seabird that inhabits Australia.

This is a commercial for Maritine Island that I have made. I figured I should make one because I havn't made a post in a while because I've been working on the next big update. Hope you enjoy it. (I do not own any of these clips I collected them from youtube)

Hello, I’d like to thank you for taking a look at my CJ. I have spent a long time thinking about making a CJ, but was unable due to the lack of “realism” in my cities and regions. Although this City Journal will grow in quite a strange way, I still hope you really enjoy it. Thanks again.
