Sorry for not being able to visit your streams lately. I haven't been posting of taking images also. The loonys are taking over and they're supported by some green meanies, but we have to stay positive and I hope things will be back to normal soon. :-)
We found this wreck outside my workplace, 200m or so from the shore. It was an easy dive to reach it (max depth was 6m) but in poor visibility;
We managed to find the wreck by compass so it made for a good exercise in UW navigation.
Wreck of the cruise ship Maheno.
Fraser Island Australia - World Heritage Listed.
The S.S. Maheno was an Edwardian liner on the Tasman Sea crossing between New Zealand and Australia, and was used as a hospital ship by the New Zealand division of the Royal Navy during World War I.
A landmark on 75 Mile Beach in Fraser Island is the shipwreck of the Maheno. Maheno was originally built in 1905[citation needed] in Scotland as a luxury passenger ship for trans-Tasman crossings. During the First World War the ship served as a hospital ship in the Mediterranean, Gallipoli, and the English Channel, before returning to a luxury liner. In 1935, the ship was declared outdated and on June 25, 1935 the ship was being towed from Melbourne to Japan for scrap metal when it was caught in a strong cyclone. A few days later, on July 9, 1935[citation needed] she drifted ashore and was beached on the eastern shores of Fraser Island. During the Second World War the Maheno served as target bombing practice[citation needed] for the RAAF. The ship has since become severely rusted. Climbing on the shipwreck is not permitted.
About 700 million years ago Antarctica had mountain ranges that rival the modern-day Himalayas. These mountain ranges were eroded with the resulting sands being accumulated on the continental shelf where Fraser Island now lies.

This is of course a staple for all Edinburgh-based photographers. So much that it perhaps a little stale. I have therefore chosen for a less popular composition, looking straight into the belly of the beast. I knew the tide was gonna be low, but the chance of decent light, and no parental commitments made me give it a try anyway.
Please share your thought, if any. Thanks so much for your time and have a nice weekend.
The Garden Island Ships' Graveyard, in the North Arm of the Port Adelaide River, offers paddlers a chance to experience part of South Australia's early maritime history.
The 26 wrecks at Garden Island are part of one of the world's largest and most diverse ships' graveyards. Boasting the remains of sailing ships, steamers, motor vessels, ferries, barges, dredgers and pontoons, the site provides a unique glimpse into our past.
The mudflats the wrecks lay on are bounded by mangroves – one of the few remaining systems in metropolitan Adelaide. This eco-system provides a habitat for dolphins, other marine creatures and bird species, enhancing a recreational paddler's experience.
The trail is marked by three on-water signs near the main group of wrecks, as well as two on-land signs at the Garden Island boat ramp.
Sunbeam
The three masted barque Sunbeam was built at Kircaldy, Scotland in 1857 by John Brown and Company. The iron hulled vessel of 443 gross tons measured 141.5 feet (43.1 m) in length, 27.1 feet (8.3 m) breadth and 16.8 feet (5.1 m) depth.
After a number of ownership changes and many years trading internationally, the Sunbeam was converted into a coal hulk in Melbourne in 1886. Shortly afterwards it was brought to Port Adelaide to serve as a general purpose hulk within the port.
The Sunbeam was abandoned in the Graveyard circa 10 October 1910 – the first iron vessel to be placed there. Today the vessel is generally intact along its entire length, and with its bow facing the water is easily recognisable. A boiler of unknown origin is lying under the starboard bow.

Wreck It Ralph cookies for a friend's birthday this weekend. I need to practice character cookies a bit more.
I've been after one of these 'Wreck This Journal' books for 2 years now and when I was out shopping in Liverpool yesterday I spotted an Urban Outfitters shop (which I didn't even know was there. How I've never noticed it... I'll never know) and didn't even think about it and just ran in to the shop to go and find one as everytime I've tried to order one on the shops website, they've been sold out.
I like fun projects like this so it should keep me entertained for a while.
New items found...
Post it note that blew across the playground to say that Noah had been talking in class! Classic!

A single DC GEVO leads a train of wrecked boeing cars eastbound through Huntley, MT on MRL's First Sub. The train is feet away from entering the connection to the Big Horn Sub. The wrecked cars are more than likely from the derailment west of Missoula several weeks prior that sent three 737 fuselages into the Clark Fork River.
