This was after the ambulance left. The driver must have been going at a high rate of speed. Awaiting word on status of driver and anyone else in the truck.
The wheel wreck represents the remains of a mid 19th century sailing vessel. The site is characterised by a mound of cargo that consists of mining equipment, mainly pipes, rising mains and clack valves associated with pumping, sheave wheels, drive wheels and boiler tubes. The identity of the vessel is the subject of ongoing research.

A major landmark on Fraser Island, located on the east coast of Australia, is the shipwreck of the S.S. Maheno. The Maheno was built in Scotland in 1905 as a luxury passenger ship for the trans-Tasman crossing. By 1935 the ship had been taken out of service and was sold to a ship-breaker in Japan. On 25 June 1935, while being towed to Osaka to be broken up, she was caught in a strong cyclone about 80 kilometres (50 miles) off the coast of Queensland. The towline parted, and on 9 July 1935 the Maheno became beached on the east coast of Fraser Island. [from Wikipedia.org]

WRECKS was in town from Tokyo for an exhibit he is a part of. He wanted to go benching, so I took him to several spots. Here he got to see a crew kicking cars.

I read all about this ship in the museum in Stanley (which is rather good considering where it is) but I cannot remember anything about it. Suppose I could just Google it?

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.
The schooner rigged screw steamer Enterprise was built in 1868 by Joseph Matthew of Sydney, with original measurements of 49.6 feet (15.1 m) in length, 11.4 feet (3.5 m) breadth
and 5.6 feet (1.7 m) depth. In 1872 the iron hulled vessel was lengthened to 78.7 feet (24.0 m) with 12.5 feet (3.8 m) breadth, 5.2 feet (1.6 m) depth and a gross tonnage of 36 tons.
The Enterprise was initially used for towing small craft around the ports of Sydney and later Adelaide, but was also involved in two significant communications developments in South
Australia's colonial history. In 1873 the steamer was engaged at Roper River in the Northern Territory, transporting supplies for the construction of the Overland Telegraph. In the late
1870s the Enterprise proceeded to the River Murray to assist with the building of the railway bridge across the river at Murray Bridge. It grounded at the Murray Mouth and was
delayed almost 10 weeks before being successfully refloated.
The steamer later returned to Port Adelaide as a general purpose vessel. Upon its deregistration in 1913, the Enterprise became a water-tender for a short time, before it was
eventually abandoned at the Garden Island Ships' Graveyard around August 1913. Today the remains lie largely hidden among the mangroves. The hull is basically complete along its
length with an intact stern section.
