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.

this row of houses in inner city Calgary is slated to be demolished. Local artist got together and turned the old houses into a temporary art gallery. Pretty cool!

This truck was hauling garbage for a private high school (Upper Columbia Academy) near Spangle, WA when it was hit by a train. The engineer didn't blow the horn and the train, a locomotive and caboose, where obscured by the rear view mirror. The crossing didn't have gates or lights. The three high school students in the truck on suffered minor injuries. Photo taken by my brother in 1976. My brother was a senior. The driver of the truck is a friend of mine to this day.
Shot from a kayak near Antioch. There was another wreck right behind this one, and after that I lost count of all the abandoned boats and wrecks.
The Ettrick Bay wreck on Bute took a battering from the recent storm and has now lost most of her bow and forward deck
Wrecked boats on the shore - Salen Mull.
I haven't been to Mull for years - there can't be much of the old boats left these days.
