Gnadenburg,

Thanks, wreck is approx 2nm south west of Cape Melville on the beach. Approx S14deg 13' E 144deg 28'. Exact GPS position still in the GPS currently on loan to a mate. Just grabbed the lat and long off my WAC chart.

Where can I find more info on the wreck? I am writing an account of the hike for a magazine, and it adds an historical element to the article, which will nicely complement our tales of crocs, dugongs, snakes, sharks, turtles, rays, fish, pigs, cattle and assorted other wildlife.

Capt Claret I too have heard that tale, and the wrecks are somewhere around Weipa.

Thanks all for your prompt replies!

Photo to come 2moro - cannot be bothered leaving the seaside balcony to go into town and get ' this arvo!
