FRASER ISLAND - Meheno Wreck Queensland Australia, now also known as K'gari Island. Late afternoon aerial view of the S.S. Maheno wreckage.

The graffitied hull of the Gayundah shipwreck sticks out from underneath a ring of fire. Funnily enough, this is actually a self-portrait since I was the one spinning the burning steel wool!

One of the many shots I took during the Flickr meetup at the SS Dicky. I liked my dusk photos better than the fully-night ones because the dust wasn't so obvious in the dusky shots; also, the boats on the horizon aren't nearly as obvious/needing to be cloned out!

Early morning swells send waves crashing over rocks at Bore Beach in Phillip Island.

A three masted steel ship of 2,876 tons and 93 metres, having been built in Wales, 1891, the Speke drifted broadside on to a reef to the east of Kitty Miller Bay on 22 February 1906 while en route from Peru, via Sydney, to Geelong, in ballast, to pick up a cargo of wheat. The accident was attributed to faulty navigation by the captain who had confused Cape Schank Lighthouse for the Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet. A lifeboat was quickly launched after striking the reef, but it capsized and one of the four occupants drowned. Those remaining finally reached the beach exhausted. Little of the Speke was salvaged and heavy seas battered the wreck for several days until it broke in two and rapidly disintegrated.

Big swells hitting the rocks channels waves at 90 degrees. Pounding white water creates amazing powerful drama.

The sun sets behind the iconic St Kilda Pier.
