Wreck of the Yorke

Weeroona Island is surrounded by water when the tide is high. On very high tides the road across to the island is flooded and passage is not possible.

We were looking for the wreck of the Yorke. I joked as we set off along the track that we might not see it when the tide is high. We drove along past a bunch of fishing shacks that have been improved a lot in recent years on the lookout for a wreck.

No joy at all we were looking at the place where it was supposed to be and could not see anything. Were we in the right place? The GPS location claimed we were. Then we noted some iron sticking up just above the waves. We had found the wreck. At least the top 6 inches.Läs mer
