[westie]

Well I was in the "c" area is that a better class than you Jugs
Spaniard-King looks to be in the " A - A1 " Area to me but then i am just an old fart.

[Spaniard_King]

Jugs,

have a look at some of my pics, hang on I will post a better sample. To say the least I was totally p!ssed off at the morrons who encroached into the "Exclussion Zone"

I was at either Bouy A1 or A2 I wasnt sure ::) and I was outside the exclusion zone :(

some of my pics were taken well before she went down

Top shelf Gary. Thanks for the sharing of some top shots. Was going to go up there as well, but thought about climbing Mt Coolum to stay away from the crowds, but from the News footage look to be 100's up there as well. Thanks again Gary really enjoyed them.

Interesting day , worth the wait & the hassle at the boatramp to see her go down .About 1/2 an hour to get in the water , and once back at the ramp , about 2 hours to get back on the trailer . 1/2 an hour of this was floating around on the water at the ramp , waiting for an opening on the beach , them the other 1 1/2 hours , in the jam up ever so slowly inching the car & trailer towards the ramp. :P

Boy there were some boats out there :o
I'm posting a couple of photos , not the best quality but may help in the overall view of the sinking .

A late geday to all the other Ausfish guys & gals who were out there with us , especialy the crew in the White Haines that I was talking to , anchored just behind us . ( sorry guys I didnt see your Ausfishers stickers untill we were leaving ) :-/

The first photo shows some of the spectator craft & the Ausfish White Haines on the left hand side .

[searaider]

One of the firework type flashes that were only for show that went off just before the real explosions .

[Spaniard_King]

g'day Peter,

yeh dat was me, So many boats you were not alone. I too was looking and not seeing as well.

maybe next time i am up your way

cheers
for the pics

Garry

[searaider]

Just after some of the real charges going off .

[searaider]

On her way down

[searaider]

Geday Gary ( Spaniard_King ) ,
Catch up with you next time .
For those who werent there ,the photo doesnt actually show how many boats were on the water . You had to have eyes in the back of your head , just to see that no one was going the either drift or run into you :o

It proves one thing no matter what craft you have, there is room on our waterway for all to enjoy and be safe, if we all keep our kool and keep our eyes open. Congrads to all skippers from the Canoe to the Charter Boats you all deserver a pat on the back, I felt it was a pleasure being there to enjoy the day for what it was along with being in the history books for longer then any of us will be here. Remember to soon we all will become history but it was good to be a part of it!!!!!!

[DICER]

;DGood idea as it would be good to see everyone's pics in the one thread.

;)BTW who will be the first to post an underwater pic of her on the bottom?

[Bill_Klein]

sorry got sidetracked with the boss

[Bill_Klein]

they said it would take 2mins 10 secs to go down dont know bout everyone else but she seemed to go down quicker than that

[Bill_Klein]

not long now

[Bill_Klein]

mt coolum looks good in the haze of exhaust fumes

[Bill_Klein]

would love to get access to the cameras they had on the ship as it went under

[Bill_Klein]

last one for this mornin got to get to work

[Bill_Klein]

yay im a bronzy

[gunna]

I don't suppose you were allowed to run across it with the sounder after it sank ??

[Bill_Klein]

nah to many police boats around would have been to obvious

[westie]

If you were going to do that, I think it is to late now.
I belive they have put a full time bouy ( Like Blinker) at mid ships and warning signs with all sorts of DO NOT stuff.
There should be in place now 5 morrings 2 on each side of the stern, 2 Mid Ships and one on the bow all about 25m out these will have bouys on them, inside these will be a NO GO ZONE, along with it being a Marine Park fishing may not be allowed around it for up to 500m - 1k. This is all subject to change

[Spaniard_King]

I was talkin to a member of the Water police yesterday and apparently there is some confussion on who is going to police the regulations in reguards to fishing, diving anchoring ect

THIS IS NOT MY POST BUT IS >>> Scubaroo...Post from a differant location and thought it should be here for all to see as it make good sense

Having once had to cut myself out of fishing line while diving a wreck (purpose sunk for diving), it would be much appreciated if fishing DIDN'T take place on the wreck of the Brisbane! I think a lot of us underestimate just how dangerous tangled fishing line is to divers. It's not easily cut with a knife underwater, and near bloody invisible - numerous divers have drowned over the years around the world thanks to fishing line.

I'm both a fisho and a diver - fishing on an artificial wreck put down specifically for the dive tourism industry is going to create unnecessary potentially life-threatening hazards, and foster a bad perception of us fishos in general. Like we need more of that. The wreck is shallow enough that relative-beginner divers will be able to dive it, they don't need the stress of dealing with a line entanglement while on a limited air supply.

I'll probably travel up from Melbourne in the next 12 months or so to dive on it - it will be huge for the local economy - $22 million in tourism revenue is one figure I heard.

It will make a hell of an aggregation site though #, fishing around the exclusion zone should still be excellent - it's amazing to watch the pelagics come in out of blue water around wrecks.

cheers #

[Bill_Klein]

what ever it's goin to be it still is a good thing like someone said fish will be swimmin around it so would be good for all

[Bill_Klein]

Westie will have to get together so we can plan a dive trip both fisho and diveo here so must plan something soon

[westie]

Outdoor-Guy I do not dive I have modified the post as it was not mine but I grabbed it and posted it as I thought it was something we all should be aware of.
Sorry about that ::)

[Bill_Klein]

Sorry bud didn't read the post earlyer
Thats ok i'll dive while u fish LOL

[SharkBait]

Outdoor Guy,
Three super avid fisho's in the house here - whom all dive as well. Looking forward to getting down on the Brissy sometime. We have our own gear and a 5m Quinny drop us a line anytime
Cheers ;)

[Bill_Klein]

Sharky anytime mate just email me will be up for it
i reckon give it a year to settle down heard all the charter mobs are booked out for a year at least
will be better then any ways more fish and algea will be on it
