I am looking for someone who regularly fishes or is around the Town Reaches of the Fitzroy River @ Rockhampton. There is a old, derelict looking boat moored there ("ASCENSION") that we have purchased for restoration / or demolition. Bought "sight unseen".. so anyone who could send / post a pic of it would be much appreciated.
If there is someone who could keep an eye on it... if they happen to be around and let me know if they notice anything unusual, particularly if it seems to be dragging its mooring, I would be happy to pay a few $ for expenses.

Hi, Saw your boat 28/12/03. You're right it is in a sorry state. Anchored at the downstream end of the town reaches mid river. You will have to watch this time of the year as the city releases large volumes of water from the barrage if there is rain. Too much rain & they open the gates & the river runs high & fast or else floods. Should be in R'ton again about 8/01. Will take a photo & post then. Bill
