North Queensland wrecks??

Post by NickS »

Hey Everyone!
I live in Townsville, QLD, during the year, but summer in Cairns, QLD. I am a SCUBA diver and a plane/ship nut was wondering if there are any war wrecks anywhere near me, on land or under water, that anyone knew about? I have heard of one on Mt Bartle Frere and one on Hinchinbrook island but are there any more interesting ones? I would love to check them out!
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I know of a P-39 wreck off Cairns, there's the B-25 off Port Douglas, a B-17 in the channel at Hinchinbrook Is and a couple of other bits and pieces around. Not to mention the stuff still to be located like the Beaufort near magnetic Island.
