ex-HMAS BRISBANE
Last Saturday I had a couple of dives on the ex-HMAS Brisbane. The ship was sunk to create an artificial reef and dive site off Mooloolaba, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. She lies in 27 metres of water and in the two years since she came to rest upright on the sand, many species have taken up residence.

My buddy for the dive was Chantal Dunbar, Managing Editor of Travelling in Australia magazine, which is featuring the Brisbane as one of ten great Australian dives in their next issue. The folks from SCUBAWORLD looked after us for the day.
