2005 (Taken by Dad)

Wow, IIRC it really seems to be deteriorating since I saw it about 10 years ago. I have some pics somewhere, and some video, but I also have the most vivid memory of how haunting it was - I had that crawling, cold skin sensation when I first saw it - the missus of the moment was really scared - it was creepy.yikes Especially as we were the only people there.
Almost gone now:



Taken from the excellent SS Australis Site

According to locals 30 people died trying to get to that wreck. The guy who climbed aboard and took pictures in 2005 (IIRC) died two years later in a bike accident. All very sad.
