A fisherman contemplates the dawn, and reflects on the fate of the destroyer HMAS Brisbane, which was to be sunk later that day, as a recreational dive site off the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.

Many thanks Vendla,Terry,Jessica,Robert,Scott and Susie for taking time to comment on this one. Robert, probably 10 years ago I might have had a go at diving, but the aging process has caught up with me. Besides the diving tours on the 'Brisbane' are booked out till next April. Susie, thanks for Sundogs info, I meant to contact you about it. #1736606Kay E. Mahoney September 24, 2005
