Do they really know their stuff!
"Under New Zealand law, you can't leave wrecks on the seabed," Saunders said. Yet there are plenty of untouched wrecks around NZ.
"It is really only a matter of time before the bow section breaks up, with its internals now exposed to the open sea," Smith said.
The bow of the ship remained on the reef, Yeo said. "It's not going anywhere."

Guess losing another one will make all the other Monaro's go up in value!

Shipping lane!I don't think you could call Astrolabe a shipping lane, thats how they got in the crap in the first place lol.In fact it might be a good idea to leave the bow where it is and put a lighthouse on it.

They usually stack the light containers on top and a monaro is light compared to most cargo. I'd be surprised if it was below deck

who cares haha. No but actually I have a feeling the so called mustang was reported incorrectly. I seem to recall a news item that quickly mentioned a mustang when the half wit reporter meant a Monaro.could be wrong though.

Just another boat anchor. Probably a good place for Holdens.Wonder if there is any space for a few more alongside that one!

Ah, that may explain it. Recycle newer Holdens into something useful - but hey, let's keep the classics.

just like the aussie cricket team of 1986 ,then they would have a proper excuse for underarm bowling but then again most of the players would have retired by now (An old aussie joke)

Hey you guys - don't be like them. I might be blue, but at least I appreciate others idiosyncrasies.
