Mer-man
Filed Under General | 11 Comments
Launched from Newcastle upon Tyne in 1884 and taking 10 months to reach Brisbane, the HMQS Gayundah sailed for 74 years before running aground at Woody Point in Redcliffe. That was 50 years ago this year, and the fact that there is still anything recognisable remaining is a testament to the quality of Victorian engineering.

You see…Disco Sven, likes Disco photos. So when we entered an old Salvation Army hostel site in the middle of suburbia, we went under the guidance of a blue coloured torch as it was thought to be less visible.

Last night we decided to just go into the relatively close Garden City carkpark. Naturally we went via Pinkenba.

Two destination were in mind as we headed west again. No moon meant torches were on – I had one, Sven had his usual chest belt full.
