06/06/2008: "SOUTH WEST ROCKS ...... Koondooloo stranded"
Listed in John Sumner's Catalogue of Australian Shipwreck Postcards (CASP) booklet the following:
"Koondooloo went ashore with the Sydney Queen and Lurgeruna on 9 January 1972 after a tow line broke".
John Sumner must surely be the keenest collector of shipwreck information. His dive weight belt was been made from scrap lead found at wreck sites, each weight engraved with the name of the ship. How keen is that? He works tirelessly with his shipwreck information updates and has thus far avoided using the internet for research.
Also a partner in a Solomon Islands salvage project with master diver Water Hamilton Gibbins - the project stalled when Wally became ill then departed on his spiritual journey.
