A photographic exploration of Australia's most colourful artificial reef, HMAS Brisbane. Since being scuttled off Mooloolaba in July 2005, the former Australian Navy guided missile destroyer HMAS Brisbane has been transformed and is now covered in colourful corals and home to a spectacular array of subtropical marine life. This visual guide to HMAS Brisbane gives the reader a brief history of the destroyer, its service record, its retirement, its preparation and cleaning, the sinking and exploring the artificial reef today - highlighting the features of the ship and the incredible marine life divers will encounter on Queensland's Coral Warship. HMAS BRISBANE is available from the two dive shops in Mooloolaba - Sunreef and Scubaworld, and other selected dive shops in Brisbane.
