    Those pics are old, they did the rounds of the e-mail last year some time.
    They are also of the Selkirk Settler.

    Onya Cliff! They turned her seaward tonight and tomorrow may be able to pull her off. Those bulkers are quite expensive, so I hope they get her afloat. If not, more $$$ to S. Korea or Denmark.
    Cheers,

    Bob

    Perhaps they can drag her to one of the new marine parks zones up at Port Stephens.
    Hopefully they'd remove the 800 tonnes of oil on board first

    Cliff, Photo number one shows some of the other ships anchored off shore.
    There has been up to 70 or 60 ships at a time waiting to come in and load coal.
    The ships are anchored for many miles (kilometres) along the coast.

    Looks like a beached whale with the pod offshore waiting for her to be sent back out.

    Hope it doesn't make a mess - the locals love their beach

    Sorry Cliff,

    Pictures posted in good faith. Punishment for me will be banning from WW for 2 hours, punishment for guy who sent photos to me will not be discussed here.

    Cheers,

    yeah who knows I thouht it would be a great idea to leave it.it has bought more people back to the city than ever..... turn it slightly for the southerly swell to come in and there will be some nice breaks coming off her for some fun waves fore the boardriders great place for a restaurant/niteclub and later down the track a good fishing spot
