We had passed the end of the road our to the Mildura wreck on quite a few occasions but never had had the time to stop and investigate...so on one of our shopping runs into Exmouth we stopped off for a look!
It was a dull old day and it made the look of the wreck look cold and unfeeling. To think that they were stranded on the reef so close to the shore....no loss of life but the Bullocks were all lost....so much for not watching what you are doing or trying to take short cuts..
You can just see where the reef is with the wave line in this picture.
The Lighthouse that covers this tip of coastline is in the process of being renovated. This is a good spot to watch the whales further out to sea. We had seen quite a few from our base but of course they were always on the outside of the reef, so not easy to pick out.
