    Thanks Kyt.

    I get to Darwin from time to time, so I'll be interested to follow this one up.

    There are some other wrecks off Broome as well.

    Cheers

    The wrecks off Broome are Cats and Dutch Dorniers that can still be seen at low tide.

    The Japanese gas company mentioned are surveying the harbour for a proposed pipeline and there has been some concern that wrecks such as the Cats will be distrubed. The company is also looking at somewhere in NW West Oz for their project.

    Hi Andy,

    Yep, I had a very good look at them at low tide some years back as a 'younger' charter pilot.

    Cheers
