Shipwreck in Blackmore River

On a Sunday flight a few weeks ago in my ultralight aircraft from MKT Airfield to Delissaville Airfield, I crossed the Blackmore River flying over Greenwood Island. I do this almost every time I am heading west to Dundee or Bynoe Harbour… but this day I saw something a little different. A sunken vessel. At a guess it is 15 metres long.

It has probably been sunk for many years with tides moving the vessel to a location where it is now visible. I am lucky to have the chance to witness odd things when I go flying around Darwin.
