Dive Sites: Ex HMAS Brisbane
History:
The HMAS Brisbane was a Charles F Adams Class DDG guided missile destroyer of approx 5,000 tons. She was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy in 1967, and served Australia for 34 years, until she was decommissioned in 2001. The HMAS Brisbane served in both the Vietnam and Gulf War and assisted on a number of humanitarian missions such as the aftermath of Cyclone Tracy in Darwin.
In January 2003, the Queensland Government agreed for the scuttling of the HMAS Brisbane off the Sunshine Coast as an artificial reef and dive site.
After careful preparations, the ship was finally towed to the Sunshine Coast. With the expertise of a crew with extensive background in scuttling ships to create artificial reefs. Explosives were placed in wooden frames on the inside of the ship, below the waterline.
On 31 July 2005, to the east of Mudjimba Island these explosives were detonated. In only 2 minutes and 10 seconds the former HMAS Brisbane found her final resting place in 27 metres of water.
