[Berleyguts]

It’s happened again. This happened this morning 73 kms south of Sydney. Be careful out there.

Ouch, looks like I might not be getting my ebay purchases this month 😒

 

Jokes aside, would be pretty savage out there!

 

Where do you try & hide in one of those?

The article says the ship was 73km SE of Sydney when the incident occurred but they travelled north and were off Seal Rocks this evening. Let’s hope the clean up happens a lot quicker than the last one and the Singapore registered vessel/company pays for it. They only just finished the cleanup of the last incident off Port Stephens two years ago!

I think its absolute crap that the Aussie tax payer ended up paying 17 million for what was an overseas companies problem!!

If these ones are that far off the coast then leave them there I say, new artificial reefs!
