IT’S not often that passengers are encouraged to board a ship “before it sinks”.
But that’s what the Qld Government is suggesting, with only a matter of months before ex-HMAS Tobruk will sleep with the fishes.
The vessel will be scuttled mid this year and turned into a dive site and artificial habitat for marine life.
More than 2,000 tickets will be available for a community open weekend on 05-07 May, catering to visitors who want to see the ship, but don’t want to get their hair wet.
The viewing will include the ship’s galley, engine room, troop’s quarters and a walk-through of the tank deck.
Ex-HMAS Tobruk (pictured in Sydney) will be scuttled in Queensland’s Wide Bay.
