Exploring Garden Island Ships' Graveyard with the Bebop 2

speagles2 · May 20, 2019

Garden Island ships' graveyard in South Australia is home to around 25 wrecks of dredges, barges, pontoons, ferries, sailing ships and steamers abandoned there between 1909 and 1945, the oldest vessel dating back to 1856. A fascinating place to explore from the air with the Bebop 2.

Thanks to Eric Matyas, www.soundimage.org, for the awesome music. The track is called "Over Haunted Lands" - which seemed kind of appropriate

Very appropriate! We used to have an old whaling ship rotting away in the harbour nearby as a kid, ribs sticking up just like those....by the time I was a teenager, it had entirely disappeared.

That was a cool video, Sad to just watch everything rot away. Nice flying.

Thanks Rocky & Sidd! It's a fascinating spot and I was lucky enough to be there on a beautiful Autumn morning. Will have to go back sometime to explore the wrecks by kayak, which is the other way to see them up close.
