I am suprised you Aussies arent trying to save this clipper since all of your ancestors came on it. Its slated for demolition very shortly.

Probably lack of funds, restorations like that soak up a lot of dosh. There certainly is a lot of crap washed up on the bank there.

yes, but its a national treasure of yours I would think. Most of your ancestors came there on that very boat.

What's its name?

Thanks for the link Gary. Picton, eh? Might have to take a look.
All I've got to say is "Florence Nightingale threw up on that boat" and I'll have been dragged North in no time.

Yes, looks like someone has chucked away a perfectly good kayak there.
