Access to the island was only possible via boat.

The recovery operation commenced by cleaning out the hull of years of leaf litter. It was then dug out of the ground and winched by hand over a distance of about 80m to a suitable launching spot on the river’s edge.
G'day Ian Patrick,

Just wondering how the restoration on this carrier is going since it has been a while since the carrier went for a little float across the river? Did you post up a YouTube link like you mentioned in another post?

Kind Regards
Lionel
