Wild Australia - The Living Graveyard (DVD)

Join host Lin Sutherland as she dives into the waters around Australia and the Pacific to explore three shipwrecks and the marine life that now thrives in, and on them.

With tales of murderous mutiny, the BATAVIA shipwreck off the coast of Geraldton is one of Western Australia's best know historic dive sites and Australia's second oldest, the Dutch ship coming to rest in 6 meters of water in 1629.

The S.S. YONGOLA sank in 1911 with the loss of all aboard creating one of Australia's most intriguing maritime mysteries. She rests in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and is one of the world's top 5 dive sites.

The SS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE was a luxury passenger liner converted to a troop carrier during WWII. On the 26th October 1942 she entered Espritu Santo in Vanuatu where she struck friendly mines. All but two of the 5342 on board survived and today this site is considered by many divers as the best wreck dive in the world.

Three superb examples of how nature effortlessly exploits seemingly hostile environments, with such amazing variety, tenacity and efficiency.
