SS Austral Sinking

Did you know in 1882 a perfectly serviceable Ocean Liner sunk in Sydney Harbour?

The Orient Line's Austral sinking was a major disaster that confounded Sydneysiders and journalists alike.

But the cause was a simple case of human error. And the solution was a showcase of human ingenuity!
