Broome Catalina Sunrise



It was a negative tide this morning. This provided the opportunity to see the remains of some of the flying boats sunk by Japanese planes on 3 March 1942. More than 40 people died and 15 flying boats were destroyed as well as other aircraft on the ground.

If you can't manage the walk, there is a hovercraft trip.

Fascinating. Does the tide ever reveal anything of the Dorniers which were at anchor at the time?

Sure does. Couldn't find room for Dornier in the title so included the link to the War Memorial for more detail.
