Following Mr Hood’s presentation, there will be a lunch at the Shipwreck Bistro in Port MacDonnell.

The Port MacDonnell Community Complex will offer free entry to seniors all day with Submerged, Stories of Australia’s Shipwrecks and South East Art Society exhibitions available for free viewing at the maritime museum.

Another lunch will be available at the Bellum Hotel tomorrow, with free transport provided from Donovans and Carpenter Rocks.
