Interesting, ABC says they are steel, picture I have looks like they are concrete.

But then the ABC also think that Peter Garrett was a visionary, so they most likely are concrete, plastic, plaster, timber or something else

Concrete road culverts that era ordered with the wrong reo in them and 500 to many!!!

That will make an awesome reef!

Should be good in a few years
Stack them up and make fishy flats out of them

thats it, might get a few familes to move in too, lotsa bait and who knows what might hang around.!!

was this done bye a smart fisherman or maybe a not so smart one

Fisheries consulted the diving community for recommended locations. My preference was to distribute a portion next to the new MC memorial reef at the tippers site - as we found firm bottom there. also the bottle washer because it's popular and needs more structure to spread the punters out a bit.

because theres a large quanity of them, it wouldnt hurt puttng some with the new barge and Antaries at Fenton as well.

Should be able to get ten good reefs out of that lot. _maybe a rock bar at sampan!

My vote is further out the better, surely the closer they are the more they will get smashed ie bottlewasher?
