'The wreck of the
SS Yongala is a diver's Disneyland.
After sitting on the ocean floor for more than 100 years, the 110-metre wreck
off the coast of Townsville in north Queensland has developed its own
ecosystem, and is home to a diverse range of fish species, sharks, rays and
turtles.
But there's another, darker side to the story of the
SS Yongala.
And it fascinates archaeologist Celeste Jordan.
"Really, it is Disney diving, it's touted as Australia's
Titanic," she said.'
