And that's not all that's dumped off the coast.
This site details some of the thousands of tons of Chemical and Conventional Ammunition dumped just miles off the coast all around Australia. I had once found a site that gave coordinates and descriptions of all Defence dump sites off the coast detailing what was dumped there, 75x 3 ton trucks, 400 tons M/T spares, 55 tons 3in Mortar ammn, and so on but I CAN"T FIND THE WEBSITE AGAIN!
