No. 2 MIDDLETON REEF- Border with Tasman Sea

International fishing vessel - on the bottom, near the Runic wreck.
Captain Wally Muller made use of this shipwreck anchor during a cyclone.
Calm morning on Lord Howe Island
Runic after a cyclone called 'Colin' had blown away the stern section. Also shows anchor chain damage to coral.
 Photo taken from Coralita when she anchored in water far too shallow.



Coralita departed from Port Macquarie for Middleton Reef but had to return via Coffs Harbour  due to heavy seas on the river sand bar.  
Coffs Harbour is slightly further north of Lord Howe Island's latitude position.
