“It’s a mystery as to why all of a sudden it’s got water in it because it was OK a month ago when I was on it.”
Suspicious.
F’s in chat. shame they weren’t able to keep them running they were a great historical landmark of the brisbane river
A 40 year old timber hull, it would cost a fortune in maintenance. That’s before it went submarine mode. Sadly I don’t see it being economical to bring it back operational.
Why does all the cool shit get discontinued when it’s my turn to be an adult
I hope it was insured…
Fuck that ad riddled piece of dog shit 7 web page
Gee I wonder how that happened….
I used to work as a cook when I was a uni student back in the late 1980’s. My boss’s brother was the manager on the Kookaburra Queen and they were short staffed one night so I agreed to cover the shift for a few extra dollars. Mate, the kitchen was the DIRTIEST kitchen I have ever seen and the food was nasty. I have never been on it since but I hope it improved over the years before they killed somebody.

Something about this phrasing amuses me much more than it should ☠️
One of my first jobs was as one of those annoying people who took your photo on the Kookaburra Queen. I would take everyone’s photo before the boat left, then get them developed in time for when it returned and try and sell them. Shitty job but it got me through uni.
How sad…
Oh honey, I turn 40 this year too and I sure as heck feel like sinking!
