Interesting, we build reefs to surf on but we could also blow them up.

there is a killer slab a few hours out of Perth that could do with a little "touch up"

Back back back in the day when I wasn't even a little twinkle in my fathers ballsack, there was the story of trigg point...

Any historians amongst us or perhaps those of a rupee vintage than me may have a first hand account but.......

A few nuns went for a swim at trigg, they got dragged out towards the point to where the "blue hole " is or was,, several of them drowned..

I think prior to this there may have been a few other singular drownings of younger people and swimmers...

This was however the last straw, they blew the "blue hole" area of the reef to smithereeens and from what I have heard took a huge chunk out of the reef and displaced the current quite significantly.

I would be interested if anyone has a link or proper recount of this story especially any photos prior and after..

I am quite certain this is a true story and not folklore
