On this remote Tasmanian beach you'd rarely see any evidence of human life, but the white sands are now host to a busted Sydney to Hobart race yacht — and experts say getting it out of there is going to take a 'massive effort'.
An alert issued by Marine and Safety Tasmania said an at-sea salvage attempt was due to take place — but before that could happen, the vessel had gone ashore.
But just days later, in a now-deleted post, the boat's owner said the team were "angry, devastated and at a complete loss as to how the hell it came to this, given she was floating around for a week now with ample opportunity to be towed to safety". "It may have been easier to pick the boat up when it was in one piece when it was drifting around," he said.
