THE MYORA SHIPWRECK
Only when the tide is low enough, can you see the Myora. The Myora is a steamship built in 1890 and was used for general services, fishing, and pleasure cruises. Although, in 1956 it sunk into the ocean. Now, mangroves anchor Myora to the river bank for all to enjoy.

Kayak was stable and easy to use. Great way to see Brisbane from another angle.
Staff were great. Was my first time kayaking and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Worst part was the stairs back up to the carpark in 33 degree heat! Great to see sunblock provided! Thanks team
