Free Event Saturday 22nd November 2025.

Numbers are limited to non-members so please enter going on event link.

Following our AGM Historian Andrew Campbell will present an account of the HMAS Goorangai’s collision with MV Duntroon at the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum’s Gil Allbutt Boatshed, highlighting its significance as the first Royal Australian Navy ship lost in WW II and the first RAN surface ship lost in wartime with all hands.

As a community surrounded by water, our stories of the sea are a central part of who we are.
