The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service has invited the NSW Government to join with them in celebrating the scuttling of the Ex-HMAS Adelaide at its annual charity ball on 27 March 2010.
It has also been announced that all efforts will be made to scuttle the ship on the morning of the ball, depending on the weather conditions.
Work is well underway on preparing the ship for scuttling and the ball will be a wonderful way to celebrate creation of the dive site.
The black tie event will raise much needed funds for this community owned and operated service that supports the provision of a free emergency rescue service to over one million people, covering a region of 132,000 square kilometres.
The scuttling is a highly weather dependent exercise and the scuttling date of 27 March 2010 is tentative. It is critical that the weather conditions are fine and calm for the ship to be scuttled successfully.
