Welcome to HMASBrisbane.com.au, Australia’s original & growing Internet gateway to the ex-HMAS Brisbane, Australia’s newest scuba dive site on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland. During its time in service, HMAS Brisbane was affectionately known by those who served on her as “The Steel Cat”. Huge crowds watched as the HMAS Brisbane was ceremoniously sunk at 10am on Sun 31 July 2005, just off the coast of Maroochydore & Mooloolaba.
