Sunrise on a moody day at Dicky Beach to say goodbye to the SS Dicky as it's getting ready for relocation. Visiting the wreck that has been sitting on this beach since 1893 will soon see a change on the horizon. The exposed stern, starboard and port ribs are going to be removed and conserved in the next few weeks. Don't miss the opportunity to say farewell and whilst you're there take a glorious walk along the beach, surf and enjoy the weather that the Sunshine Coast is famous for. #waterlust #weekendgetaway
