The pristine white sands of the sunshine coast, Bribie and Morton Island are under going a mammoth clean-up as the oil slick washes ashore.

During the wild weather of Cyclone Hamish at the end of last week, The Pacific Adventurer was headed from Newcastle (NSW) to Brisbane (QLD). As it was passing Moreton Island in high winds and rough seas, 32 containers of Ammonium Nitrate fell overboard. A falling container damaged the hull of the boat and caused the oil leak.
The Pacific Adventurer is now docked at Hamilton and is continuing to leak oil into the Brisbane River.
