Description
RHIB [rigid-hulled inflatable boat] boarding party at dawn, with two ships on horizon. View from HMAS Toowoomba. Lyndell Brown explained in a 2008 interview that:
"What struck us when we were on the Toowoomba was that sense of this marvellous beauty of the light catching the waves & just being on a floating island in the middle of this beautiful seascape."
