This image is part of a series in a theme of reviewing the fate of abandoned human manufactured objects in the natural environment and focuses on the deconstructing of the shipwreck "Cherry Venture".

The Cherry Venture was driven ashore in 1973 during a violent storm. The stranded vessel high on the sand resisted every attempt to be returned to its sea duties, clearly choosing to become the accidental tourist attraction on the Noosa Northshore Sands.

When seen by the artist in 2000, the Cherry Venture was a mere shadow of the cargo vessel it once was. The Cherry Venture was removed from the Teewah Beach in February/March 2007 because of environmental danger to the public. This danger was caused when the erosion and corrosion eventually left the engine exposed, sending asbestos into the atmosphere.
