00:03The Maheno shipwreck lies on the 75-mile beach on Gurry Island.
00:10Maheno was under tow on the way to be scrapped when she broke free during a storm.
00:16She washed up on Gurry Island in 1935 and has been there ever since.
00:30Mmm.
00:36Built in Scotland's heart, the year was 05.
00:43A turbine-driven marvel, alive and so refined.
00:50Through Tasman Sea she sailed, a luxury so bright.
00:56From Auckland to Sydney, she chased the stars at night.
01:03Mmm.
01:07Speeding across the waves, with laughter in the air.
01:13For 25 long years she danced without a care.
01:20Oh Maheno, hear the whispers of your past.
01:26From cruising through the oceans, to memories that last.
01:34With every wave that's lapping, on Gurry's golden shore.
01:42Your story still is echoing, forever we'll explore.
01:49Mmm.
01:53When the great war summoned, you donned another guise.
02:00A hospital ship of mercy, for courage, love and cries.
02:07Through Gallipoli's harsh embrace, you battled through the night.
02:14Carried wounded souls to peace, in a compassionate flight.
02:21Mmm.
02:23In muddy French fields, where heroes clothed in pain.
02:28You brought them home to safety, through heartache and the rain.
02:35Oh Maheno.
02:37Hear the whispers of your past.
02:41From cruising through the oceans, to memories that last.
02:48With every wave that's lapping, on Gurry's golden shore.
02:56Your story still is echoing, forever we'll explore.
03:03Mmm.
03:07A time can be so cruel, your beauty slowly waned.
03:14By 35 they sold you, a relic now ashamed.
03:22Yet faded different plans, a cyclone roared that day.
03:27And though the Una tried, you'd never make your way.
03:35Mmm.
03:41Drifting through the tempest, with men still on your frame.
03:48You washed ashore in silence, a vessel lost in shame.
03:54But heroes set their camp, with spirits still so bright.
04:01Your frame may rust and weather, but you still hold in the night.
04:08Oh Maheno.
04:12Hear the whispers of your past.
04:16From cruising through the oceans, to memories that last.
04:23With every wave that's lapping, on Gurry's golden shore.
04:31Your story still is echoing, forever we'll explore.
04:37So here's to you.
04:39Oh Maheno.
04:41Your legacy's so grand.
04:44A journey through the ages.
04:48Forever you will stand.
04:51Forever you will stand.
04:51On the shores of Gurry.
04:55People visit you each day.
04:58Here on Gurry Island.
05:02You'll forever stay.
05:05On Gurry Island.
05:07In Queensland.
05:09Here in Australia.
05:12On Gurry Island.
05:14In Queensland.
05:16Here in Australia.
05:17Oh, yeah.
