Graveyard on an island north of Derby

[Nightjar]

During my time working on Koolan Island and crew member of vessels, I was shown an island to the north of Derby where many divers were laid to rest.
Ted Egans song brings the memory back of the many divers who lost their lives when like today cyclone Ilsa crossed the WA coast.
