It had been en route, under tow by a Marine Industries tug, from Port Adelaide to Middlebank Reef in Spencer Gulf carrying a 16 tonne navigation beacon. The barge r.

Evidence and further exploration
The coordinate, category and description remain tied to the cited source. Comparative oddness helps discovery; it does not add facts that the source does not provide.
