Rusty Ship From 1911, That Even Served In WWII, Was Overtaken By Nature, Becoming A Floating Forest

While the SS Ayrfield was once a proud steam cargo ship, even used in World War II, its decaying shipwreck now stands as the famous Floating Forest of Homebush Bay. In the right conditions and under certain circumstances, ordinary things can transform into unique creations that leave people speechless. The power of nature, when left alone to do its thing, is awe-inspiring.

However, thanks to the initiatives to rehabilitate the area that began in the 1980s, and the economic boom brought on by the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney, Homebush Bay is now a popular commercial and residential area in the city. Parks have been established, and the initiatives helped restore the mangrove wetlands and saltmarshes which existed around the bay before its industrial era.
