2021 October, comment from Facebook "Many have ended up in "Jurassic Park" for Maxis - the Whitsunday Islands taking backpackers cruising the islands. CONDOR, RAGAMUFFIN, APOLLO, SISKA, FREIGHT TRAIN, DRUMBEAT (was Congere, now Spank Me), BRITISH DEFENDER, BOOMERANG (was ONDINE Vll) MATADOR, BROOMSTICK, and sadly THE CARD & ANANACONDA ll - both wrecked - the same owner."
