Further to http://stevesshipwrecksite.blogspot.com/2009/12/discovery-of-wreck-of-centaur.html, about 300 people attended an emotional memorial service held aboard HMAS Manoora on 24th September. Relatives of those who perished on AHS Centaur during World War II threw floral wreaths and heart-felt messages to their loved ones at the site of the shipwreck. For the first time in 67 years, family and friends were 2059 metres above the hospital ship's resting place, 48km east of the southern tip of Moreton Island, off the southern Queensland coast.
