If you take the date off the Google Maps feature, you may be able to relate it to a cyclone, and from there, you might be able to find out.

2018 google maps but mentioned here in 2017

As we approached Cape Capricorn we sailed on the inside of Rundle Island. While doing that we spotted a wrecked Catamaran on the rocks. Not sure if it was a navigation error or a boat that broke away in the cyclone and got wrecked there.

That's all I could find online.

Google Maps shows 2018 for me and they are showing me 5 years ago building a chicken coop. The date means nothing.

Not much of it left, is there?

@ Bleemus: did you never build a chicken coop? If you can find a prior picture, w/o the wrecked cat, and with an accurate date, you still might be able to approximate when it went up. Someone will know, but their lives have moved on, hopefully.

I built the coop over five years ago. The Google satellite photo is showing it under construction so obviously old.
