A backyard clean up in a quiet coastal Victorian community led to the discovery of a huge sea mine dating back to World War II. The 250kg explosive, which was found on a Barwon Heads property earlier this month, has been handed to antique dealer Ian Royce. After the war, many of the bombs were decommissioned and re-purposed as backyard incinerators.
Territorio della città di Geelong, Comune Barwon Heads. Un residente mentre riordina il cortile di casa, tra il materiale vintage trova una mina di profondità (250 Kg) risalente alla seconda guerra mondiale. L’uomo carica in auto la mina e la trasporta al suo negozio di antiquariato. L’uomo specifica alla nostra fonte che tali ordigni nel secondo dopo guerra sono stati svuotati e utilizzati come inceneritori da cortile.
