HMAS Otway, Holbrook NSW

While making our way to Canberra, we stopped at Holdbrook to take a look at the submarine HMAS Otway. The Holbrook Council acquired the Otway when it was decommissioned and scrapped. The above-the-water section was rebuilt and is now on permanent display in Holbrook's Germanton Park. It measures 90 metres from bow to stern. Also on display, is an actual torpedo of the kind used by Lieutenant Holbrook during WWI.
