HMASS Swan – The wreck of the HMASS Swan is located in the waters off Dunsborough. Being the most accessible wreck in the Southern Hemisphere, it makes a great spot for diving. Dunsborough was first proclaimed a town in 1877 and until the mid 1950's was nothing more than a small fishing village with only beach shacks. Today, the town had grown and is known for art, music and plenty of market days. Paula Duggan
