The Omeo was abandoned and sank after parting cables and being driven ashore at Coogee Beach on 11 September 1905. The 64.9 metre iron steamship was at anchor with a cargo of coal. It had been built in 1858 at Newcastle-on-Tyne, UK, by Leslie & Co, and was registered in Melbourne under the ownership of Howard Smith & Sons. Two anchors and some coal samples have been salvaged from the wreck site. Latitude 32˚06.334 Longitude 115˚45.692
