Bubblings brooks, cascading waterfalls, and deep pools of crystal-clear water surging between the spaces and crevices of gigantic granite boulders surrounded by lush green rainforest - this breathtaking paradise is known as the Boulders to the thousands of unsuspecting tourists that visit it every year. But to the informed locals who know of its legend, this scenic spot has another more notorious name - The Washing Machine. It's a peculiar name that many outsiders like James Bennett of Tasmania, would have appreciated knowing. At least, knowing the name and what it implies might have made a huge difference before Bennett decided to venture into its depth completely unaware of what was waiting for him underneath.
On November 30, 2008, James Andrew Bennett, a 23 years old Tasmanian native came to the Boulders as a tourist. He was an experienced swimmer, a sub-lieutenant in the Australian Navy who had just been stationed aboard one of their minesweepers, HMAS Norman. That sunny afternoon, Bennett traveled independently to the Babinda Boulders, a famous tourist spot in Babinda. This is a small rural town south of Cairns, located in Far North Queensland, Australia.
