A lot of the smaller Bertrams have petrol engines. It's not mentioned in our pathetic media coverage whether the boat was being refueled with either diesel or petrol! I'm guessing petrol and not much common sense going on here. Even with diesel refueling the rules are now to clear the people and block off access to the wharf in NSW.

Yeah oath im guessing your right with your speculation mate. I owned a 25 berty for two weeks and the tanks were rooted and leaked bad. If this one was the same they may have had some fuel in the bilge when it exploded.

Thoughts and prayers to those injured too

Looks like 9 News got the CCTV footage showing the moment it exploded, the video is in the link below. Pretty horrific and terrible experience for anyone, hopefully, all recover with minimal permanent damage.

Excellent response from the scruffy bloke with the tinny. We all need mates like that!

Yes, didn't he have his head screwed on. Tilting the outboard to spray water over the boat was excellent thinking.
