With the task of positive identification of the South Australian achieved in 2005, Ilfsac are planning to do a pre-disturbance survey of the wreck in 2006. Some Ilfsac divers are members of the Nautical Archaeological Society and the project has already been offered help and advice by professional marine archaelogists. It is hoped to be able to carry out geophysical surveying from the surface with point dives to investigate small specific targets around the main rail stack. It is hoped that there will be an opportunity for Ilfsac divers to gain further NAS qualifications during the survey and to encourage new members to join the NAS. The project will also seek to inform local people, especially schoolchildren, about the rich marine heritage of the Bristol Channel as well as providing more information for visitors to Lundy about the historic shipwreck that lies at the edge of the Stanley Banks.

There has already been some media interest with a short article in the Daily Telegraph (January 2005) followed by longer pieces in Bristol newspapers and Western Morning News (who used a picture of the wrong South Australian!). BBC Bristol area featured a 10 min piece on Inside Out Sept 2005.
