The Wreckers




Built in 1911 the 2000 tonne TSS Wollogbar. One of the fastest ships in Australian waters it was capable of reaching Sydney from Byron Bay in little over 18 hours. In 1921 she ran into difficulty just off the coast of Byron, wrecking her props and unable to hold anchor in an Easterly gale, She ran aground and torn apart by the storm. 
Today she lays the foundations for some of the areas finest sandbars. 

The lovers' land bike crew, took it to pieces last night.
