The resting place of a 116-year old shipwreck has been exposed on Woolgoolga’s main beach, following recent heavy surf.
The wreck of the Canadian-built vessel, “The Buster”, has resurfaced for the first time in more than a decade.
The ill-fated 300-tonne ship had docked at Woolgoolga to cart timber bound for New Zealand.
History tells that the ship ran aground on the beach, after breaking from its mooring during a storm.
Nowadays, the hull of The Buster is only uncovered by similar weather events.

Was at Woolgoolge 27/april 2009. The Buster had recently been uncovered .The remains were projecting above the sand by about meter and quarter . Most interesting .
Request that visiting public do not take pieces as the site is a marine heritage and a part of our history.
