The Sygna Shipwreck at Stockton Beach

Hi guys

These photos were taken over xmas last year, and as it turns out, processed in March/April this year, but for some reason I thought I hadn't finished processing them and so just left them.

I went back the other day to finish them, found them already done, and so here they are.. finally.

Over the December 2009 Xmas holidays, my family and I went camping at Birubi Beach, North of Newcastle. It was our second time there and I’m starting to get quite a nice collection of photos of the Birubi Beach area.

This time around, Jacob and I went on a 4WD adventure along the sand dunes on a 3-hour shipwreck tour – taking in some sand boarding, the Tank Traps, Tin City, and of course the Sygna Shipwreck.

The Sygna was a 53,000 tonne Norweigan bulk carrier than ran aground on Stockton Beach on the 26th May, 1974. It’s been decaying ever since, and there’s really not that much left of it! So check it out while there’s still something to see!

Thanks for looking.
