Emu Point, float^, and named not after the bird, but after a wrecked ship once upon a time there that was beached on the sand bar at the point just by where I was to scrape off the barnacles, and left by the crew for some carousing in town
….. only the tide came in and the ship had drifted
away? by the time they returned, and come to grief .

Port Stephens so lovely also
