Default Re: Dicky Beach banana grower

Just found some pics in my photobucket of why Dicky Beach is called Dicky Beach.

In the late 1800's a steamer called the SS Dicky ran aground and they named a beach and then a suburb after her.

The pictures show some council workers trying to add preservative of some sort to what's left of the ship so that the touist attraction stays a little longer.
