Between 1863 - 1864 while surveying the coastline the Colonial Govt.'s hydrographers found the 62-ton ship SELINA here and promptly named the place Wreck Point.
In fact the SELINA was wrecked here twice. First probably in August 1847 , not long after sailing for Sydney on her maiden voyage from Pine River , north of Brisbane. Inexplicably the ship was found washed up here on 20th October 1848.The Selina ,reportedly the first ship built in Qld.was refloated 3 months later. One man stayed to pump out the hull and keep her afloat, but in about 6 weeks, exhausted and out of food he abandoned the ship and Keppel Bay reclaimed her.
Enjoy the view, but take care on the slopes.
