The wreck of the car ferry/showboat/car ferry at Trial Bay on the NSW north coast, some 22 years after her 1972 grounding. She is rapidly returning to nature and can claim credit for extending the shoreline!
She was something that had only existed in books or old photos for me so to see her, even in this state, was quite exciting.
For the full story please see www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?210718.
Four Vessels including three vehicular ferries were being towed up the east coast of Australia in January 1972. When they broke from their moorings on 09.01.1972 and were washed aground on Main Beach at South West Rocks.

This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William J Hall collection. The Hall collection provides an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races.
The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly.

The power of wind and waves is graphically illustrated when this photo is compared to one I took in 2010 showing how much of this old ferry was exposed:

On 8th January 1972, three ferries broke their moorings in a storm at Trial Bay NSW. All washed ashore and were wrecked. The vehicular ferry Koondooloo is in the foreground, and The Showboat, Sydney Queen (ex - Kalang) is in the breakers. They were being towed to Manila for scraping, and were sheltering in the bay from the storm. A heavy rain shower is approaching from South West Rocks.
Time on Koondooloo is an artwork of texture, shape, and colour. It features two large air vents from the ship Koondooloo. The large cogs remind me of an old watch while the metal rust barnacles look like seashells washed upon the beach.
The Koondooloo started life in Leith, Scotland in 1924. She steamed around the world to Sydney in the same year and was placed into service as a punt from North Sydney to the city. The ferry was then joined by two sister ships the Kalang and Kara-Kara. Their time was up in 1932 when the Sydney Harbour bridge was opened. Retrenched from service the Koondooloo was then converted to Sydney’s first single decked show boat in 1937. Imagine love had bloomed on the Koondooloo. Sydney couples danced their way to romance on the decks of this versatile Scottish ship.
In 1985, at Trial Bay NSW, I had spent a night to remember camping in the remains of the ferry. I awoke to a bright blue sky, red funnel, and wanning moon from my dew covered sleeping bag. While translating the photo into this artwork I noticed Koondooloo was trying to tell me her story.
In the right-hand corner, the morning light has cast a shape, half a heart on the rusted roof. Fittingly the other half of the heart gives way to a bright moon and the colour red in the air vent. The show boat era was successful for Koondooloo and she was soon joined by her sister ship the Kalang on Sydney Harbour.
All this changed again in 1942 when she was commissioned for Army use in WW2. After the war ended she was converted back to a car ferry and used in the Newcastle to Stockton crossing. In 1972 the ferries were being towed to Manilla to be scrapped. They had been sheltered in Trial Bay to avoid a storm off the coast in January. Three ferries ended up grounded in the shallow bay, and the Koondooloo was washed onto the beach as her final resting place.

On 8th January 1972, three ferries broke their moorings in a storm at Trial Bay NSW. All washed ashore and were wrecked. The vehicular ferry Koondooloo is in the foreground, and The Showboat, Sydney Queen (ex - Kalang) is in the breakers. They were being towed to Manila for scraping, and were sheltering in the bay from the storm. A heavy rain shower is approaching from South West Rocks.
January 8, 1972 began the day of the ferry graveyard at Trial Bay, South West Rocks. The passenger ferry "Sydney Queen" and the vehicular ferries "Koondooloo " and "Lurgurena" were blown ashore by strong winds after breaking their moorings in Trial Bay. These vessels in company with another vehicular ferry "Kooroongaba" were being towed to the Philippines for scrapping. The "Kooroongaba" sprung a plate and sank in 65 fathoms of water off Crowdy Head, New South Wales. In 1937 Koondooloo was to become Sydney's first showboat, and was such a success that a second larger vessel the Kalang was refitted and put into service in 1938.
When war broke out, both vessels were requisitioned by the Royal Australian Navy and sent to New Guinea in 1942 and used as floating workshops. After the war, both vessels returned to Sydney. Kalang was extensively refitted and was once again back in service as an entertainment three deck ferry, cruising Sydney Harbour, Koondooloo became a vehicular ferry and carried traffic across the Hunter River at Newcastle. During the 1950's Kalang started to loose money so she was again refitted and it's name changed to "Sydney Queen". This was successful for a short time, but when business started to decline "Sydney Queen" was finally layed up in July, 1961.
In 1971 the Stockton Bridge at Newcastle was opened. The vehicular ferries Koondooloo, Lurgurena and Kooroongaba, became redundant and were put up for sale. The Sydney Queen who had been idle for ten years was also put up for sale, and all were sold to the same company and prepared for a voyage to the Philippines for scrapping. The rest is now history,
The Kalang, (Sydney Queen) was set afire by the owners in an attempt to stop vandals stealing everything on board. Today not much of the wrecks can be seen, but if there is strong winds and heavy seas, then parts of the vessels may become visible, just enough to notice the rusting structure that was once indeed a historic part of Australian maritime history.

6483. We have bona fide Sydney ferry enthusiasts here on this Photostream, but we need to keep a firm hand on them or things get out of control. What we are prepared to say here,because names are visible, is that these are the car ferries KALANG and KOONDOOLOO plying their route between Milson's Point and the Bennelong Point terminus, seen upper far right. They are almost in the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, under construction, and which will put them out of business once it opens in March 1932. We therefore think this postcard is taken around 1930, and we learn from discussion on the ANMM website that the steamer being towed past by tugs here is Burns Philp's passenger cargo vessel S.S. MATARAM.
MATARAM was sold to Chinese interests at Tsingtao in 1935, passed to Japanese interests in 1938, became KOWA MARU, and was torpedoed and sunk by the U.S. submarine USS WAHOO off Darien, China, on March 19, 1943.
Well, this is not good enough, what's the name of the tugboats here ? No, no, no, forget we said that, forget we said that. There are damned bona fide Sydney tugboat enthusiasts around here too.
Anyway, the ferries are giving right of way to the ship under tow. But what we are interested in is the great cruiser in the background at Farm Cove, which the ANMM thinks is HMAS CANBERRA [I] and the destroyer nearby, which is flotilla leader HMAS ANZAC [I], the RAN's only three funnelled destroyer. The cruiser now has her crane fitted, for the purposes of raising caged baskets of children high in the sky at children's Christmas parties aboard the County Class cruisers each year.
Just a joke. See Pic NO. 6450 here:

Sleeping in #abandoned #ferry at Trial Bay, South West Rocks, I woke up to this view of the moon and #funnel above me in the summer of 1985. Three ferries were washed up on the beach during a storm in Jan 1972. Searching for details I believe we were sleeping in Koondooloo. The ferries were being scraped in Manila and had been sheltered in the bay to avoid the storm. Not much remains in 2016.
