Roaming Roy Fills A Gap In History - Wreck of the Dunbar

When people visit Sydney (NSW), one of the most popular things to do is visit the Gap at South Head. Yet when Roy visits, he’s looking for more than just a spectacular view. The Gap has played an interesting role in Sydney’s history. Not only has it been a beautiful place to visit, it has been the home for military men, and a place where ships met their end, crashing against the jagged cliffs. One of these wrecks, the wreck of the Dunbar is now commemorated at the Gap itself, with its anchor on display.

He was very sad recently, because his favourite netsuke went missing, and he had to use another to hold the pouch in place so you have searched hard to find another similar to it. He will be so happy when he sees it!
