Ben Buckler Point

This guide to Ben Buckler Point in Sydney chases four competing stories about who the headland is named for: a convict who came ashore around 1810, a bushranger hiding in a beachside cave, a homesick governor's private joke, and a ship named for an English shipbuilder. It follows the scraps of evidence behind each claim, from old maps to a settler's land grant. Stand on the rock shelf and weigh the four stories for yourself.
