Two anchors glow in the sunset amidst the wash of a rising tide. These rust-pocked relics on Wreck Beach date from 1869, when a French barque called the Marie Gabrielle, laden with tea from China, was smashed on the offshore reef. Anchors were run towards the beach to secure the vessel so those on board could get away. Catching fast in the rock pools, the anchors remained and have so far clocked up an amazing 140 years. For all that time they have weathered the elements on one of Australias most notorious stretches of coastline. To me, they are symbols of great tenacity. They are hanging on forever, as if to remind us of the lives they saved.

Every effort has been made on this Gallery site to accurately represent the vibrant colours of Ken’s images. However, due to differences in computer screens and certain other variations, the images here should only be taken as a guide.
The colour and sharpness of a finished Ken Duncan Limited Edition Print are far superior to what can be presented on a small screen.
