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 Australia’s 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.
