Description
The wooden single-masted cutter ‘Twilight’ of 24 tons and the ‘Catabunup /Bunyip/ Cartaburnup’ (no record of this ship in any of those forms), were both wrecked at Culver Cliffs in the early hours of 25th May.
Both vessels had been chartered by Mr Gilham to carry wire and insulators for the construction of the overland telegraph line between Adelaide and Albany (which set this project back by 6 weeks) and both parted anchor and were driven ashore.
The area was named Twilight Cove after the ship.
