Note the PDF brochure above contains a typo. It refers to the Scottish Prince rather than the Cambus Wallace as the shipwrecked vessel carrying the cargo that was detonated at Jumpinpin bar. The story is covered in detail on the History page.
In fact the hull of The Scottish Prince lies in 10 metres of water near the Southport Spit providing a fascinating wreck dive on the Gold Coast.
