The mystery of Mystery Bay
The discovery of a holed fishing boat on rocks at Mutton Fish Point (also called Corunna Point) on Sunday, 10 October 1880, alerted the world to one of the south coast’s most curious mysteries.
Before then, Mystery Bay was called Mutton Fish Bay because of its plentiful abalone (mutton fish). It became known as Mystery Bay after that fateful day and the mysterious disappearance of NSW Mines Department geological surveyor Lamont Young and his four companions. Young had been sent from Sydney to survey the new Montreal goldfields between here and Bermagui.
All were believed murdered but the Police could not determine where it occurred or by whom. The bodies were never found. The mystery remains unsolved.
