Bob,
It's a misspelling of Wickham Point, and is just the regular place where
Wandering Tattler hang out all summer. Look for Victoria Terrace on the
Caloundra map (SEQld), on the rocks just to the north of Kings Beach. Barb
Dickson said there were four there a couple of weeks ago, and she said it as
though it was not unusual.
The easiest way to find them is on high tide. And yes, it's worth visiting
at the moment because not only will you be likely to see the Sooty
Oystercatchers, but also the ocean is teeming with terns.
Cheers,
Jill
