Whalebone Flood Disaster Relief

The Whalebone Wharf restaurant is an icon of the Mid North Coast, NSW. Nestled on the banks of the Hastings River, the restaurant has held a place within the hearts of both young and old since it’s establishment in 1971.

On Friday 19 March 2021, with a restaurant full of diners, the police ordered everybody to evacuate due to escalating flood waters and record breaking rainfall. Within hours the restaurant was completely engulfed.

The effects have been absolutely devastating -the restaurant has lost everything and will receive no insurance assistance.  To rub salt on a wound, we had only just began to regain strength since the debilitating impact of COVID-19. However, we are determined to get through this!

We have created this page for anybody who can provide assistance , big or small. It will mean the world to us and the region of Port Macquarie.
