The 16 meter long trawler Toni Kylie capsized and went aground off Tweeds Head, Australia.  The Toni Kylie had crossed over the Tweeds River Bar when the vessel lost control and went broadside to the waves.   The trawler capsized and drifted back towards the harbour.   The two crew on board remained on board until the vessel was pushed against the rock wall.   The men jumped into the water and were able to make it ashore aided by local surfers.  One man suffered a broken arm and was taken to hospital.  Later that day, a strong swell help breakup the Toni Kylie spilling debris and diesel fuel.  Authorities state there is no possibility of salvage.
