Buccaneer Bay is a 1944 Australian radio play by Alexander Turner. It was one of Turner's best known plays.[2][3]
The play was performed again later in 1944 and then in 1959.
According to ABC Weekly it told the "story of the sinister happenings off the Australian coast in 1942, during the height of the Japanese threat to this country. Spies. Fascist agents, amateur detectives, smoke signals and bathing parties all have a part in the story."[4]
