Named in 1942 after Ed Musick, a famous aviator who visited New Zealand in 1937, Musick Point is the headland of the peninsula that forms the eastern shore of the Tamaki River in Bucklands Beach in Auckland. Also known as Te Waiarohia, the headland was once a Māori stronghold. Today it is occupied by a golf club and the Musick Memorial Radio Station.
Broadcaster Dudley Wrathall of 1ZB recorded a visit to Musick Point Radio Station in 1946, including emergency calls, marine, aircraft and meteorological communications, and other sounds of the busy radio service centre.
