I know it's spelled wrong.
Could come from the word "Wieszać" which means "Hanging", but most likely comes from the word " Wieszcz" which is a seer, diviner, soothsater, prophet. It also means an inspired poet.

Gday Todd..I live on the Gold Coast. Try National Archives of Australia..My families imigration records are in there. May add to your family history!!
After that there are some genealogical sites on the web that can help with your name.

I am Polish I live in Poland and I would say that your orgin name should have been "Wieszczyk" and it is from word "wieszcz" - means more or less "poet". I hope you will find sb in Gold Coast with polish roots. I met some australians and they impressed me. ...good luck
