Jim, I like your videos and your attitude. I like this video too. The reason I don't go traveling in Australia anymore is because of the unhygienic state of the place. Between the shit-tickets, nappies, beer bottles and coke cans, along with the music and generators, I just can't stand being in the bush. Luckily I have enough land to keep myself entertained here so I have no incentive to leave. Why would I ? Humans and their detritus are everywhere - except on my place. Instead of me going out people come to me for camping and since I put a strict limit on the type of people I am assured that there is no societal waste left to destroy the nature.

I last visited Whroo in 1987, since then I have become aware that I have distant family buried there in the Cemetery, Matthew Pope (19 June 1896) and his wife Bridget Pope (May 1915). My Grandmothers Great Grandfather was John Pope who arrived in Victoria aboard 'The Royal Charter' on her maiden voyage in 1856. John Pope was Matthews Popes older brother. The Pope boys came from Padstow in Cornwall.

Jane and Thomas LeRoy lost 2 sons in WWI apparently, (No 207, Private Alfred LeRoy, 60th Battalion) KIA at Fromelles 1916 and (No 2412 Corporal Thomas LeRoy, 46th Battalion) KIA near Villers Bretonneux on 5 April 1918. The LeRoys came from one of the Channel Islands originally apparently. The last resident of Whroo was a Mrs Jack LeRoy, she appears in a photo from 1955 in a book titled "The golden years of Rushworth and Whroo" by Joyce Hammond. Thanks for putting this Video up. The Cemetery at Whroo looks to be far better cared for then when I was there in '87, my memory of it was of it being over grown and appeared totally neglected.

Found my first nugget not too far from the cemetery... not playing x marks the spot but i will say within a 5 KM radius :) quiet hacky and its host rock was Iron stone. Pre carona i could camp out there for days and not see a soul, these days it seems its starting to get a bit more traffic. Special place. Would love to see you do a video on Blackwood, Eldorado or Harrietville (my other top 3 places to visit in vic) All with lots of history, relics and shallow graves.

Jim thank you so much for the story. In 2009 my wife and I drove 30 mins on winding dirt roads out of Gembrook to inspect some Crown land for sale in Beenak. We arrived and found a lady standing by the road next to her car. We asked if she was here to see the land and she said no. Barry's out there now... We were confused and started to wander into the forest to find Barry. He was under a large fallen tree with his butt up in the air. When he pulled himself out he explained he was digging for old bottles. He then went on to tell us about the two murders that had been committed here and there was a post office and a house, We nearly bought the land but it was impossible to get building permits there. We also got the weirdest feeling from the forest before I even met Barry. Very cold, dark, wet, closed in and the trees were terrifyingly large. Not surprising it could send somebody postal. Again thanks for the video. Great story mate 👍
