Ep19 | Crack Shack | Aurora Australis |Wedge Island Fly attack | Pinnacles Desert | Cervantes |

Have you ever heard of the Crack Shack? Well neither did we and therefore we had to go and explore. HOW DID THESE TRAINS GET THERE?
Jenn and I were blessed with the Aurora Australis at Lancelin and then the next day we were attacked.... Yes attacked by millions of flies at Wedge Island. This was the strangest thing.
We hope you enjoy the episode!

Untill recently when they built the coastal road, the only access into these larger lobster fishing towns such as Cervantes, Jurien, Green Head, Cliff Head, Dongara etc.was from the brand highway, along gravel roads, but in between these towns there were many smaller settlement's from Geraldton to Perth sometimes just a few miles apart but at least every 10 miles and the only access was along the beach track, but you could drive all the way to Lancelin where the bituman started and we did, without the aid of 4 wheel drive, to get to Wedge Island from Lancelin, it was either wait for low tide and drive up the beach and that was the quickest taking 18 minutes, or drive through the desert of large shifting sandhills, and local knowledge was required to navigate these , especially at night, the desert was also the naval bombing range, and it was not uncommon for a wayward US naval ship bomb to lob next to a shack in Wedge, as a means of recompense for a damaged shack they would helicopter in a couple of pallets of sea rations for the locals, which were more than appreciated for the inconvenience of being bombed by the US navy, i became bogged one late, cold, dark night at the pinnacles while driving home to Green Island a couple of miles south of the pinnacles from Cervantes, and that is where my daughter was conceived 43 years ago😏but i digress, i have lived and fished in just about every village and squat along the coast, as well as every island group of the Abrolhos, and those days of visiting friends in squatters shacks, before the government bulldozed every last one down, although they missed the trams, were the best years of my life, where the beer flowed freely, and clothes were optional 💫🙏💞

This is amazing! Thank you so much for your comment. Cant believe everything was made obsolete by the government… Also the digression is appreciated!

I remember eating at that lobster shack! Did you guys get some food from there? What a contrast from the beautiful aurora australis then to the fly-pocalypse 😂
