Thanks, guys, for weathering the heat and wind to show more of WA. I'm really enjoying it!

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

More to come! Stay tuned. Thank you 😊

Great episode! The two men that were put ashore as punishment by Pelsart were associated with the worst massacre in Australia’s history after the wreck of the Dutch East Indies ship ‘Batavia’. Batavia’s Graveyard is an excellent and informative publication. 😎🐸

Ooooo i will have to look out for that Thank you 😊

Great video. So interesting. Sound is so much better!!! 😀 John's mic works best as his shirt doesn't rub on the mic flapping in the wind. So much better. Thankyou for sharing your trip. ❤️

The Batavia shipwreck of the Dutch East India Company was an infamous story - some really bad things were done by some of the crew. The commander of the rescue ship executed the ringleaders and those two guys you mentioned were left on the mainland as punishment, never to be seen again. There are books on the subject but it is a harrowing tale.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

That's really interesting 🤔 Thank you

We missed Kalbarri due to a cyclone 3 years ago, closing all roads in and out. Looks good now 😊

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

We would like to go again when it's not so hot. Thanks for watching 👀

Port Gregory (Pink Lake) was shelled by the Japanese Submarine I-165 on 28January 1943

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Wow we did not know that. Thank you for the info and watching 👀

[@AdventurzAU]

@@onlyleavingfootprintsit’s an interesting place, and a nice quiet caravan park to rest up at.

The Boer War was fought in South Africa and it is pronounced the same as ‘bore’. Yes Jon is right, 60000 mostly young Australian men died in a senseless WWI where there were no good or bad guys, just a bunch of leaders flexing. All up maybe 15-20 million people died in that war. WWII was quite a different story as there were clear ‘bad guys’ . Pretty sad that us humans still kill one another on an industrial scale for no good reason.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Wow that's insane. The world would be so different if we had no wars. Thanks for watching 👀

[@firebirdtravel]

[@onlyleavingfootprints]
