Not shipwrecked or mutinying, waving - from the Abrolhos Islands

[JohnM]

On the deck and off to collect my car, followed by a quick run to the Geraldton Museum before the dreaded 1500h close to get a last dose of Batavia history.



The arch re-constructed using the real stones from the wreck site.



Silver coins were strewn about on the sea floor.



Grisly skull.



Ship’s bell and cross-section of the hull.



And, to finish, some aviation history.



And that's it.

I've done one or two things in my monotonous and dreary life, but I have to say this was right up there! And it's on our doorstep!

A hidden gem!

THE END

Thanks very much JohnM looks to have been a great trip. The operators really seemed to have put a lot of effort into arranging interesting things for you to do.

Alas the food would have been no good for me as I absolutely hate the taste of crayfish.

Do you now intend to change your avatar for one with a crustacean ?

Nah - one with 6 crustaceans.

Things were super-slow and going haywire here a short while ago.

Another awesome trip and TR. Thanks for enlightening us and lightening the days.

I'll be going (back) over all TR threads a fair bit over coming weeks.

@JohnM well done with your latest TR. I can see you don’t sleep thru the whole night.
