Another great job you guys. It's such nice place down that way. I spent a lot of time based at Southport working on abalone boats. We'd often leave from there and travel down along the south coast as far as South West Cape on day trips. The bay is pronounced as 'Research' by the locals. Did you notice the photo bomb by the shark at about 18:50 in the video!!
Hey Shaun it is a absolutely beautiful place we are progressively falling in love with Tassie and we are finding it hard to think about leaving this amazing island. When I was editing the video I did see the splash in the background but forgot to actually try to see what it was. Small shark but a shark no the less.
Great work by both of you. Loved the scenery, history and stories. Mrs S would be disappointed with the French pronunciation, but you are forgiven... I've just unearthed a book about some other French explorers who visited there in 1800-1804. They mapped a great lengths of the Australian Coast line. You've inspired me to read it thoroughly.. So glad that these stories are preserved in such out-of-the-way places. It is so important that you are helping share them to others.
Hey Marg, so glad you are enjoying all the stuff we are doing down here. We really struggled with that captains name and the names of the ships, Jeanette said if she had listened in school she may have been able to pronounce the french words.
I was just looking at that area on Google Earth, A new friend who lives down towards there, who also owns a mining claim at Sapphire, was just taking about that area, Interesting history, Thanks for talking about it. Sorry never lived down there , But a lot of family history around Burnie , Sheffield, The Nook , King Island, Railton Post Office , Late 1800, - 1914, First Major Land holders Most of western Burnie, ( Then called Emu Bay ) From 1853, Thanks again for vid, Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🇦🇺
