| Lonely
Graves in Remote WA |
 |
A
sad reminder of those gone
before. There are no words to describe the Wittenoom tragedy. I count
myself as fortunate to have seen this place before it finally died. I
visited many times for work with the Commonwealth Government and
enjoyed thos trips immensely. I have revisited several times over the
years and watched the sad decay. Yet I cannot reconcile the huge human
loss caused by the asbestos. Wittenoom is one of my top 5 places to
visit, but it also one of my five places to avoid.

East of Norseman |
|
This
remarkable area north east of Norseman was where hundreds of kilometres
of old railway lines once existed. Now, only the sleepers remain, along
with the ruins of dozens of old campsites. Definitely worth a visit. |

of trees blazed by Frank Hann. These images were provide to me by Ian
Elliot and are an important record of this historic explorer, who is
largely unknown, but responsible for naming many features in WA. |

The remnants of
the old railway between Port Hedland and Marble Bar. Basically damaged
beyond economical repair during World War 2 and unable to be funded by
a cash strapped State. |
