Beach Shacks

Silverback file:
These are some derelict beach shacks at a beach on Quobba Station WA. It’s one of those huge Australian cattle stations. It has about 80km of beach frontage, with a couple of designated campsites open to the public.

It’s totally off-grid, so you need to be completely self contained. There are some blowholes and a famous snorkel spot to test out tomorrow.

Beach shacks like these represent a time when families who regularly went camping at the beach knocked together a shack out of any old materials they had, as a holiday base. It was a time before council regulations, with no power, no water, when you could just dig a pit toilet.
Such days are generally gone. These persist mainly because they are on private property.

Those whispy, little clouds were the first clouds we had seen for over a month! The temperature maxed at about 28 and an overnight low of 18 degrees was predicted. In the evening we both wore hoodies. Not Enzo of course, he doesn’t generally feel the cold like us! Though he does have a knitted vest if nights are going to be sub zero.
