    Thanks for the video. As Sandgropers from the Pilbara currently touring NSW, we felt very reminiscent - even for the heat and flies. The Coss in Cossack rhymes with 'moss' (short vowel, not long vowel sound). If you want prawns, the fish place in Exmouth LIA is better. Stay safe.

    I don't get why you travel the Pilbara in the wet season. I worked up there in late 70s and it gets HOT.
    Interesting to see how different some of those locations are now.
    Cheers , safe Travels.
