Cossack & Wickham, Point Samson

Hi, a little day trip yesterday to Point Samson, Wickham  & the historic abandoned town of Cossack.  Outside the mining town of Wickham is this display of an iron ore transport truck

I am half the size of this tyre


Grae underneath the engine bay, see the huge tyre on the left.



Looking over Wickham


Iron ore carrier ships lining up on the horizon 


Honeymoon Cove

School house in Cossack, now a historical town, last resident left in 1950.


Custom house


Views of the courthouse



Inside the Couthouse


I walked down to the beach, sunk about 6 inches, more like quicksand than normal sand!




Cossack graveyard, graves of early founding families- the name William Shakespeare comes from the family estate in England "Shakespeare " Surname Hall

I showed a photo before of the schoolhouse- this little girl was at school there, & one day stepped on a rusty nail- she died of an infection from the wound, tetanus (lockjaw)
