HISTORY OF COSSACK

We drove out to Cossack to walk the township as along the walk the buildings were posted with very informative posts telling of the history.

We started our viewing from up at Tien Tsin Lookout of the restored buildings before we walked through town.

Part of the police station.  Some of the timber part has never been rebuilt.

The General Store

This now houses a cafe (lovely coffee and setting out the back with thousands of midges biting) and we just missed by a couple of days art exhibits of local artists..

This was the Courthouse which is now a Museum and full of local history.  The court-room was still set as such. Loved the old letter-box at the front.

We then hopped into the truck and took the drive tour out to Settlers Beach, Reader Head Lookout and the Local and Asian Cemertary.  Standing up at Reader Head one can imagine back 150 years ago how the sailing ships would anchor in the sheltered bay and then transport ashore supplies for the local people to the wharf then load-up the wool etc. to take for the farmers of this area to Perth for sale.
