A call to all fellow shed lovers out there- 70kms north of Carnarvon in Western Australia lies a tiny little settlement of fantastic sheds!
The reason most people come to this area is to see the Blowholes; massive torrents of water forced through holes in the rock causing jets to spray violently upward. Anyway, this is not what interested me about this particular place; i just thought the campsite was superb. This is a guess but i think the settlement must have originally come about because of the nearby mining, perhaps it was built as accommodation for the workers? Today the sheds are all marked as individual units and seem to be used as camping shacks. The Aussies love their fishing, the men are real 'mens men' and these units seemed to be decked out to cater for them with the obligatory BBQ outside each shack, where the men can cook their catch. The thing that was so enchanting about the place was that it was very utilitarian, and everyone around seemed to be happy with that.
I absolutely loved this place.
