Cossack

Spent a morning exploring the heritage buildings in Cossack, the North West's first port. In the 1880's pearl fields were discovered and the town grew, though it only remained a town for 50 years as the site wasn't suitable for large ships. Hence many of the buildings are still in good condition. The kids (Jackson especially) enjoyed the old gaol house, particularly when they worked out they could close and bolt the doors. Grandma got locked in nearly every cell and there was tears when we finally had to release her (from Jackson who enjoyed the idea of keeping her locked up). The schoolhouse interested Emilia but Jackson had a limited attention span for old buildings and preferred the hairy caterpillar Emilia found.

I was praying he didn't break this water pump.

It made a great noise too when it was banged back down - very entertaining!

The very interesting caterpillar!
