Hi one and all, I have spent plenty of time in the Kimberley and my next mission is to find the location where Dick Smith retraced the history of the Coffee Royal, does any ony know the co ordinates of the plaque Dick Smith left there. Interesting story- history
Ross, Hope your well, yes I have tried FB/messenger but no luck. He has a good documentary on it which I have watched and Google earthed shots etc. so I am in the area. Also been onto the heritage council so working on it.
Hi Spike, I watched the doco. Reminded me of the Leyland Brothers with a chopper. I can see why you are doing it – very interesting piece of Kimberley coast history.
What about contacting the ABC. They may have some archival info that helps. They would probably be keen to do a story on your exploits. When are you heading there? We expect to be that far west in the 2019 dry.
Hey Spike, All4Adventure did an episode on this a few years ago and made it to the plaque. They are pretty responsive if you email them with questions. https://www.all4adventure.com
