Ep 267 | Searching for Fort Wellington, Abandoned British Military Outpost, Raffles Bay, Australia
May 20, 2022 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:14:08 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We leave Valentia Island and head through the Bowen Strait and slowly make our way to Raffles Bay in search of Fort Wellington, an early British pioneer settlement.
After a good look around we leave Raffles Bay and float our way around the peninsular to Port Essington.
We check out the cultural centre at Black Point and wait out the tide to head south to Victoria Settlement.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time.
Wendy and Magnus
