28:15Now PlayingSixty kilometres off Western Australia’s coast, lies an archipelago of 122 islands, scattered through the Indian Ocean. Shipwrecks litter the waters…. human bones litter it’s soil.
It’s a treacherous place, but a beautiful one. There are no palm trees, hotels or restaurants. The howling southerly wind keeps the surface of the islands bare. But under the water…it’s a diver’s dream.
The islands have a deep history. It’s one of the first places in Australia seen by European explorers. 150 years before Captain Cook arrived, early European visitors marked the archipelago on their maps as a place of danger.
These are the Houtman Abrolhos Islands - a rugged paradise.
