This is not like other typical abandoned places. This was not a failed business venture, or condemned due to condition. This is Yorke Island, and it was abandoned after the war, but it is so remote and difficult to get too, that it has barely been seen since the day it was last occupied.
I was lucky enough to get the chance to go and see Yorke Island - and let me tell you - I was amazed. Stepping onto the island is like stepping into a time capsule. Of course the guns have been removed, and also any of the wooden buildings, but anything that was cement still remains, and is in amazing condition.
I was lucky enough to track down an expert on this location, Catherine Gilbert, and she taught me so much of its history. This was really a dream destination for me and I am so excited to share it with all of you.
I hope this starts off your year with a smile and excitement for the adventures to come this year.
