Port Davey

 On the second last day of our Australian journey, we took a single propeller airplane into one of the most isolated parts of Tasmania (and the world) --Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour in the Southwest Conservation Reserve.  Most people don't go there this time of year but there was a break in the weather so we went for it and chartered a plane with Par Avion.  We just had to see the remote places where Critchley Parker Jr. dreamed of making a Jewish refuge and where he died for the cause in 1942.   I've never landed on a deserted runway- kind of eerie that our only connection to the world was through our pilot Hugh's radio.  Critchley Parker Jr. and Caroline Isaacson proposed this site to Steinberg when the Kimberley plan was stalled due to Australia joining WWII.  Here are a few shots from the day including a visit to Critchley Parker's grave site which is so secluded in the bush that we almost missed it. We shared this amazing experience with the famous Tasmanian landscape photographer, Martin Walch.
