Wild: Stories from Western Australia's past

In the early days of Western Australia's settlement, the new coastal settlements and towns relied heavily on the coastal mail ships that delivered the mail, brought the news, and did so much more. These ships provided the only way these towns could communicate with the outside world. The coastal shipping service continued on after the telegraph line was put through, and after other options for transportation, road, rail and air, became much more reliable. This includes the story of those days, and of some of the adventures of those early ships.
