I lived there from 87/88. Pub was a focal point in a town of 45. Bought a few burgers from Doc Holidays. Played cricket on the gravel oval. Gorges & pools were great to look at & swim in. In summer, avg temp was around 48C. Couldnt take a shower during the day as the cold water was too hot to stand under. Had to wait for evening when temp dropped. Dealt with Lang Hancock & co. The airport is overgrown & hard to distinguish, like the old pub, now gone. Lots of interesting times, people & events.

Aussie Humour at its best. Who ever wrote that COVID sign was clearly being a troll 😂

Glenn Reedmans "passing another fox" is becoming legendary pastime. Almost like "where's wally", except where's Leo been, never thought I'd see that in Wittenoom. 3 minutes 58 if you didn't see it

It‘s hardly a ‚forgotten town‘ it‘s world famous for its history.

To all travellers please don't go into old now abandoned town site blue asbestos mining town of Wittenoom w.a and my father was a deputy shire president for the shire of Ashburton and late premier Ernie Bridge declared the town closed down from abandoned asbestos industry in Wittenoom and killed 2000 mine workers and townsite

I've stayed in the caravan park there a couple of times in the past it's a pity that you didn't get to the end of the gorge from memory it was very nice good to see the place again thanks Ron

Glenn Reedman's trade make sticker. Never know where you'll see one. Legendary!

Thank you. Lots of memories for me. I wish you had been able to get to the gorge - it was so beautiful in the 60’s and 70’s when we swam there. The water was so blue! 😂

heaps cool ! incredible country ! 🏜️🌄🛻📹😎🤙

Beautiful country

Tragic story, but Thanks for taking us along the ride - From Orlando, Florida, USA

Nice clip mate. Wittenoom has a fascinating, yet very sad story. My old man used to work on mining trains up that way in the early 80's, between Newman and Port Hedland. He spent some time in Wittenoom when it was still a going concern, despite the asbestos mine in the gorge being closed back in 1966. The pub was still open in 1995, and they only cut the power and phone lines in 2006.

Unique Aussie landscapes……never get bored with its topography.👍

Interesting place, worth a visit. Great clip 👍🏽

Good to see Ol' Mate Glenn Reedman's "You are passing another Fox" sticker on the wall at

Proud of ya Dad, you’re famous everywhere you go 😂

I used to live in Newman. We used to go out to Wittenoom and had a big chunk of the blue asbestos on a shelf for ages, before we really knew how dangerous it was. My sister was born in Newman and we have a trip planned back there in October. How bad is the road into Wittenoom? Might take a drive through it.

I loved going to wittnoon.

Does anyone still live there? I noticed a vehicle parked in a car port at
