Trip to Yule Island in June 1976


On the beach facing the ocean

 

I've just found these old and long-forgotten black-and-white photos of a trip with Brian Herde to Yule Island. I've put them up on the Yule Island facebook page. Some people may recognise themselves or someone else from forty-five years ago and get a kick out of it.

 

One of the sons belonging to the expat fisherman. Yours truly on the right

Yours truly waiting for his lift back to the mainland

Our mode of transport

Returning by lakatoi to the mainland

At the fisherman's family's house

Brian Herde on the far right with his back to the camera


We had put up our little tent inside the disused tennis court. Next morning we found ourselves surrounded by a bunch of youngsters who belonged to an expat fisherman's family living up on the hill

 

Brian Herde would be ninety years old this year. Where is he now?
