Pearling Stories from the Edge of Australia
from Wildlife Quests · host Will Routledge
In this solo episode, I share my raw, real story of how I stumbled into the mysterious and beautiful world of the pearling industry. From having no clue about oysters to spawning them by hand, I take you on my journey to Beagle Bay a remote Aboriginal community two hours north of Broome, Western Australia where I lived and worked for eight months on private land.I talk about the unexpected path that led me there, the gritty life in a hatchery, unforgettable moments at sea aboard a pearling ship with Clipper Pearls, and the wild freedom of fishing in untouched waters. It's a story about saying yes to the unknown, learning fast, and finding adventure in the most remote corners of Australia.Follow me on YouTube for full videos of my travels: https://www.youtube.com/@itsawildlife4999You can reach out to me on my blog if you have a story you would like to share, or if you are interested in learning more about my journey or my guests: https://wildlifequests.com
