Episode 1
This episode takes place on the shores of Eclipse Island, a small, uninhabited parcel of land 17 kilometres south of Albany. Situated at the mouth of Memang Koort, the Menang Noongar name for Albany’s welcoming natural harbour, Eclipse Island was once a brutal playground for gangs of sealers and later a secluded home for lighthouse keepers and their families.
