Radi se o udaljenom gradu Kosaku na zapadu Australije u kojem su ljudi živeli i radili u industriji bisera, ali ga je vremenom populacija napuštala i odlazila u velike gradove.
An entire Pilbara township where Western Australia’s pearling industry originated is on the market, with state govt hoping the new owners will breathe new life into the historic ghost town.#Cossack, which is 1480 kms north of Perth was estblished in 1863.https://t.co/qXd5wxWkGo

Industrija bazirana na prikupljanju bisera je dovela do osnivanja grada 80-tih godina 19. veka, a 1895. je imao više od 1.000 radnika i 57 plovila za "lov na bisere".
Ipak, grad je napušten pre 70 godina i ima samo dva stanovnika, Risa Osterlanda i njegovu partnerku Šenon Ervajn koji poseduju kafić. Gosti su im ljudi koji posećuju obližnje staze za hajking i plaže, ili pak oni koji dolaze zbog jahanja konja.
Cossack, the first port of the north-west of Western Australia, has a long and interesting (and troubled) history. It's now a quaint place to stay, and a popular fishing spot for the locals. There are not enough photos of it on Commons yet. pic.twitter.com/JoKKupmigp

Ceo grad je u vlasništvu vlade, ali je ponuđen na prodaju bez cene. Vlada želi da dobije ponude onih koji su spremni na razvoj turizma. Rok za prijave ističe 20. novembra, preneo je Kliks.
