Good Call - A Billabong Surf Film By Toby Cregan, Shot In Western Australia 2021

Leaving the safety of the land in Esperance, Salty, Cam and Gido headed out for the un-surveyed waters off the archipelago of the Recherche in Western Australia's South. Home to aboriginal tribes for 40,000yrs before the sea levels rose to heights that restricted travel by foot to the islands they soon became a navigational nightmare for any sea voyager. In 1830 a bloke by the name of John Anderson sought refuge on one of the islands. It was here that he began to cause trouble for the local aboriginal mobs along with passing ships. Charged with the murders of 2 aboriginal men and children and the kidnapping of their wives was just the beginning of the story of Black Jack Adder.
