Random Passage, film set

The next day we drove back to Bonaventure which is a typical out-port community with an active fishery, and finally on to New Bonaventure. We stopped for coffee and a snack in a converted school house and walked about 1/2 km to the film site.
This site was constructed in 2000 for the filming for the international TV mini series, "Random Passage". Here you get an opportunity to imagine the life of the people in the early 1800s in a typical fishing outpost. We had an excellent guide to show us through the houses, church, school, gardens and fish flakes. First she gave us a run down on the story line, then in the pouring rain fed us interesting tidbits in each building. The tour was approximately 1 1/2 hour in length and we left with a deepened respect for the people of Newfoundland.

Making our way home we decided to check out two more coves. Champney's and English Harbour. English Harbour seemed to be the end of the road but we saw a narrow gravel path leading out of town toward the sea so we decided to see where it led.

Now, to find out what was at the end of the road check the next blog.
