Over the past few years, the small town of Wittenoom has been visited by thousands of travelers. Tourism in extreme locations is well popular among tourists: places of volcanic eruptions, abandoned places and cities.
Wittenoom is located in the western part of Australia. People have long been resettled, and the last houses are being prepared for demolition. There are still lonely people living on the outskirts, but the mining town has long been removed from the maps and the electricity here has been turned off.
In the 30s, about 20 people lived here. A blue asbestos mine provided income for local residents. A school, cafe, kindergarten and gas station were built in Wittenoom. In the 000s, residents began to get sick and die en masse. The cause was later revealed to be air pollution with carcinogenic and toxic substances.
There are warnings for tourists all over the town about the mortal danger of being on the territory, but this does not scare the extreme sports enthusiasts. They like to take pictures with abandoned houses and cars, cafes and beautiful asbestos mountains.
A local resident who lives here only during the winter says that fifty cars of travelers arrive every day. They come with their entire families and pets.
