COASTALWATCH | LISTS
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold and Australians all over the country are stuck staying in our homes for the foreseeable future, we thought we'd compile a bunch of things to check out and keep the stoke alive. Pumping tubes, classic videos, epic fails, goofy podcasts, and classic reading from Coastalwatch's archives.
We'll be bringing these out regularly as we need them through this unprecedented time for allof us and we hope there's something here for you to kill some of your time, and lift a little bit of stoke in you!
