EXCLUSIVE: An Australian man has created his own Outback outpost 11,000 miles from home on the Shetland Islands – and he even has WALLABIES. Tasmanian Dave Kok, 42, has built his own Aussie oasis on the Scottish archipelago after deciding to settle there when he was travelling Europe. Now Dave lives with his Shetland native wife Louise, 38, and two daughters Caitlin, 11, and Ruby, aged four. Social care worker Dave came to the islands in the late 90s and since 2016 has been building his own watering hole choc-full of Australiana on the island of Burra. Dave’s place ‘The Outpost’ is a renovated wooden porta cabin filled with Tasmanian beers, Tim Tams, books on bush craft and Aussie Rules sporting memorabilia. Locals use the Outpost as their local bar and meeting place, as the nearest pub or café is three bridges and three islands away. And visitors can now enjoy the Outpost’s wallabies Ned and Kelly who David brought to the island this winter. Based on the Shetland Islands latitude the marsupials could be the most northerly of their species anywhere on the planet. Dave said visiting Australians are often surprised to find the antipodean paradise in such a remote location. 16 Feb 2018 Pictured: Pic from Dave Donaldson/ Magnus News Agency.
