We visited Grand Bruit on a bicycle/ferry tour of the south coast in august 2005 while it was still alive and beautiful. Stunning scenery. Nice to revisit. Thank you.
My grandmother was from GB, and my sister lived there for about 30 years, before resettlement. I was visited just after Fiona. Damage to that whole coast was extensive. Beautiful place to visit and forget about the world.
As a descendent of Grand Bruit Billards, having visited there once in 1978, this video is an amazing peak into my families past. Thank you for sharing!
My Grandfather was from Grand Bruit. He met my Grandmother there. She was the teacher and moved to Grand Bruit from Woody Point to teach school. I would love to go there someday and take my Mother's ashes to Billard Island. It was so nice to see that his house is still standing and the Church too. Beautiful video.
Thank you for this wonderful video. We visited Grand Bruit in August '23 to nice weather. We took images, but this video is a great memory of an incredible place that few will ever visit. We did meet one former resident that came back for the summer to fish and hunt. Trip of a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing the video, my parents house is the blue one beside the wharf you were tied up at. The government bought out the residents about 12 years ago as the cost of providing services was extremely expensive and resettlement was agreed upon. There are many small communities all over Newfoundland that went through the same issues over the past 60 years or so.
Hello James, My Grandfather was Albert Wesley Billard 1899-1997 and he lived in Grand Bruit until the 1920's before moving to Detroit with my Grandmother, Winnie Halfyard 1900-1957. She was a teacher in Grand Bruit after she moved from Bonne Bay / Woody Point, NFLD.
Another awesome and very interesting video indeed!!! Love the drone photos....such beautiful scenery you have it all your videos. I look forward to your next video. Stay safe!! xo
Another fantastic video. Loved seeing the pictures and tour of Grand Bruit which was my mothers hometown. My mother was a Billard so it was pretty neat to see the old house sign with a Billard name on it. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing your next video.
Thanks Laurie! Sadly we lost our youngest sweet baby Chloe 3 months. She chased a mountain sheep and fell off a cliff. She was the happiest girl that day running over a huge meadow. We weren't even aware that there was a cliff. We found her with the GPS tracker. She loved to run and she is running free forever now. I am still heartbroken. J.
@@hakluytsadventures Oh Judith, I'm so sorry to hear this. How traumatic and my heart broke just reading it. Sending all my comforting vibes up to you both.

My daughter Patricia Holmes did her first two years of her teaching career in this beautiful quaint little town.

What a beautiful place - can't imagine how hard it was for the people that lived there to abandon this little village.
14:37 MT. Agree with Laurie - each one is better than the last. Nice job!!!
What a breathtakingly beautiful place, to bad it has been abandoned. Hope your winter was to your liking..
Beautiful video!
Thanks! Beautiful Burgeo and Grand Bruit!❤

We are happy to hear that our little video brought back memories. Thank you for watching! Next episode of Grand Bruit is coming this Friday!
My mother was Billard too. My Grandfather was from Grand Bruit as well. It was nice to see the Billard name again.
Spectacular - each episode is better than the last! I thought you had 4 dogs?
