Preston Beach W.A - Fishing, camping and 4WD'ing

We were fortunate to spend some time with our chommies on the beach yesterday and today. How blessed are we with beaches and the outdoors here in Western Oz?!

Anyway, some pics below as usual, with a slight bias to shots of Eugene; can't help it ;-). Be thankful Karla wasn't there for the night either, else there would be nothing but photo's of them two, haha.

Dankie weer Nikolaas en Eliz'a vir die lift en saam-mooi, was great. Louis, as jy my volgende keer nooi dan braai ek jou vleis hoor broer :-)

Letting some air out of the tires before the trek up the sandy beach.

Looking North; the campsite was 9.5km's away.

Made it (5:30pm'ish), and the others were already fishing.



Louise'a wasting no time.

Cornelius and Nicky in the background.

The camp-site and the hill you had to climb for good mobile reception.



Eugene and I. Thanks Nicky for the snaps; appreciate it boet.



Alex arriving hours late. Ford Ranger; probably got stuck a couple of times, haha! 
Sunset.

The crescent moon was pretty impressive too. Darem 'n mooi plek die.

Weber Q's on; meat on the grill.



Alex and Louise being Alex and Louise....  :-)

Geno, my favourite seuna.

Stoutgat #1 en groter Stoutgat #2 (ja Louise, jy).

Kenny, sorry, van die foto's het bietjie ge-blur :-(


Eugene en van die ander laaities besig om te hengel.


The moon setting in the West. The image is very noisy due to the high ISO setting (6400) and old camera (hint hint Santa!).

The stars with very little light-pollution from any nearby towns. Nice.
The light on the dunes are from the kids playing with their torches.

Oom Louis onder sy Holden bakkie. Lekker.

6am This morning, waiting for the kettle to boil....

6:30 and the lines are in the water.


My trusty tent/swag (right). Had a mini heart attack when I thought I'd forgotten it at home! Eisch!


Eugene has now graduated to full solo casting honours. No more help from dad; big boy!
Ja, ek is moers-trots op die poeper.


Oom Louis trying his luck...



Oppak tyd en daai stoel wou nie saamspeel nie!


"All smile until someone loses and eye."
Ja, die prado was gelaai en Simone en Karla hang lekker by die vensters uit, toe vang die Ranger ons red-handed :-)
