White Hill "Fishing" & camping - Dec 2020

In what is becoming an annual pilgrimage of sorts, the so called "Preston Beach Group" hit the beach again, and drove about 10km South to "The Spot". Eugene  & I arrived early, swam, dug holes in the beach and got sunburnt, and all that before the next person even arrived...

Sadly it was quite windy, but in the end were still 10 blokes, and we still had a good time.

Oktoberfest 2020 - Weimann Farm

Some quick initial photo's from the weekend, snapped with my new snazzy Canon RP full-frame camera. Looks good. The bulk of the images (100+) will be posted on Flickr tonight.

The Holland Track 2020 - Our second run

 A year on, with some better tyres, a lift-kit, drawers, awning extension and some other bits, and we tackled the Holland Track again. Just like last year, it was heavenly to get away from the hustel-and-bustle. Can't wait for 2021's trip...


Karin & Sandri at Wave Rock in Hyden, W.A.

Hippo's Yawn.

The start of the track, which is ~45km East of Hyden. We stopped for a late lunch snack.


Camp on night one, somewhere near Wattle Rocks.

Me with my birthday banana bread cake and candle :-)



It may not look like much now, when it is "dry", but this is the famed "Deep Red" mud trench.

Mitch getting some alternator clogging mud on the 200-Series. Well done mate, the video is awesome!



Emu...


Charging the battery,...the mud was messing with the alternator.
Thankfully the solar blanket helped a little.






A beautiful, healthy Thorny Devil on the track (we helped it safely across).

A Crested Bicycle Dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus)

An iconic stop along the track, where it crosses Mount Day road. Behind me is the Centenary market rock.
I am holding the book with our sign-in from 2019.



This old Isuzu ute is also parked at the Mount Day rd crossing.

Taking a break at the Gnamma Holes outcrop.


Karin and I at Thursday Rock, with the small rock cairn in the distance.


Our campsite on night-2, about 2km West-South-West of Thursday Rock.

At the Track exit, where it joins Victoria Rock road, and one travels North to Coolgardie.
