Preston Beach kamp saam ons vriende; ons is rerig geseend van Bo, en baie dankbaar.

It's been a while in the making, but we were finally able to get back to Preston Beach for some 4-wheel driving, fishing and beach-camping. Lots of small fish to be caught and Alex and Alex Jr had a good haul.

Nickey saved some poor Filipino souls who got badly bogged last night at 8:30 p.m. Half bogged in the sand, half in the water. Eisch! Their tyres were not deflated, and no recovery gear. They were fortunate we were camped within sight (~500m) from them.

Preston Beach carpark, where you deflate those tyres (but I did not initially let them down enough).
I was fortunate to get the awning and roof-rack done before this trip.

On top of the hill overlooking our usual spot.
I was super-chuffed the Trailblazer got up here easy-peasy.
Well, easy once Bul helped me out, and I dropped the tyres from 18-15psi.

A wider shot...

Our camp looking inland. The stars out here are amazing, and this with a half-moon in the sky.




Bul's fishing gear with the moon setting over the Indian Ocean.
What more could one want? To be here is just so relaxing and refreshing.



Similar photo to the one above it, but with the moon in the right-top corner.

The camp at ~5:45am, with people starting to stir. 

My drone looking down (South, South East) on our camp spot.

Bannister & Williams Day-trip

I've been down Wagin-way many times for work, but Karin and the kids have only heard about the sights and scene's, so we decided to head down that way (South East) for a day-trip. It was a perfect day for it; 27 degrees, sunny and mild.

A mandatory stop; the Bannister (not North Bannister) roadhouse. A1 !





Another great stop, about 35 minutes down the road from Bannister, is Williams. Stop at the Woolshed too.




Williams Nature Reserve, just North of the town. Well worth the visit and lookout.


Sorry about the artefact Eugene; I'll fix it soon.

Eugene mowing lawn for the first time

The time has come, as with generations before, for this Dad to pass on the mystic skills of lawn-mowing to his beloved son ;-) ...just like his beloved daughter has started to learn how to bake a proper Melktert from mum.

He did well and even managed to start the mower twice, hehe! Big boy!


Tomorrow we move onto edge-trimming...
