Preston Beach

Preston Beach is a nice spot to go for the weekend and do some beach driving. We got some rain during the weekend, was great fun driving on the beach in the rain.

                                                  

It was also high tide, so not much room to move around

 

Once the weather cleared a bit we headed back to the tyres for the kids to have some fun

                                                                          

Preston Beach is a small town located in the Peel region of Western Australia just off the Old Coast Road. It is only about 1.5 hrs out of Perth. Head South past Mandurah. Click on the link to see how to get there.

Bream Fishing in the Swan River Perth

Decided to try some Bream Fishing in the Swan River.

                                   For Bait we used Mullies and had a lot of fun

There must be fish here somewhere

                                   

                             Under the trees and close to the bank are some great spots

                       At last, nice size too, a few of these and we would be okay for lunch               

So exactly where did we go. Have a look at the link below, find a spot between the trees and remember the bream tend to prefer the shallow water amongst the trees and grass

Good Bream Spot

Wedge Island

Wedge Island - A great spot for a day on the beach and some beach driving

about 150 km north of Perth and 52 km north of Lancelin, its worth a day out

                                                                       

head up the Dune for some awesome views or just  enjoy the sand and sea

Never see one of these before - strange worms on the beach at Wedge Island. Wonder if they any good as bait?

                                                               

 

                                                                          

So how do you get here - From Perth just head north on Wanneroo road past Lancelin and onto the new road that goes past Wedge Island

Stockyard Gully Caves

Head out to Stockyard Gully Caves

At the right time of year you may even catch the fields in bloom

Sandy Cape is a small camping spot 14km north of Jurien Bay. It is located just behind a small sand dune, which opens up onto a magnificent beach. Good spot to spend a day.

                                                   

To get to Sandy Cape drive through Jurien bay, along the Indian Ocean Road. 14 kilometres outside of Jurien bay turn left onto a white track and follow it to the end. 4WD will be required on some of the softer tracks and beach area. 

Another side trip worth planing on your way to Stockyard Gully Caves is a drive through the Lesueur National Park.

How to get there - head North out of Jurien Bay and turn right into Jurien Road. At Cockleshell Gully Road turn left and carry on straight until you see the sign for the Lesueur senic drive

You need to pay a minimal entrance fee and sign in before you take the senic drive

and then onto Stockyard Gully Caves.

                                                                                                               

A bit of local widelife 

The flies can get bad in summer, so be prepared

And here is the entrance to one of the large caves. You can walk through to the other side, about 300m all the way through. It get pitch black, so take a torch.
