It is said that when it comes to beaches "West is best". It is also said that you cannot come to WA and not check out the surf. So we thought we would investigate, not that we would know any different if it was complete rubbish. We gingerly booked ourselves into a residential surf camp for a few days in Lancelin. Now I know I have claimed before...

With Betty returned to us, all welded and plated, we made an executive decision not to have her reexamined, mainly because we didn't think she'd pass! We hadn't went the whole hog with the rust repairs (very very expensive), so had went for a bit of a ********** job, which would pass her in any interstate examination, but not this one!

Lancelin is a special place and I wont forget it in a hurry. it is essentially a fishing town, 1 1/2 hours drive north of perth. The population I reckon is is 100!! and most of those are fishermen. Each morning at 5am the bakery doors open and start their pie selling. Simultaneously over 30 posh fishing boats leave the harbour in search of good...
