We decided to go north these holidays and explore a bit of the coast that we haven't seen before. Just 90 minutes out of Perth is the coastal town of Lancelin which has great big sand dunes and low scrub bushes and lots of wind. Yes, you could pretend you were in Saldanha. It has the same fishing village feel and even has the fishy smell! We shared a huge house with another family and a third family camped down the road. Between us there were 8 children and the games and fun were endless. We took walks on the beach, bike rides, played non-stop Bananagrams and ate ourselves into a stupor. The wine and laughter flowed. There was backyard cricket and indoor Monopoly and of course, I ended up doing two scavenger hunts around the neighbourhood for the children.
The first two days were calm and warm and we hired sand boards to conquer the dunes. I even had my first try at braving the swell on my SUP board out on the ocean. By Sunday the wind had picked up for Rob to go kite surfing. On our return trip we stopped at another great camping destination called Moore River where the lagoon meets the sea. It is now on my list of camping spots to do next year.
