Hi again, Who said I hadnt been there? I have several times. The link says that there is tank water so I assumed you hadnt read it. Dont fish so cant help in that regard, good area for birding though. Also some good geocaches around if you're into that. Will take you to some
places most dont go. Have fun, nice area.
Cheers
Greg.

Thanks Greg, hopefully it will be quiet, we'll have a go at Salmon fishing and see about filling in some more info on the
places page for it. Have a good weekend. Kanga

G'day Kanga 1, don't forget the aerogard, the mosquitoes there carry
Ross River Virus. Yes, there is a rain
water tank which catches runoff from the thunderbox dunnies. The Martins Tank
Camp Ground is part of Yalgorup National Park and the Rangers will clean the dunnies and collect fees on a daily basis. The
camp sites are on slightly sloping ground amongst trees suitable mainly for 5m or under vans, though there is one flat area big enough to park a 50 seater bus. Concrete fireplaces are built in and you would be advised to take your own firewood. If you get the time , take a drive around the
Preston Beach townsite at dusk, the place is crawling with roos coming out of the bush to graze on the lawns.
Preston Beach parking area has flushing dunnies. The little general store is
well stocked and has a liquor license. Nice spot, but watch out for the over friendly mozzies and roos. Happy Days.

Thanks Farmboywa, had a feeling mossies would be an issue,
Preston Beach is one of those
places we just drive by on the way to somewhere else, its about time we had a decent look. One of the families coming with us have kids, so we'll go and
check out the roos in the evening. Cheers, Kanga.

went through there a few months back and thought wow
this is quite nice and planned a trip back there to
check out the
campground and do some walk tracks
unfortunatly the guy i went with was unable to walk and got held up so we went along the beach from timms thicket and missed it for fishing.
looks like a great place to go during the week - was so quite

Cheers get outmore, we have driven from Tims and White Hills down to Myalup a few times over the years, not a bad way to spend a morning before the wind gets up. We just keep driving past PB. Would have prefered a mid week look, anyhow we see how we go. Thanks again, Kanga.

Just got back, didnt catch anything
campgrounds are set amongst trees and suffer the dreaded posts between your tent and car syndrome but otherwise ok
no
water tank there

local store is a mini supermaket with alchol etc
plenty of walk tracks around lakes, bird hides etc
very chlled out place on the outskirts of
Perth, probabally busy in summer on weekends
