• Some thing just went pop! Lancelin

    8.–10. feb. 2025, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    So it was time to leave the amazing Cervantes! We couldn’t have been more than 50km from Cervantes and the Mystery bus let out a great big pop , first we thought it was a blow out but after checking all the tyres they thankfully were still there! After investigation we put our bets on it something to do with the turbo! Again! OMG! Anyway we crawled into Lancelin making a sound like a truck had arrived ,moved sites after a few hours due to a bunch of ferrel kid decided to start chucking stones at the seagulls sitting on top of a permanents home and after appearing from the bus window shouting at the kids like some old lady !instead of trying to keep a lid on the old principles like” I don’t do animal cruelty “ and we were willing to cause WW3 with the waste of time parents who sat on their asses doing nothing , we opted to move and bingo we bagged a sea view site instead.
    Update - The turbo boost valve had popped out of its position , Jorden from Lancelin Mechanical came to the rescue on “Sunday” and popped it back!

    Wangaree, as Lancelin was initially called, was once a tiny fishing settlement and is now home to over 700 people. However, this number significantly increases on weekends and school holidays when Perth residents head out of the city for a more relaxed beach lifestyle.
    The beach shacks give Lancelin a distinct holiday vibe, although some are replaced with modern double-storey holiday homes.
    Lancelin Sand Dunes hold the Guinness World Record for the largest convoy of off-road vehicles organised by Lancelin District Community Association (Australia) on 15 October 2016. Lancelin also holds the World Record for the longest windsurfing race at 13.83 nautical miles.
    Another record for Lancelin is that the world’s oldest message in a bottle was found 30 km north of Lancelin in January 2018. A scrolled note was inside a bottle thrown overboard from the German ship Paula in 1886.
