Hi Seabreezer'z,

We are going to Lancelin for about 3 days..
I have not been there for 20 years..
so any advice on were to eat and what to see..would be good.
All we will be doing is taking a boat, fishing and dive gear..
no kitesurfing this time around..

I have booked a unit on the foreshore over looking the water


Cheers Gyp's

I stayed at the beachside caravan park in the summer of 97/98. It was awesome!

Had lunch at the tavern there a couple of months ago. Great food and beer was reasonably priced. A nice change from $9 beers in Perth. The place hadn't changed much in the ten years. They built a new beachside park and have signs about kitesurfing.

Well I wear a frillneck out on the water (kk)..so I don't die of cancer..
so I will at least take the fly thingo's and see what happens

I have been on the gibb river road...and would have given my errhhmm..left ear loab for a fly thingo...as you could not see out of your eyes...two at a time, .... for the bush flies wanting to make a meal out of your eye socket

but yep they are not high on my dress sense code

Not kidden!! The decor of the joint has come back into style at least twice since it was built. Gotta love that chunky mission brown brick!!

Some of locals look as though they have never left fromn the initial opening party, but a good vibe and nice spot for a beer or three. Reminds me of a smaller version of the Quokka Arms.

Ah memories I was one of the founding members back in 19......um a long time ago.
Back in the days of the old Honda Elsinore CR125.
(I was in the juniors then and wasn't allowed to ride anything bigger)

Yep I have enjoyed a beer or three at both too and they do have a similar vibe
but the Quokka Arms (Rottnest Island Hotel now according to the RIA) is not quite same as it used to be since they got rid of what was officially know as the Rotunda Bar (Chunder Bar) in the beer garden, stopped having live rock bands there and tried to go more upmarket (on Rotto yeah right) to lose the Blotto on Rotto image.
Where as the Endeavour Tavern is still the same ole Lanno Pub.

Go across to Lancelin Is. lie on the beach, swim and snorkel around the reefs. Look out for terratorial sea lions and inquisitive dolphins.
