Return to the West CoastAuthor: jawapro

Turkeybrain wasn’t back at Uni yet - so wanted to head West again like we did last year. Well, apart from the part where his car got towed home last year anyway.
So we loaded up Oscar and Turk’s Laser and headed Westward. It was raining when we left - but by the time we reached the coast it was fantastic.
We camped at Trial Harbour again - and it’s a fantastic little spot.
We spent 4 days poking around the West Coast looking at old mining stuff etc. Zeehan and Tullah are both awesome little towns.
This little fella was at Tullah. A little past his prime - he is now just a decoration. They do still have a little engine that runs the circuit around the town - Wee Georgie Wood, but sadly he wasn’t running while we were there.
Some of the stuff at Zeehan. We spent hours in the museum there.
The old Iron Blow minesite at Queenstown.
The enterance to Climie’s Track. I haven’t been along the track in almost 20 years. It’s officially a no-through-road now, but that just means it’s pretty hairy. It’s enough to make Roothy and crew take things seriously - so you know it’s a fairly major track.
And we finally conquered the Road to Nowhere! Last year Turkey’s car broke down near the start, and I had to tow him out. This year we made it all the way through.
The trip was successful in other respects too - Turkey found and collected a body and a half for his Landrover while he was up here. Now he just needs to work out how to get it all home.
