136. 80 Mile Beach

NO WHERE IN PARTICULAR






ONE WHEEL DRIVE – ‘KISS’


Frank Wood (father of TJM Southside proprietor Dave : valued supporter of “The Carty Boys Tour”) is the bloke who was instrumental with our travel plans, mainly with respect to car modifications & caravan knowledge, along with other snippets of advice. Franks most advocated principle is what we came to know as the “KISS PRINCIPLE” – Keep It Simple Stupid.

On 80 Mile beach there would be literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of four wheel drives & quad bikes (crickey, do the west ozzies love their quads). Not this bloke. As soon as I spotted this I thought of Frank & the KISS Principle.



80 MILE BEACH CARAVAN PARK


Top spot. Can you believe that at our previous camp this bloke had me talked out of stopping here. Whilst we’re onto Frank another of his pieces of advice for our trip was this; “if they tell you not to go there........Go”
