[smerdon42]

I live 26 klms south of Bunbury so 200 K's away, I grew up in Perth late 1950's-1977 when I packed my bags and said goodbye to all of that went back for 2 years working 2009- 2011 up there and well it is just a hole, early 1960's to say 1972 Perth was a real treat slept with front doors open keys in your car nary a care in the world for a young chap then from about 73 onward things changed for the worst. My only other sister still lives there I do not know how she can put up with the rat race.

Got a mate who lives in busso know that area pretty well down towards yallingup Albany etc my brother lives in wellard

We are in Capel got Bunbury 26 k's North, Busso 27 k's South, Donnybrook 26 K's East and Forrest beach great fishing & easy as for a 4WD beach 10 k's West we are within walking distance of the Capel river with Redfin perch (good chewing they are) Trout & Marron there are rumors we have mud crabs in there as well eggs may have come down on the Leeuwin current but I have not seen any.
I like Caves road on the bike high speed twisties just gotta watch the wine tasters coming out of the wineries.
I did allot of pile driving on the Busso Jertty in 1992 refurbing complete sections was there about 3-4 months see out of focus pic of me slinging a pile, the tower & gantry behind me built by hand & a bob cat, the air operated hammer is 4 tonnes there was lots of chain block work.
My station was up on top off the gantry at the back on the air winch controlling the hammer, sitting it on-top of the pile after each hit was pretty rough if they dropped the hammer with out it sitting on the pile.
