After the recent modifications to the camper trailer it seemed sensible to take it away for a few days to test everything. I decided to spend the weekend at Preston Lime which is approximately 200km south of Perth.
Preston Lime is a lime quarry. The location isn’t a designated camping ground, however the owner allows people to camp on his property for a small donation. You cannot book a site and there are no facilities.
It’s a very interesting place. The owner is retired and has a passion for collecting cars, aircraft and machinery. The royalties from the quarry allow him to indulge in his passion.
Just some of the cars. Several were ‘runners’ and being driven around
Over the weekend he also drove around in a Rolls Royce convertible and an e-type jaguar.

On the hill in front of his house is an ex Ansett DC3
The site also has an unsealed airfield beside the camping area. Apparently it is regularly used by the nearby Bunbury Aero Club. Bunbury Airport charges the club for every ‘touch and go’ on their runway. The Preston Lime owner allows them to use his for free.
