JURIEN SHACKS
I've heard of a few people who have been to beach side shacks and seen some around Perth outer metro areas in the past but never the ones a bit further up north around Jurien Bay, until Friday...
A blown up picture, " i have it behind the dunnie door so it reminds me of the good old days" was the comment, and what a picture it was.
A little bay about 14km north of Jurien which the name I can't remember, with about 4-5 shacks nestled together and this one that was partly owned (and council rates divided up, $900 p/a), protected by the SWesterlies, looked like a fisho's heaven!
I heard a couple of envious stories from Big Al's past there and would've loved to have visited there.Now they are all gone and so is the councils rates?
Have YOU been to a shack in the past and what incredible stories do you remember?

Sandy cape
Sounds like sandy cape or the shacks just north of Sandy cape , you can camp up there now but most ( all???) have been removed , demolished or bulldozed ( on CALM's orders )
So now they put in a toilet there and make you pay $15 to camp there , it was heaps better when there was NO TOILET and the camping was FREE, now you can't drive on the beach , befor you could and there was no problem from the cars till calm took control and said it was bad for the vehicles to be on the beach .

Sandy Cape
Yep that's it, Sandy Cape... Just north was Green Heads? This was a little bay with nice clear water and reef and crays and cobbler and huge whiting and....the list goes on and on. One owner actually blew up a little bit of reef so he could moore his boat on the beach! The bloke I know had a hell set up, Engineers you know.... A kerosene fridge,water tank inside just incase,roasting oven and the biggest mistake.... a flushing toilet because we all know that if there's no basic ammenities like that there won't be a woman in sight, usually. (no disrespect to women)
Gone are those days and it's interesting to hear about CALM Flywest. Thanks for your informative comments ATB MAXY
