Preston Beach | Overnight Trip From Perth

In this episode, we see the arrival of our mate Harrison (Harry) and his new Land Rover Discovery 2012. We take Harry on a short overnighter trip close to Perth!
During this episode we put Harry's Disco to the test and show you some of the cool things that are close to Perth for those who want to get away for a short trip on the weekend. Preston Beach has plenty to offer with it's easy beach driving, it also has some challenging dune climbs for the more adventurous sorts out there :)
We drive down from Perth which takes 1 hour and 30 minutes (127km), we travel along the beach but have to make camp sheltered behind a dune system due to the 40kmph winds (sadly no fishing). Once we pack up and leave camp the morning after camp, we drive the beach down to Myalup.
This trip is definitely a great trip for those who wish to make a quick and easy getaway for the weekend....we will be back!!
If you have any questions about the trip, send us a message!

Always a good idea to read the signs that tell you to stay out of the dunes

Hi Strolling Hillbilly, Thanks for taking the time to watch the video :) That was our first time down to Preston Beach, we will definitely be going back in the future. Have a good one and enjoy the weekend! - Shaun

Fellas. As a local this video is fucking painful. If you're going to destroy dune vegetation by camping illegally then at least air down properly.

Good job boys, entertaining video!

[@matthewlucas6588]

Hey mate nice video. is camping still approved at Preston?

[@OverlandingOutWest]

Hey Matt, Basically Preston is a 'all night fishing' kind of area. But we always take the approach that if we are not trashing the place and camping in sensible areas approach then we are happy to take a risk. - Damien

Hey Jaxson, Thanks for watching and subscribing, I have the TJM recovery hitch that connects into the tow bar hitch, with the attachment you can connect a D shackle and snatch strap. www.tjm.com.au/recovery/recovery-gear/hitches-shackles/tjm-recovery-hitch-867tjmrhitchab - Damien

[@OverlandingOutWest]

Hey Damon, We both got caught up doing things with the family for the long weekend. Hoping to get away in a few weeks though. Thanks for the invite though. - Damien

[@JJO117]

I didn't know you are allowed to camp there.

[@raypayne2350]

Your not

[@statesmanls1]

What pressures were u on

[@OverlandingOutWest]

Hi StatemanIs1, Initially the Land Rover and Hilux were on 15 PSI and the patrol was on 18 PSI rear and 16 PSI front. I lowered the Patrol down to 15 all around to make things a little easier after getting bogged. Thanks for watching! - Shaun

[@NLJ1953]

Worst example of sand driving tyres to hard

[@benluffman]

Let your tires down and I'll sub

[@OverlandingOutWest]

😅 deal, we've come a long way since those days. But, in our defence, we thought 18psi was low enough, 12 should have been the go. - Damo
