In perth,
Well....what a coincidence, so am I!!
Paul [AKA "LANDYACHT"] built a ripper little minimini for Mini-Stig some years ago, very basic square tube chassis, recycled wheels on the back and iirc a small bike wheel on the front.
Probably only took a couple of hours to put together.
Our son borrowed it at Lefroy and had a ball doing broggies on the salt lake, even managed to bounce off the side of some ones 4WD without any injuries.
A simple "fun" landyacht, not intended for serious competition wouldn't be too hard to cobble together.
At the moment - the two main venues for landyachting in Perth are probably a bit dampish [Lake Walyungup and Lake Gnangara], but if you have a big carpark or sports ground without too many trees around them [less turbulent air and dead zones] you are ready to roll.
Now - if you would like to borrow a Lefroy mini for a bit of fun - mine badly need some exercise!
As for building watercraft out of pallets and crates - been there done that with W.A. Scouts, @ Lake Joondalup, Lake Gnangara and several Swan-Tiki races.
Racing ride on mowers is pretty good fun too, as long as you avoid the dog poo........
