Lake Gairdner SA airstrip?

I am considering observing the Speedweek event at Lake Gairdner in late February (weather permitting). A good mate has fabricated a very interesting high performance contraption with which he intends to set a speed record (or die trying). As I have not yet visited that particular part of Australia, and would like to see how his machine goes.. I thought I might aviate out for a gander.
Perhaps someone on here may have some local knowledge of places to land near Lake Gairdner.
I have heard there is a strip at the Iron Knob Pub, but maybe there is something closer to the lake?
Any relevant advice greatly appreciated.
I know it gets close to 50 degrees that time of year, and any rain will cancel the event.
