trigger a grass fire look at that back there babe can you get that reques money everywhere everywhere we go the place is bured down we currently are so bloody remote so East Aram land you've got like nullen boy and townships out and around that area but West Aram land especially up to the point where we're going till you get to the point there's uh even at the point there's just nothing there's nothing compared to what's out at East Arland currently if something was to go wrong God forbid it's eat her time we're stock we're Cho full of water as much water as we' carry we've got our freezers are overflowing enough supplies to last us a month out here really let's get that safe I'm bloody excited it's going to be one El a couple of [Music] weeks how does one sleep when it's this bumpy [Music] 4 hours left it's a long [Music] way [Music] by crocodile crossing that's a worry he says there's a like what 4.5 M Croc that just crosses every day yeah we got to we just spoke to the ranger for about 45 minutes actually and he was just telling us all about the area and he says there is a 4 1/2 M crocodile that crosses up here every day and he's got three wives three wives and I was very jealous instantly you did not want three wives surely one wife is hard enough one pregnant wife is that well get skinny we made it look how close we are to the TR W car in there yeah caravan's on the back after we navigate this uh ridiculously narrow track find a campsite yeah the kids have been in the car for 5 hours we'll show you around a bit cuz this place is bloody incredible the problem is everything's so narrow there's old mate's house there's the crocodile's house in [Music] there [Music] welcome welcome to Camp mom's assessing the the river back there you don't like it huh yeah it's okay I'm just worried cuz we got the babies but that's okay whatever so there's a river just down here it's about 50 m away from Camp might able to say shot the bush down in here soan last Maybe it's 40 look at this again a black Crush pad bag ready Ellis do you want to hit it quick hit it go do the [Music] honors your face your face still all on there and we got our own shade tail she was very dusty on the way in very very dusty look at the wheels it's mad out here absolute mad it's as Wild As It Gets like literally like wild wild wild I'm going to set up camp going to get the boat off ready uh ready to go out fishing first thing in the morning and then uh think I might hit the cuz I'll get your bike off cuz it was a 6-hour drive in and I'm knacked up here it's turned brown this is our first thing that we have to do every time we pull up even before we pull before we set up before we unhitch before anything what is it though what's it called boom boom bik boom bik you tell Themis then you tell my boom boom B sell it to the people at home it's my boom boom bite my boom boom B my D okay baa [Music] hey so funny oh monkey say Monkey D over [Music] wow good jump mate right so Camp's all set up nice and squeaky nice and clean 's cooking some sausages used to have sausages I'm having a good good thick steak for dinner so I'll get these going while I'm getting the boat off I reckon I'll set the boat up and the charcoals can heat themselves up stand back stand back oh no fire now to get the boat off hopefully they're nice and hot by the time I uh get it off to do not cook some steak so we keep our boat trailer on the back car you got to love Australia dust everywhere always if you cook and steak with gas you're ruining it o so I got a thermometer in the back and that pretty much set when that thermometer the internal temperature of the steak hit 52 it'll be about me and I'll sear it and then pull it off I'll have a rare [Music] steak [Music] are you ready for [Music] this nice Char good one time not Dow not bad good that is [Music] yes one I look this right there that's going to make it it me morning been looking forward to this for a while now boat's in the water it's been a while coming up the middle there wasn't much water bloody excited I heard the fishing's good up here see how we go e finishes homeschooling she's got a zoom call for with her massach she finishes at eight8 I'll go pick her up and I'll bring her out too and then quite possibly I'll over shave Jesus Christ the idea is to be homeless not look homeless See's on the [Music] water also if you see any Crocs while I'm launching the boat just shed out would you apparently they spotted a 5 metery here the other day which I would rather not get eaten by that would be rather [Music] unpleasant you just have to take my word for it let's go catch it there looks to be massive mackys oh I soon as I turn the camera around there's massive mackys in the water their fins are like I've never seen that before they're like cruising around like sharks oh and look at this Sun's cominging Up over Anum land oh bloody H welcome to Heaven hey the sunrise is going to have to wait hey there's actually Macky busting up all around me I just got in the water I'm literally look there's the boat ramp I'm just going to drift over this PCH and I don't know if you can see in the water but see those door those fins I think they're their tail fins they're flapping their tail fins up one that just splashed here there's a tail fin just there it's just that they're not interested in my popper I don't think I really hope that shows up on the camera I really really really really hope cuz that's I'm going to um put a big big paddle tail on or cuz they're not really enjoying my POA they're like half striking it but that popper is like my lucky charm pedal tail it is AR I've made the decision I've made the [Music] call Aran I should anchor up hey instead of trying to drift over it I'll anch her up paddle to [Music] [Music] I'm going to get a I'm over it I can literally see them still just swimming around with their freaking fins out of the water and they're not hitting my L last time I was in this spot at two Stoners within 20 minutes they mustn't be very hungry this morning are maybe Eevee will help it a lot here she is hello I finished school you finished school did you learn anything no no let's learn how to catch fish I'm going to have to use my muscles here cuz the boat's bogged I can get anything bogged the boat the truck I'm talented look look at the size of it trust me huge there somewh no he's going to jump in the you can still sa holy back I don't really want to go back around it was huge he was bigger than the bar day bar even got to see it I don't even know if would have seen it on the camera it was a monster that was a Tyrannosaurus rex that wasn't a crocodile around at the there I don't know if you can see all them but I don't think they're mackerel but they are refusing to touch anything we flick at flatly refusing it's almost like they've got an higher IQ than me and they know what I'm up to do you know what it's definitely they have an higher IQ than me what do you reckon what are we putting money on please be Macky mom will love me if I get her a Mack I don't know but I'm getting take in my l oh no le you got fish a little bit

him or are we throwing him back baby I keep him cuz this might be the only one huh little f s 60 59 CM macki he's only little he's only a Bubba just get eaten by a Croc I guess I'd rather be here and not catch fish than somewhere else and not catch fish we got a little Macky but we'll just keep flicking till the sun goes down and then conveniently time our arrival at home for when the babies are in bed I've been thinking about it all day that is bloody cool EV you got to get one on the board they're all around us they're everywhere they're doing like circles off my who one just busted it up right in front the how are we not catching anything this is a joke I love Aram man but seriously I think these fish are smarter than me which isn't hard definitely not bloody hard cuz they're literally bloody everywhere we've flicked everything we have at them we've flicked Plastics we' flicked bait we've flicked lures we've flicked poppers we've flicked everything at them and not interested in anything that we're doing if only I could get in with a spear gun better to teach him it's not cheating that's how I've caught all our fish ever I'll get eaten by a Croc re and especially after we've seen that stonker this morning we're going to keep flicking till that big bad boy goes down then we're going to rest up and what do you reckon we go for a full drive Adventure in the morning eeve SS good day go Bush bashing in the truck get some more Pinstripes let me try and catch something else you're wasting my time huh do you want to rule him in yeah yeah I'll let you
