Camelback Sam on the Left there's one called shot hole canyon and one called Charles knife Gorge and then you sort of get into X path you do your thing you go to cape range and then he forget about him and then you drive past him on the way out again ago I didn't do those tracks so you can't tell you van down him they're both about I think 12 and 14 KS off the highway a bit of a rocky trail nothing too bad you know not real full drive just a bit lumpy but the scenery check it out Hey his next level like this is not far from the coastal sort of bliss of cape range national park like where you camp on the Ningaloo reef but then you can drive into this gorgeous and escarpments it's pretty awesome ah it's well worth a look I'm going into shot old Canyon now it should only have a K or two to go and I'll get to the top and show you what it looks like well what a spec if you we're here at like 8:00 in the morning and it's already stinking hot so I'd make this like an early morning or an arvo mission but fiery out well worth it sunset in here will be epic you know that's where we drove in so awesome so it's 6:15 a.m. in the morning and I got me and I got three kids we are going out to a place called Charles knife gorge so like I showed you yesterday there's that shot hole Kenyon was pretty sick spot but I thought all right gonna be better at sunrise so I'm gonna head out there and do it with - this one in the copilot seat because get here for 7:30 I am his life like in a bear with a sore head [Music] I'll be the closest have ever had breakfast to a cliff edge but it's pretty damn awesome how much do I have more than you so what's your favorite part about Exmouth Jack oh really it's pretty damn cool in it what's your favorite part about X myths a scrambled egg cpu it's a big win for me what's your favorite part about it [Music] well we haven't been at the cake round yet so sorry can that might turn into their new favorite but well I've actually I feel like it's got everything you need what a really cool vibe as well good grocery stores good caravan park in the RIC heaps of cool beaches you could drive on them make a fish you can swim the water temp is wicked the reefs like literally 5 10 meters offshore there's Turtles there's fish there's heaps of cool people everyone here's on holidays and even the locals like to live by their on holidays anymore and he can go ah like I think a lot of people miss where we are now this Charles knife and shot old Canyon sort of get forgotten about because there are too busy going on the roof repairs there for fire oh and don't forget the whale sharks it's plenty well sharks here everywhere so you can go and dive with them but ah love it we've spent a week here already we're gonna spin for night select a range I think I might come back if I could probably another week stick by so many different fishing spots and yeah down what is it this stairs well anyway love Exmouth make sure we check it out on your travels and give yourself plenty of time you got to spend more than a few days here don't just rush through it it's up somewhere I could live I think summer might hurt me when it's 47 48 degrees [Music] just make sure when you get in Exmouth park up and go and hit the info center there's a brand new one over the road from the ROC caravan park but I got heaps of cool stuff and you need to read up on this to find out what's in the area heaps of brushes in there there's an aquarium in there it's 20 bucks a head for adults and we're lucky enough that again the whale shark festival love is on this weekend so last time we're here babe it must have been the same weekend two years ago because I remember being on our whale shark or my whale shark dive and all the crew were getting ready for the gala dinner and that's tonight and that's tonight sorry is today I was doing it well shot too but that's pretty cool they turned the local 40 over into like a big being stand with a couple of stages for live musicians stuff for the kids to do so anyway it's good in a fun run there's a fork a fun run that I'm gonna do even though I'm super unfit but yet seems to do good weekend so check it out and um we'll read through this stuff and we'll show you a good week in expert always look at in the real estate office this morning so many like 390 graves perhaps but here I've just signing okay it's pretty cheap probably better we go i me chef hats back on if you haven't noticed it's the same at home anyway oh my god he makes that life I never cook but he does to a mean curry so anyway um like I said we're no chef but these are easy camp meals for us in the van and we were ant about and people seem to love it they go away tell us what you ate and how you doing the van so it's raining people think when we live in a caravan that we actually affect me in some places yeah we we just like you do it home right well check it out you got a full kitchen bar an oven in this fan but the barbecue outside got a microwave that cranks full-size fridge and freezer and like peeps a bench prep space so yucky can just do whatever you want at home you can store heaps of fresh fruit and veg in the fridge it's big enough so yeah you can live like you do at home it's piece of cake and there's enough grocery stores around the country even in remote parts like we're in Exmouth now just to RJ's next to each other and so you can always get whatever you want anyway chicken thigh green beans this is the hot tip you got to get under these things they're like a dollar fifty you can and it's a green curry paste and you can also get a yellow curry massaman curry all of that you chuck the whole tin in mix it with a tin of coconut cream plus throw all your other bits and pieces in and now simple get some naan breads put them under the grill for a bit I'll get cracking slave labor as usual and I'll show you what it looks like when we're done and I'll love can give you a taste tester I'm gonna make it so hot your lips will be it's gonna take you to our state lisboa green curry burning room bye [Music] that's another morning mission I've only got the one with me today okay you made a little bit anyway we've come down to ten beats in XP which is any short drive or some sunrise but there's also another special treat the only yeah that's coffee and the van opens at 6:00 a.m. it's not often you find that and it's good coffee too so have a look every see the van set up it's called the short order local and then you're right on the beach but this sunrise coming up here is going to be in bloody oh are you for don't open your prezis it's pretty cool Charlie hello first birthday and Coral Bay second birthday and karijini yeah third birthday on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and necessary your fourth birthday in expats become a bit of a birthday tradition for kiddies we always at paying tax every morning it's pretty we just use this one because I thought I got a microphone anyway another flip shot sorry 20 reckon size you have the first 100 number three for the died [Music] all right some pretty cool for us today I'm gonna go on a fishing mission out of Exmouth we go and row and fishing for blue button so if you don't know what they are they are I think they're called tusk fish or black-spotted puffer fish is their name there's a few different varieties but they get the nickname blue bone or bluey because when you do fill them up like this skeleton inside is Bravo it's pretty insane and they are one of the best eating fish that I've never tried my own so we're land-based we're flying the drone and we're dropping baits on their heads it's a bit of a knack you've got to finesse with them you can't scare them off too much and you can spot these things from the sky looking straight down in the water because of the color or so you can see a lot of fish but you can tell a big bluey because it's just bright blue when you're looking down on the zone pretty special had a bit of a sneak peak runner yesterday got a couple of small ones are there some guys out there I'm gonna take you in there and see if we can't let it be force of a buoy let's go we've got three rods set up this time causes out there doing a bit of a recce I'll show you a bit of the gear we use you can have I can have all sorts of different setups if you want as long as you got a tunnel on your really nicely yesterday we were using this year but a little 7 foot stick to the Shimano overhead it's probably 400 meters a line on a something 65 pound braid you want something that's got a good gear ratio to to crank it back in because if you don't get a fish you're gonna kill your whole bait back in 200 300 plus meters so you want something that can crank it be the line in with each turn more one that I use I've got a 13 foot arrow I bought it used to be 13 foot I snap the tip off in the car door so now it's 12 foot with a new tip on it but I run a Shimano I'll tell ger 14,000 it's a spinning reel but it's also got a baked bait runner function so it's perfect for this because I can hook it up run it on bait runner this way and it'll pull itself out no dramas I don't want to drop it off the clip I just crank the bait run a function and put tension on it pull it off the Clippers own works a treat here's the drone coming in so you can use phantom 3s phantom fours piece of cake as long as you have these legs to put it on this one phantom4 make sure you disable the census oh they got down with census and it might they given why hit him or play with him and it might just keep Lauren and drop you in the drink so make sure you disable that but couple of big blue easy out there boss second time round out it I want to get one of these big horse on the beach man this is cool number three for the day third fish we got a good spanger in the bucket already rather nice bluey look at that there's some big stalkers out there I'm gonna go game right now power Z hundred fifty go with the drone the drone clip that I use on our travels these boys invented it invested in it mainly underwater loose today so check it out well this might you need a phantom three phantom 4 the clip goes on the legs and then you've got this little gimbal attachment here cuz he's gonna clip of eight in there and we'll just send her out this has been an epic we're in sight fishing for tuskys just drone it out dragging a porn over the top of them slide him in the clip here that's it this clip him in Bank John so if you want to drop a big heavy bite you just twist up the tension on this little knob here and away you go you get out there control you can drop baits where you can sight fish like we're doing and just wait for him to take it and we're on so pretty epic Mike these boys being catching seven eight kilo tuskys or be we haven't had the luck today there's some big ones out there but we've got a good for you anyway so check it out I'll go more details on it we've course of sharks and some good stuff on them but see also squiring a thing oh what's that my tree I'll give me a look at God I look in the mirror that's hilarious following hey that's been loose for so long great guy look in the mirror Jack I want to see what you reckon quick wash your mouth out ah that's pretty cool right these first front tooth we've lost it in Exmouth at the carrier park remember your very first tooth Jack where'd you lose that a dog's like up Falls that's the better way oh I'd be stoked how much drinking the fairy day food tooth fairy's gonna bring you Mike perfect what are you worth four front teeth four bucks my friend I am willow she lost and then when she woke up she found a skateboard under a pillow oh man a skateboard from the tooth fairy all right eyes pretty solid I've had a skateboard but I reckon I can put me millions for the backside there we go back we are off to victory cave if we could find it yes don't we treat roads we Boston Hawks guys really sure where it is but uh we're feeling pretty good about this Rory it's promising what's that Mike okay okay no that's seen there's a ladder yep so we found the cave but it's people hate it can we talk check this out gonna calm down this year actually hectic awesome Asia you get to anyway they're stacking it where you reckon there's no way you're getting Charlie to do that it's pretty crazy hey oh yeah epically so I'll spin around or if you can see too much in this light I should be able to do that goes right back down looks like there's looks like there's a lot in here but it's just Sun coming through from IV anyway it's pretty cool I reckon that's free that's well worth the drive it's a bit of a mission lockers a bit bumpy and rockier I didn't know there's a track you can take the same track this is on you can actually drive from like the Lamont Airport all the way across to sandy cape or Sandy Bay on cape range national park so it's about 45 kg to probably take you most of the day but cuz it's slow going but alright I reckon if we planned it better and left in the morning with enough food and stuff he could probably be good dangerous see I've never all we haven't done anything like this it is crazy how can you get back up there sway that victory care you've done and busted try not to wear pluggers trying to climb that ladder cuz that was a bit slippery and big hectic alright we got a little secret tip for you I suppose it's got that secret but we got a hot tip from the xmf care behind mom to check out the wah berry axis so WI don't don't know Bri you can get some little waves here it's not in the national park it's just outside but look at this as you come over the hill oh man speak carefully is a big big pothole here you coming over the crest but check this out and you can see that there's a little wave little beach break there as well so anyway what about spot a we're just gonna pull up here for an arrow and have a swim mode will give you a look when we get the other Beach this is pretty buddy spec [Music] good have a look at it I mean like 20 minutes to marys time and he just parked up here good cover swim here come take you say it [Music] yeah [Music] well I so I'm gonna go on a fishing mission I do this a lot eh I just run solo I go and check places out okay for fluke drop a few baits around and try and find somewhere that produces a bit of fish fish it fish and Misha is a big brown snake on the track and if you can see that look at him Oh [Music] yes look at that daddy beat grants time exactly yeah finally a creak oh and it looks good too look at that opens up straight into the Exmouth golf string right in the hole let's get aligned in so I'm just gonna run some bait that we caught up an English station so got these white bite in the cast net and I'll just sandwich bag them up and tuck them in the freezer and these things do animate a choke them straight on a little hook with a random ball sinker on the top of it and that's being really I can't pick up something over here it's something wrong yeah well they all right oh hey didn't take long did it I'll clean him up a bit it's a nice little Queenie hi hi look at that little fish yeah yeah stand still you bugger the bad little fish out of this Creek we could sunset going down hey let him go so I've just picked up this stuff from the IGA it's communal eco shoe Oh airguard but what I look at it was right next to the stuff you know Bushman's the real expensive stuff the Ken was like 1495 this one was for 95 they have a look at the three main ingredients they're exactly the same bar like point five or one gram to a kilo so I can't see why it would be any worse don't quite smell as good as Bushman's but I don't care save 10 bucks a can with the same ingredients I'll throw this on have a share in this and I'll uh I'll let you know how it goes off we go that's a cape range today one of their favorite places Osprey Bay it's a brewery campsite we've only managed to get three nights we're pretty lucky another family we've been catching up with along the way I had to cancel their booking so they've headed off early and we're gonna snag it which is bloody brilliant because otherwise we'd only be able to get luck I'm not here in the air and it's like the best campground that is my van ATK's I reckon from x-men identify spray or [ __ ] Minh easy access I would love stopped in in there yeah if you want a hot coffee to definitely the social Society it's just a cool little it's got like a little sign shocking it to you for all those ladies out there but uh yeah it's not too bad and now I've got a gas pump field so the best spot are getting tend to do it is the fishing tackle and sort of dive shop near the RG ice they are they fell off was only two bucks and they only fill four kilo to stuff you haven't got a full empty bottle they won't charge you for a full you know main full refill which is pretty handy yet anyway this is the road ATK's of this and we'll pull in an osprey and show you what it's like we've got four days of the men test whether you can possibly imagine to get out here and experience though [Music] campsite number 18 okay close me out of the water craziness beans here happy hour spot there are little shelters and a couple of drop dunnies so huge big sites all about these coppers logs Rhiannon and I tell you what if you don't have some short code screws or some super heavy-duty tent pegs don't bother trying to put your mat down because or if you book side 18 you can probably have this map because I don't think I'll get me ten legs back yes anyway what are you making this look at the kitchen window this plus screen up oh ho apart from the long drop down II know it's a pretty damn good view beauty is in the eye of the beholder they tell me so it'll be me in about twenty minutes take it take it take it Oh giddy up look at that I've got our special little crayfish delight in there anyway Suns going down I'll just stand here this is my workbench lately pull the fridge it and then there you pull the drawer out of here that holds the drinks and then I'll lean on this one hmm
