Fantastic drone footage getting better and better cheers guys and thank you ❤

Grab a muzzle for your dog when off lead / baits / it will keep it safe . We do in the outback ,not his favourite thing , peace of mind, great videos.

Drone footage amazing, love the colours

That roll your dog did, is called “A happy Dog Roll…..” self explanatory

Beautiful drone footage. That storm was pretty intense!! I reckon those fly nets look like they are must. What fishing spot great great video so much to see. Tyre looked a little worse for ware 😵‍💫. Thanks for sharing

There are a lot of baits in WA. You should keep an eye on the dog.

The colour of the gorgeous CoCo against the outback was so brilliant! She is an amazing dog. Happy Easter from Scotland guys and CoCo. ❤❤❤

There’s a nice gorge between the bar and shay gap You need to take note they use 1080 baits and there no antidote for you dog and if he gets a bait it will break your heart get him a muzzle I’ve lived in the area for many years

Thankyou both for sharing your travels and your amazing life, I am so sorry for the tyre shredding hope you will be ok , the places you are visiting are nothing like I ever imagined, please be safe and enjoy your wonderful journey cheers Darrel 👍👏

Repellant Most fodder / horse feed shops have Rosemary and sandalwood cream, wrks fantastic, only need a little bit, rub in all over bod great for all bitting critters

The lamb chops in the wind cracked me up. You can just imagine the other campers in their vans looking out the window and saying, ”look at those jokers trying to have a barbecue in the wind”. “They probably came up from down south”. Cat fish are good eating and some people like them and the flies, they will be there in winter too. They get into everything including up your nose, in your mouth and in your food. It is a beautiful spot that not many people are lucky enough to experience. Just stunning.

Love your realistic portrayal of life on the road. Those flies - oh my gosh - such patience. Especially loved the barbecue during the sandstorm - amazing footage of it advancing. Great gorge drone work and Coco obviously loved the water. Hope she found her ball - she certainly worked hard enough to find it. Definitely somewhere we will visit on our trip. Thanks so much for your effort.🌺😁

Hi both myself and wife are doing the lap of Australia we set off on 15/01/24 and are heading round the other way, maybe we will cross paths along the way, we will follow you on you travels.

Thanks for putting the date on your video travels so good to know what time of the year on county travel.

I think you guys just found the perfect fishing spot. Congrats you are now members of the 'Outback Fishing Club'. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣😉

OMG what a great episode and the drone footage of the gorge was exceptional.

We love the Pilbara, lived there for several years and head back every chance we get. It’s just majestic and we’re so glad you got to experience it as you did - sans the uber friendly flies 😂 A wee PSA: Your vid went ‘private’ about 14 mins in 😮but came back not long after, phew 😅 & awesome 👍 Love your vids & Happy & Safe travels you two. We look forward to next week ❤✌️

You did well to brave the flies and Laura you did well keeping your cool about the tyre 😱 another great episode and the drone footage was amazing.

It’s a miracle! Troy caught a fish first cast 😂 Love watching your travels as always! You weren’t around for the dust storm in Melbourne during the 80s? My mum thought the world was ending 😂 Amazing drone footage!

That was a wicked storm!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️oh the blow out.Of all the places, 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 Hope the good outweighs the bad❤ safe travels x

Thanks, a fantastic episode, keeping it real and showing us another place to see. I would have loved it ❤❤❤ except those little black barst.rds ❤

Seeing the tyre like that reminds me , some years ago I had just come back from a job down the freeway in Melbourne in a semi , i had a low loader on the back , and a motorist come up along side me while I was stopped at the lights and told me I had a flat , I pulled over to have a look and on rear most axle outer there was just the bead of the tyre left on the rim and few bits of string 😊, the worlds full of comedians 😂. I hope you got your tyre sorted alright .

Another great episode, what a beautiful spot is Marble Bar. I think I’m definitely going to have fly net hats if I’m to survive 😅 Great footage, just stunning the colours. Coco is always fun to watch. I wouldn’t mind knowing more about these baits others are talking about. It’s obviously a big issue in NT predominantly? Are you just expected to know or is it signed well? Take care and hope you had a great Easter. Alexandra King Island 🏝️

Great vid but watch your dog carefully plenty of dog baits in that part of the world , on leash at all times .

You made our Easter Sunday sitting here at home bored but you both gave us a great laugh keep up the good work

Great spot, thanks for sharing

Re losing the tap on your rear tank. Same thing happened to me on our first time off the bitumen. I bought a sheet of gal from Bunnings (about 1000mm x 500mm), folded it to the same dimensions as the existing metalwork, loosened off the tank bolts and slid it in between the tank and existing metalwork in but left it so that it was extending out about 150mm. Haven't had a problem since. Did that to both water tanks and grey water tank.

Hi Laura and Troy, just to update you again we are a couple of Kiwi’s heading over at the end of the year to spend a couple of years doing what you guys are. We have ordered an L300 in Melbourne and doing an GVM /GCM Lovells upgrade, ( pre rego) we note you have a bull bar without hoops which we love the look of , with a lot of miles under your belt would you go hoop less again ? also can you give your opinion on roof racks and snorkels , we think we will fit these but are concerned about wind noise. We are not doing extreme off road but intend to hopefully go to the top of Cape York. Our van we pick up in Melbourne is a 22.8 Australis Overlander so will be right up at the 3.5 ton weight limit. One last thing , did you fit diff breathers? And would a winch be recommended? it is hard to know what is a nice to have as opposed to a must have , seems the sky’s the limit on how much to spend on the vehicle, we are of the opinion that with a limited budget we may be better to spend our money on experiences rather than ticking all the boxes on the vehicle. Sorry bit of a ramble but we would love and respect your opinions thanks Catherine and Hugh

Am catching up with your vids as have just arrived back from Shark Bay and Dirk Hartog Island. Flys were intense, apparently all bad up west coast from unseasonal rains at end of summer. Can empathize significantly. Fly nets were my friend as was sitting in the water. Looking forward to your next episodes.

Love Marble Bar! That back road near Yarrie is a beauty!

Just Awesome! ❤

great ep. what was the fix the inverter issue?

Hi we also did that old track to the top. Wasn’t raining and was nice. There is another track signed by an orange arrow. We didn’t go down that track as we weren’t shore either , but going by what I know now wish I went down it.

Hi guys. When you get home. Come to the other end of Vic and you can see some real dust storms lol.

One of my most enjoyable tracks from Marble Bar to Newman on Marble bar rd. Would highly recommended staying at Coongan Pool next time 👍

What a magic spot - hopefully less/no flies in the winter though? Laura sounding exactly like my wife in 3, 2, 1…. 45:48 😂 That’s rough, hope there wasn’t any further damage.

Well done on the water tank repair a true Aussie bushman’s fix

You through the cat fish back ? There good eating mate

spent many days at Carrawine, there when a man jumped off the highest cliff, landed on his back, he lived, we put him on an old mattress and floated him across, in the back of a ute to woodie woodie and flying doctor out, he was so lucky back at work after six months. cat fish on the barbie plate a few beers then back to work at woodie

Hi isn’t there a general store at the bar used be one in the 70s

Fresh water "catfish " or silver cobla. You can eat them there quite good if you bake with tomato/onion sliced wrapped in foil. Skin, cut skin around from top of head under side fin watch spikes, to bottom of the fish, can use thumb or pliers to strip off skin to tail fillet or bake hole removing the head, saltn pepper any herbs ya like, 15 mins each side. Ya Will be surprised how good

Yep, know about the flies in this beautiful country of ours 😅 growing up in north west Qld as kids we'd just leave them on our backs until we got home from school, then we'd chase them off, our sweat would attract them.

Sorry to say, but in an earlier scene that tyre looked to be low on air, but what a bummer! Man down!!! All the best

WHAT TIRE PRESSURE DO YOU USE AS A RULE AND WHAT KLMS DO YOU GET OUT OF YOUR TIRES. USE A MAX OF 30 - 35PSI AND MY TIRES HAVE DONE 140000KLMS WITH 7.5MM OF TREAD LEFT

We stayed there for 4 days and loved but we went in august 😊

actually catfish is a good and tasty fish just ask people around lake argyle about silver cobbler and you will be suprised how good it is and you can taste it in their resturant.love your vids. Kris.

Would google earth in a area that has reception give you a view of the area?? idont know how much real time or close too .. could try it on a area u in at the time or were recently rspecially in woop woop type spots where easy to see where you were camped last

What TPMS’s are you using? Do you have any on the van?

How’s the serenity?

We got stranded in Marble bar many years ago from memory around 1980 or so after a cyclone dumped huge amounts of water and everything flooded. The road back then between marble bar and Pt Hedland was dirt. They have re routed the road now but I will remember walking into the iron clad hotel to buy a beer and all the stools were vacant so we sat on the 2 nearest then some local walked in looking for a fight saying "thats my stool". Dave wanted to punch him but I said lets just move seats which we did. But I wouldnt go to any of those places unless its winter because the flies are just abominable and insect repellent doesnt faze them. I remember getting attacked by some large flying insects about the size of cockroaches while I was trying to eat a sausage sandwich.

Haha, welcome to the Pilbara. The thunderstorms don't last long, enjoy it while you can.

Didn't the tpm tell you were low on tyre pressure?

You come along the bore line Muckan Station

Don’t let you dog chase kangaroos

Gods country grew up an hour from their in little old mining town called Shay Gap. Enjoy this magic spot

Hi guys watch out for dog bates

I hope you closed the main vent in your car. I lived in the Pilbara for five years. The day prior to leaving for good we had a dust storm go through. After cleaning the house and had the housing inspection to get our deposit back. I passed that with no worries. Except I left a house covered in afine mist of red power. It was micro fine dust. So I guessI had the last laugh because we got dressed, chucked the bedding in the back of our car and we were gone. The Pilbara has a dry and hot climate. Plenty of thunder and lightening in the right season. No way could we had lived in the Pilbara indefinitely. It's a great place to visit, expensive if don't know anyone with a spare bedroom.

Catfish are good eating

You probably already know but cover your water pipes with pool noodles under your van will help with stone throw’s

Well done catching all those entre’ sized fish 🐟, hopefully they were nice eating. Great gorge to stop at, for a couple of nights I think someone needs to listen next time to the lady of the journey…..lol😂😂 look at that tyre!!! Great drone footage of the gorge. Thanks guys.

Don't you just hate when they are right!🤣

Fly repellent hack : mix equal parts dettol and baby oil in a spray bottle. Shack and apply

I love catfish, eaten them since I was a little tacker, 😋😋

What storm, braai the meat mate lol.

Ye the winds blown its arse off all right

catfish are very healthy to eat

I’d block that Mr negative commenter Who needs that rubbish

Missing the lacquer fumes yet? :)

If you cgo in winter you will be fighting for a spot as that is when everyone heads north.

My goodness my husband and I have never laughed so much really this next level it’s not up north has heaps of flies Ruffin up, we lived in Newman for 6 yrs, everybody knows you would never camp in marble bar, did they not get it when mentioned there’s no one here, I wonder why, please do your research, anyway you gave us a laugh we new exactly what was going to happen, do seasonal travel cheers

oh Laura i can only imagine your colorful words after all the saluting the flies and then the tyre ..geebuz Troy you really gotta start listening to Laura ..she is a very smart lady but blind Nelly could see that was low low low Aldi selling catfish at the moment and its yummy..Basa fillets....safe travels....oh did Coco get her ball from the reeds?

This is better than Russel Coights best ever video comments in 2089.

mate i fish aus and if your hungry cat fish is bloody good cheap feed protein go for it👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fave episode ❤

Where r u???

How to fart in WA, the wind goes by at 100kms an hour

49.9 says we are hotter!

😬

Why ?

There’s no crocs

Great vid, the music is terrible and way too load, and talking at the same time just doesn't work.

can of aerogard looking very attractive....will stop u getting tennis elbow !

Why did you not take your dog inside??

Wyndham gets hotter

Enjoying your vids but for the sake of the fish, please don’t just stroll around with it out of the water, it’s unnecessarily cruel.

Did you know it is illegal to return cat fish to the water

I avoid clips with endless music over moving landscape. Silence is gold. It’s all about the nature

Getting the old girl to go down in PSI, just to see an outback Aboriginal settlement.

Who said Go Camping……I agree, sorry fly in and fly out for me…..

Getting a cat fish, only two thousand miles or kilometers for something un eatable

Getting a female to drive in 2024, she has no idea what pub or bottle shop sign looks like.

As has been said b4 Cut the music when your speaking so we can here what your saying. Becoming all too often in videos where music is so loud " viewers can't hear what's being said

Stop it stop it you’re killing me, I am deeply sorry about your little hole in your 600 litre water tank under your luxury apartment. If I had been there., I would have taken one of my canvas water bags off the bull bars of my FJ Holden, the one that came through a real sandstorm, that would take the paint off your vehicle, your little sucker still had patches of blue sky, and Jesus, how the hell did they fly the green grass in.

Stop it you are torturing me, my lungs are aching with laughing, this grin and bear it business.. Jesus you should have been there in Marble bar in 1961 in my FJ Holden, no flabby people, hanging out of an air-conditioned New York apartment, no overweight dogs, dying of boredom. I never saw a domestic dog in the Pilbara. they never survived.

Gidday Troy & Laura, enjoying your travels and content. The drain valves on your water tanks are so vulnerable you would be better to buy threaded blank plugs instead of valves. They are usually BSP threads. I thought I noticed tyre pressure monitors on you wheels. Anyway you are giving us inspiration to get away more in the caravan. cheers Jeff & Sharyn Vacy NSW
