Series 3 - The West Side
Ep 3 - Traded our 25 Foot Caravan for a 24 Foot Boat!! Exploring the Underwater Worlds of Northern WA
We find the most breathtaking sea-life as we take on the pristine waters of the Western Australia coastline in our larger than normal boat.
Cooked up ourselves and our mates a feed of coral trout at the end of the day to top it all off!!
Life really doesn’t get any better than this!

I can't believe how grown up and switched on Evie is. At 13 she acts like a grown up. Helping with the boys and does jobs to help out, amazing. Well done mum and dad. Respect.

Eavie is very proficient at sectoring the squid. You have a very skilled Fisherwoman right there Mom and Dad! Great job not only are you showing your children the very best in upbringing but you're doing a very impressive job of teaching life skills too!!

Hey Cartwright's, thanks for another epic thrill and beauty dive through our land..... YUWL I wondered whether Kylah may have felt sea sick. Carrying a bubba inside can do that to you. Those Manta's were epic ( as was the mumma whale and calf) . So graceful and beautiful. They are made of similar stuff to sharks but their temperament is completely different! They are curious, love scratches ( we are talking Manta ray here NOT Stingray), and even come back to places where they've met a loving human before and hope to see them again. Oh'o out loud when one of the boys was reaching for the newly made fillets to wash them in the sand! Lol... I absolutely loved seeing all those Brim. They really look wonderful in the wild. Evie, you are a star. ⭐. Helping Dad with fishing, filleting and catching, whilst lovingly looking after your younger siblings, Mum and family in general. You are incredibly lucky to be living and learning this way of life... don't grow up too soon. Enjoy every, bloody second of the journey.... 🦋🦋 🦋🦋🦋💙
