Travelling Australia in the Summertime - Ningaloo Coast - Winderabandi and South Lefroy
#whale #caravanlife #beach
Join us in this week's adventure as we leave Winderabandi and continue down the stunning Ningaloo coast to South Lefroy. This campsite offered incredible views, though the winds picked up as we settled in. We welcomed the New Year with some much-needed family time, leaving the cameras behind for an evening of unplugged celebration.
In this episode, we also explore the historic ruins of the Norwegian Bay Whaling Station. Located on Ningaloo Station, this site tells a fascinating story of the past, from its beginnings in 1915 with the Norwegian Whaling Company, to its closure in 1957 after a long and eventful history. The remnants of this once-thriving operation are still visible today, with rusted machinery and the foundations of buildings offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Don't miss this captivating journey back in time!

Did you just plug the Bluetti into side of caravan (using 10amp to 15 amp) ? Could you then run your 3way on 240v ? Long time subscriber!
Yes that's what we did . As for the fridge we actually did not give that a thought when testing things out. Thanks for watching 👀
Love this video!!
@@4wdnSki thanks so much for watching 👀
Omg 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. I just read. “Take note of the Moron in blue”. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏼♀️😂 I’m so sorry to the man in blue 😇. I was wondering what he was going to get up too. 🤷🏼♀️ Sorry I’m still giggling 😂😘 Another great video. ❤
Thanks for watching again
super film.
Thanks for watching
Can you plug it into your 15w caravan input?
We did in the video via a 15w extension and a convertor from house power to caravan power.
Thanks for sharing your journey, it's a great drive across the top. If you go to Lake Argle you'll understand the significance of the Durack Family
Thanks for watching. We did go to Lake Argyle, but it was so hot and we were so tired we just relaxed at the caravan park for a few days
Chinchilla QLD 😜😜😉😉🤣😂🤣😂
Boooyeah lol
Great Video. Did John take the Bluetti to help run your Van while you have been off grid. If so can you do a follow up video. Safe travels.
Not yet. We are way behind in the videos but we have a camping trip planned (minus caravan) soon and will be using it fully then. This will be a midweek video when I have it edited. The use in the caravan will get done though
Apostle birds. Or happy jacks are the birds. We have them here in Chinchilla too.
I will have to watch out for them. Probably on Margies lawn lol.. Thanks for watching
lol funny I’ve been watching you and your daughter for awhile now not realising you were mum and daughter great videos
Hahahaa .. thats funny. Thanks for watching us both
Wow just luv you both, so natural & down to earth. What a great adventure & well done John. Merry Christmas to you both.
Thanks so much, its comments like this that keep us going. Glad you are enjoying our adventures.
Cb is citizens band and is better in hilly terrain like NZ but won't get long range distances unless you use a 10 foot aerial on your car unlike a UHF which stands for Ultra high frequency, and works better on flat country and you get better coverage over long distances but the signal gets weak in low hill terrain.
Awesome thanks for the info and for watching the episode
Just call it a ‘two way’. 😀 Those campsites looked awesome. We are trying to get in there but it’s always booked out. 👍
We found alot of the campsites were empty but on the booking system it showed taken. Our daughter has a You Tube called Trippin Around Oz and she did an episode about booking Ningaloo and it is pretty good giving you hints. You might want to take a look. Thanks for watching us though
Thanks. I will watch h that. BTW the Mrs reckons John’s facial growth suits him…..😄
@@whitedog7897 hahahaha will I think so.... sometimes.. But I do like him cleanly shaved too
Wow... what a beautiful area of WA. Loved the remains of the old whaling station. Safe travels, guys!
Us too! I have to say the figures on the numbers of whales slaughtered were horrifying to me though. I was so disappointed when I looked back on the footage and found the wind ruined alot of the info I was narrating. Thank you for watching
Perhaps you need one of those garbage bags that go on the back of the van.
You are definitely right there. Thanks for watching
Amazing video, loving the informative vids your producing. John everytime I see you I get excited for whats next.. You both are doing a great job please, please keep it going...
Hahaha dont tell him that he will get a big head lol. But really though, I just dont know what he will do next hahahaha definitely keeps me on my toes. Thanks for watching
CB is citizens band radio on the AM frequency still in use today but the major one that took over is UHF Ultra high Frequency that is all over our country now but with limited range off site tho , old CB on the AM band can put out twice the power on side band you can talk to people on the other side off Australia or in America it was great
Thanks for the info. Yeah Jon used to have a CB and we talked to people all over. I will always call it that lol. Thanks for watching
Ultra High Frequency (uhf) way bigger range than the old cb, but is line of sight. Great vid
Thanks for the info! I will always say CB though hahaha Thanks for watching
Your video is easy to follow, thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 👀
ancient footsge from Yowah when Sybille was around and else czcams.com/video/HeGIhVxYxJk/video.html
Well that will be a truly memorable Christmas for sure. Thanks for taking us along xo 🙏🏻✨
It really is! Thank you for watching 👀
thanks for the review, I have been looking at this model now for a few weeks now and was about to purchase this the other week and have noticed that they have them on sale here in NZ as well and will save NZ$600 so yep this is too good to miss out on. Cheers Glenn v from NZ
Glad I could help. We have found it a great addition to our set up. Thanks for watching
Hahahaha, I knew that was going to happen, 20 psi is good for the track, but any beach soft sand driving need to go down 12 psi front, 14 psi rear and caravan down to 15 psi, lesson learned. Really no need to get stressed, this is as hubby said, part of the adventure. If you never get bogged, haven't really been trying. Just have the correct recovery gear and you are good to go. Whenever you are planning a trip like this, get on CZcams, and watch what others do, tyre pressures are king when do this type of 4WDriving. That was painful to watch, I will give a little more advice if you would like, do not be scared to go down to 8 psi all round, DO NOT FORGET THE VAN, they are one big anchor.
Hahaha yes, but see Jon has been 4wding for 40 years lol. He knows what to do with tyre pressures, he is and will even admit it that he is to lazy to drop the pressures to much because it's takes to long lol. He then says hey you have to wait forever to pump all the tyres back up again and he couldn't be bothered. He likes the challenge and the fun of it all, before dropping pressure. In the meantime it makes me nervous as anything but he has never got us in a position he hasn't got us out off. Thanks for watching 👀
@@onlyleavingfootprints I know I have been there as well, yeah these pressures will be ok, then down she goes. It's all part of the adventure, so try and not get too stressed, getting bogged, no, a little stuck you will never be in any danger. There is always someone around to give you a hand.
Come on guys, get a mask, snorkel and fins, walking around a coral reef is not the way to do it. At least a pair of fins with your viewing paddle board would work.
Ok so Jon has a neck and back injury so snorkelling hurts his neck. For me, I cannot see without my glasses and it was going to cost us over $400 to get prescription goggles. Not worth it for one day. I was happy just bring there with our daughter. And being in the shallows. Thanks for watching 👀
Wow...what a magical spot to spend Christmas. I hope your new year is full of more adventures and lots of new places.
Thank you so much. Truly was beautiful. Thanks for watching 👀
What’s your daughters CZcams Chanel we would like to give them a watch
Hi there, thanks for watching. Jess's channel is Trippin Around Oz
that's an awesome looking cruiser your following lol
Absolutely brilliant lol. Miss seeing it everyday
Good onya John, you didn’t really get bogged it just took you a few goes to get through….great driving and you come out smiling 🍺🤙🏽
Thanks 👍 haha Jon says that's right. He wasn't technically bogged because no recovery gear came out lol. Thanks for watching 👀
What a beautiful country we have .. your grandson is so cute I have a 4 year old grandson as well.. safe travels guy’s. i follow your daughters channel as well I really enjoy all you guys videos .
Yeah he is a cutie. Thank you for watching 👀

What a beautiful spot to spend Christmas 😍 Four months til next one 😖🤣👍🏽
I know!! That's crazy. I have so much content to edit 😌 Thanks for watching 👀
How’s it going after using it for awhile do you still use it to run caravan
We dont use it to completely run the caravan because we haven't needed to but we have used it to run items when our batteries get lower. Thanks for watching
@@onlyleavingfootprints thanks was just wondering if this cheaper option than the bug dollars to get good battery system
@@sonjaparkin9920 for us it is enough IF we don't continue travelling full time. We have managed so far without one but Tracie does tend to drain the batteries when she stays up late with the Starlink going and computer etc. So having one has worked well in those instances. I think if we travelled again in the middle of summer then with the heat we experienced a bigger battery system is needed to run the air con for alot longer then the Bluetti would be able to stay charged for
just use treated pine sleeper cut into 100x200 x 2 only 20 bucks
@@thelonewolf666 that's great if that works for you. Thanks for watching 👀
Really appreciate you taking us with you on your adventures. It looks like it was Christmas time at the time of filming or you are celebrating Christmas in July 😂 happy and safe travels 🙏🏻 hope the drone is ok 🤞🏻and hope you find a way to be off-grid and keep on travelling around 😊
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Yes your correct, it is nearing Christmas time. We have so much to share that we are becoming more and more behind. Yes the drone is ok now, our son in law blew the sand out with his compressor thank goodness. Still working on ideas to acquire more off grid power. Appreciate your support
Thanks guys...very interesting!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching
Yer my school taught me more about other countries than our own
Yep us as well. Sad really 😞. After travelling and seeing how much history we have here that could be taught it makes me frustrated with our education policy
soooo, where did you go to school, guys?! ..I went to Victor Harbor High and Urbrae! AND really enjoy the videos.
Thanks so much for watching our videos. Jon went to school in a place called Greenacre then in Revesby and I went to school in Picnic Point. Both in South West Sydney
Yer the humming noise would be the wind through them wires but now this video let's the Chinese know where they are 😮😮😅
Haha I am sure they already know lol. 🤣
Did you go to schools on the central coast ?
No not central coast. We both attended schools in South West Sydney. Thanks for watching 👀
So did my husband 😂😂😂💐💐
Thanks for another great video 😊
Your most welcome, thanks for watching
Thanks guys another great walk around, good to see Jon make his cameo apperence towards the end 😉
Hahaha the hotter it got the slacker he got walking around caravan parks with me lol. Thanks for your support
Sorry just hate seeing animals spacing and stressed in zoos better ways to spend your dollar
Yes I do too .
Turn the camera around so we can see where u r going.
Okie.dokie
I used a magnet to mount my remote with the kings inverter. Works well and it’s not permanent
Good idea 💡, thing with this one is the wire sticks out straight from the back, it doesn't drop out from the bottom. But you have given me a penny for thoughts.
Another informative video. I wish more people did these thorough walk through videos. It really helps separate the good from the bad for future reference. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching us 🙏
Why not put your bread in one of those containers with the green lids …keep the ants out! Nice to see the memorial plaque for the fisherman who drowned during Cyclone Bobby Hugh Hatch was a good friend of my brother
Haha yes good idea but don't think a loaf would fit. How cool that you got to see that memorial of your brothers friend. It was a nice tribute
When will you use it?
We will use it at nights when we go.on night time 4 x 4 drives. It will also be handy on those late camp set ups.
So your the one that the international space station can see at night 😂
Hahahaha yep that's us lol 😆
How do you connect to the headlight fitting. Where do you run the harness?
The harness is screwed to the side of guard under bonnet and the wire run up the side of the window. You need to buy a headlight adapter to plug in at the back of the headlight.
Looking at the route you have taken so far its nearly a carbon copy of what we did last year. We left from our home in Lake Macquarie went up the coast to Grafton then crossed The Great Divide to Glen Innes. I did my back on that trip when we got as far as Ceduna and my wife had to tow the van home as I couldnt turn my head. We only just got back from doing the bits that we missed last year, This time we crossed NSW did the Eyre Peninsula, the Flinders Ranges, went up the Stuart Hwy to Uluru and Alice Springs then back home through outback Qld. We bought our first caravan 7 years ago when I retired from full time work it had all the things that we thought we wanted , 2 years ago I retired from work completely so we had one built with the things that we wish we had done the first time unfortunately you dont know that until you actually start travelling. We were fortunate that the caravan dealer we went with this time round you started with the showroom layout then you could add things, remove things, change the layout virtually do anything we did lots of things even moved a window.. We have doubled our solar, have 2 x 100AH Lithium batteries, 3000W inverter, DC to DC charger etc. We find we dont use the A/C much the Sirroco fans have been great even when in the tropics..We also avoid travelling in the north or central Australia in the hotter months thats when its good to have a home base... When we were in Onslow we camped at a caravan park that was close to the marina it was bit further away from the town center but it was a pretty good spot to take a couple of days break..
Great story. What caravan have you got now? Yes we would not travel at this time of year again but as mentioned before we were on a time frame to meet our daughter and this was the quickest way
@@onlyleavingfootprints We have a 20ft Concorde its a brand that you can only buy from Concorde Carvans in Belmont NSW. They are built for them by GM Grand Caravans in Victoria,
