- In this episode we head out to Dirk Hartog Island, one of Australia’s most remote island camping destinations!
Dirk Hartog Island is an island off the Gascoyne coast of Western Australia, within the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. It is Western Australia's largest and most western island accessible by barge from Steep Point if you are taking your vehicle over (which we did).
Known as Wirruwana by the traditional owners of the island, the Malgana people, it was given its present name by Dirk Hartog, a Dutch sea captain who first encountered the Western Australian over 400 years ago in 1616.
We start our adventure from Steep Point where we catch the barge over to Dirk Hartog Island. First stopover is a night at the homestead before heading out to Louisa Bay Campground after some epic off-roading,
With Louisa Bay Campground as our base we explore:
• Notch Point Campgrounds
• Cormorant Lookout
• Sandy Point Campground
• Green Hat Beach
• Charlies Harbour Lookout
• Quoin Head Campgrounds
Enjoy
Absolutely awesome vid guys, great footage, looking forward to part two. 🤟

Just spectacular 😍 awesome catch as well!!
Thanks guys, it was an unexpected catch as we were not really there to fish. But the fishing goes off on that west side!! 🍻👍😀🐟
@@VetinaVan we wouldn't know as we never have any luck with fishing 😂😂 you need to give us some tips!
Haha, we suck at fishing! That's why we go places where it's almost impossible not to catch fish! 🍻🍻👍👍🐟🐟
