    Omg 😮I have been thinking since watching your channel that Leah reminded me of someone and I couldn’t for the life of me think who.
    Well today I was sitting in the nail salon and watching a CZcams music video and there she was. Adele 😃she reminds me of Adele 😆 I can sleep tonight now. 🤣

    Good vid guys, like the super dad moment when the outfield bottle catch was made 👍 but didn't get a mention 😩. We went to MM when the first few chalets were built about 27Yrs ago , great spot but over rated $$$$$ even then .You couldn't really see the Dolphins , glad you had a personal close encounter happy travels 👍

      Oh wow you have amazing eyes! With all that editing I did I didn't even know that happened until I just rewatched it haha 🤣🤣
      Wow, crazy to think even that long ago it was so expensive as well!
      Thankyou for watching 😍

  • @lindagallacher896
    @lindagallacher896 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Its cheaper staying longer as yr park fee covers a month if u choose right and normal site so worth it

  • @lindagallacher896
    @lindagallacher896 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Love love monkey❤ not for dolphins but so relaxing. Caravan fee was fairly cheap versus many places but families get slammed with kids paying extra. Monkey bar is cheap enough

    After 14 years of him driving I think it might be time for me to have a go. Not only have to learn to tow a van but also need get my head around driving our Troopy, very different to my automatic Hyundai Kona. The caravan park looks good but like you said maybe stay in Denham and do the day trip.

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před rokem

      Yes I would definately stay at Denham and do a day trip if we did it again 😁
      Yea , give it a go! I've still got to learn how to hitch up the caravan as well 😅

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před rokem +2

      Haha no, these videos we are showing you at the moment happened before The Gibb, so after skipping forward to show you the Gibb series live we had to go back in time and still show you alot of our WA travels 😁... we still haven't got the fridge fixed 😳🤣

    @pata8167 Před rokem +2

    Ive never been to a caravan park that will let you check-in by 10 am why would you stay its only 30 km travel frist time i went it was free to park the Dolphins only come into feed at high tide sadly a lot of places are over pricing themselves out if it wasn't for Dolphins specially when it was started by fisherman feed them alway love them blogs as they are so down to earth did you go to the shell quarry it how they made the old houses

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před rokem

      That's why we always ring up the day before to check the time so we can get there the earliest we can 😁
      We didn't leave because they told us they were going to sort out our site as soon as possible, in the end they didn't.
      No, unfortunately we didn't go to the shell quarry, will have to check that out next time 😁
      Thankyou for watching ❤️

    I met ppl who work there. If u want to get picked wear something very different and noticable. Ie . If they say person in red shirt and 5 are wear8ng one it gets difficult. If u wear a bright floral shirt or something no others are wearing its an easy pick for them as only 1 person would come forward after they say " the person in the floral shirt" its easier for them to avoid 5 ppl rushing forward. It works . I got picked straight away . Or a unusual hat or cap .

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před 9 měsíci

      Was this recently? As they weren't picking anyone out of the crowd, they already had their volunteers that did it. So I wondered if that had changed since covid.

    • @lindagallacher896
      @lindagallacher896 Před 8 měsíci

      It is possible it changed . I was there in April but i don t go to see dolphins now they come see us at beach further down.we went for a week in our caravans.was lovely.

    Hey guys I love watching 👀 all of ya videos im clad you changed drivers because we was away and I got very sick and my wife had to do it all as I was taking to hospital by ambulance so it's great you work together as a team learn everything together so if needed no one will panic cheers love following you guy's drive safely

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching Rob 😁 that's it!
      It takes something bad to happen to realise we need to learn.
      I knew I had to do it at some stage, just incase something happened to Tj, it is rather nerve racking but glad I have done it now.

  • @lindagallacher896
    @lindagallacher896 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Dolphins swim where you were filming. Had them swim past me right there . U just stay still . If they are hunting fish then best get out of water .

  • @robyndehavilland1609

    Glad you enjoyed Monkey Mia in the end. How special are dolphins, to me they always look like they are smiling. Love them 😊

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před rokem

      Oh I totally agree! I have a beautiful video on my phone of one of them giving me the side eye but looks like they're smiling 🤣😍 very cute!

      Yes we travel with the coffee machine on our bench, and it's held in place with our TV stand that we place around it 👍

  • @lindagallacher896
    @lindagallacher896 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Only wingers put bad reviews. You don t even need to go to dolphin experience as dolphins come to you. Most ppl go there as daytrippers and have just paid to get in and are grumping about paying 😂😂. Monkey resort for a week of relaxation booked well in advance is awesome and cheap . Less than $50 a night . Their cabins are $220 a night and more. Going back next year . 5th time. 😍

    Only joking.
    TBH I've been a bit lost since your daily Gibb videos.
    Really enjoyed keeping upto date on your travels.
    Keen to get out and see more of the West Coast.

    Omg what a rip off, and they made you wait that long.

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  Před rokem

      Oh yea, it didn't start off very well. We had someone else message us and they had a similar experience so not too sure why it's like that. Not the best customer service. 😕
