The Fleurieu Peninsula is the first stop on our travels in South Australia. In true SA style, the episode starts with heavy winds, freezing temperatures and rain, yet we managed to make the most of our time once the weather turned around!
In this episode we:
- Travel from Langhorne Creek to Strathalbyn; the first of many beautiful South Australian towns we would visit.
- Attempt to catch squid at Port Elliott and experience the famous Port Elliot Bakery!
- Visit Victor Harbour and walk across to Granite Island
- Fall in love with Rapid Bay - one of our favourite campsites yet!
- Take the 12km circuit hike through the Deep Creek National Park. These views were INSANE!
- FINALLY CATCH SQUID! First catch and cook coming right up!
- Find a ripper sunset spot on the Fleurieu Peninsula
We hope you enjoy watching our time on the Fleurieu Peninsula and thanks so much for the overwhelming kindness and support on our last video (our 5 month travel update)! We really appreciate the love!

Happy Holidays team! 🎅We hope you enjoyed our first SA episode. Rapid Bay really turned it on for us!

In the meantime we wish you a very merry Christmas!

Thoroughly enjoyed your pronunciation of Strathalbyn 😂😂😂
Oh god… I realised I said it 3 different ways when editing 😂🤦🏻
Me too 😅
I love rapid bay, awesome video
It’s not hard to see why! One of our top camps in Aus so far Tommy! Good fishing too 🤙🏼
Beautiful. Such stunning views here in SA, my home (as all of Australia have, of course). I'd love to be able to get out and travel like this! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful vid. I'll be checking out your other vids too!
Thanks for tuning in 😊
Hey glad you got a couple of squid, I live at Goolwa and go over to Wirrina cove and get quite a few. best in clear water.
Hope you enjoyed the area.
Cheers Cliff. A lovely part of the world you live! Cheers for the tip & yes I am finding through trial and error best times and conditions to catch the tasty morsels 😁🤙🏼
South Aussie is looking awesome guys, enjoy!
Hey guys! We had some great days on the Fleurieu. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for leaving a comment :)
Absolutely stunning, love the spider episode Jake Roberson would have moved quicker. Love to you both. ❤❤
Thanks Mum. Nearly there, wrong video but! 🙏🥰
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
We love Rapid bay..and my hubby and I stayed their over Christmas in the verry same spot your in ..lol.
That’s awesome! Hope the weather was kind to you guys 🙌🏼
@@our.australia.trip. It was perfect. Hot with a soft breeze and cool water. The sand get's really hot though like walking on Mars..so you have to wear your thongs for sure. I saved a little girl from the hot sand poor thing. But I scooped her up and got her to cool grass and saved the day.
One of our all time favorites Rapid Bay, stay safe guys, ENJOY!
Same here! Cheers guys :D
Loved this episode guys. We’ll put it on our must see list.
Don’t miss it when coming to SA. It’s in our top 3 camps for sure 🙌🏼
Cheers! 🍻
Beautiful footage of a beautiful coastline, and wow those seals 🥰🥰🥰. Hayley’s squid reaction was the best 😂. Have a lovely happy Xmas ❤
Hi Robyn & merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎅🏼😁

Good episode, love the Fleurie
Thanks mate! We loved it :)
Squid 🦑 is great cooked fresh, glad to see the weather is picking up a bit here in SA
Too right Henry. We have been enjoying our fair share. It has been nice to see the sun lately, keen for more!
Awesome work! Best wishes from Second Valley! 🙂
Gday Michael! A nice part of the world. We did get over there but unfortunately someone deleted the drone footage 👀😓
Cheers for the comment and thanks for watching as always 😊
Lovely guys, this is moi fav clip
❤️👍❤️
Thank you :D
Glad you enjoyed SA. Sometime we forget what’s in our own backyards
For sure, right now we have spent 3 months here and only just scratched the surface!
Epic ep legends! Was awesome to see your perspective of Rapid Bay when we were there too. Super stoked that you got ya first squid Brad! See you guys soon
Thanks guys! You legends made Rapid Bay super special. I must've expressed my devastation to Hayley a number of times about not filming something together 😓 We'll definitely catch you down the road and won't miss that opportunity again! 🥰
Awesome. Stubbled across your channel and this is my first episode to watch, I've got some catching up to do but wow, love you guys and how you have showcased my home state. I love SA, so much to offer and see here. You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to the rest of your episodes and travels.
OK, so I'm thinking of trying fishing, haven't done it since I was a kid and dad took me out ... all I want to catch is a squid or two, wish me luck.
G'day Richard! Im glad you found us 😁 SA has offered us some awesome travelling over the past 3 months. We still have 4 episodes to come on the Eyre Peninsula! The amazing scenery and natural beauty of this state makes our job easy. I found first light & high tides were the time I got the best results those little morsels are fun to catch and incredibly tasty & sustainable. All the best with the fishing & catch you in the next episode mate.
Cheers, Hayley & Brad
Fun Episode.
Make sure you don't drive past McLaren Vale on your way north to the Barossa. Some beautiful wines, venues, food and scenery.
Safe travels.
Hi Steve 😁 We passed through there briefly and stopped in at Chalk Hill. Loved it. So much to see, do, drink and eat in the Adelaide surrounds!!
Cheers mate 👍🏼
Top show 👍
Thanks for watching Paul & appreciate the comment :)
Hey Guys, just saw you cruise through Barker Rocks on the Yorke Peninsula SA. Love your videos & your van is a classic beauty. Enjoy the holidays and all the best in 2023, looking forward to following your travels. 😊
Gday Gibbo & thanks for the kind words!!
It’s a shame the camp was full, looks like a ripper spot & hope the fishing is good.
Same to you guys I’ve just subscribed to your channel and keen to check out some of your adventures too 🤙🏼🍻
@@our.australia.trip. thank you for subscribing, that’s awesome. We enjoyed fresh fish and squid tonight for dinner caught from just out the front of our van this afternoon. Hope you found a good spot too.
Cracka Ep guys, miss good ol Rapid Bay.. such a great camp. 👍 how good is that lookout too. Bloody epic 😉
It's a killer campsite! Thanks for the tip legends ❤
OMG!! My mouth was watering watching you eat that Pt Elliott Bakery donut, I honestly don't know how you waited over 30 mins to eat it, we usually go straight to coast (behind the balery) to eat ours 👍
Can't wait to see your next episode, we love seeing our home state being visited ❤️
It was fair dinkum torture! Kind of regret not getting a pie, sausage roll, pastie and pastry now 😂 we will be back and loved the town there in Pt Elliot 🥰
The Fleurieu was gorgeous. Although we didn’t get the best weather on the Yorke there were still a ton of beautiful moments 😁
Thanks for watching Kristina! 😊
Seen one seen em all !!!!
Thanks for the comment mate!
The seals! How special is that!!
Not sure if you're heading to Kangaroo Island while in SA but if you go to Seal Bay you'll see Australian sea lions and if you go to Admirals Arch in the Flinders Chase National park you'll see New Zealand fur seals. 😀
Thanks for the tips Rach! We chose not to head over this time and will save it for another day. Will check those spots out when we get back here! 😁
In
The summer period they’ve had tuna pens between Victor Harbour and Granite Island which you can swim with the tuna
That is awesome, wonder if that activity brings the sharks in?
As you do more of the Flureiu you’ll pass Mc Laren Vale
We stopped in at chalk hill on our way through 🙌🏼
When you get over to Yorke Peninsula, you have to go squidding on the jetty and catch some Whitting?
I have been fishing my brains out!! 😂
Go to the old tin mine. East of blow hole. In the bush. Is an old town that had 5000 workers once.
Ah bugger! I saw this on a sign and completely forgot about going to check it out! Next time...
Port Elliot bakery is the best, on a long weekend the queues are out the door
Spewing we didn’t try one of their pies or pasties!! Oh well… guess we will have to go back 😂
If you to catch quid go to Ardrossen on the York Peninsula.
cheers for the tip!
You have to go and stay at Perlubile beach 🏖️ on your way west it's just out of Streaky Bay all the You tubers stay there cheers legends ☺️
We have heard so many good things about Perlubie. If we can get a site there we will check it out for sure. The permits and rules have just recently changed.
Hi Brad and Hayley...Where can I get one of those jumpers that Brad is wearing at 2.16 . They look sick .
Hi Glenn Corlis. Unfortunately my supplier has cut me off so I can’t get anymore of these 👎🏼🥺
Great episode guys. But you can keep the squid 🤮 😁
Thanks Legends :) Hey I'm not complaining! More for us! Ive even converted Hayley from a non seafood eater to enjoy some fresh squid :D
Another awesome video if you want to catch more squid and blue crabs go to Point Turton on the Yorke Peninsula see Malcolm the owner of the caravan park he will take you out don't spend to much time at the Barrossa go to the Clare Valley instead
Thanks Steve! There is no shortage of fishing spots in SA! We planned to go to Clare Valley but after the Barossa we were pretty wined out and decided to head straight to the Yorke 🤙🏼
Not too far from your site at port Elliot we had whales coming in and scratching their bellies on the huge granite holders, there was about eight of them?
That’s incredible. I’ve never heard of anything like that what a sight!
Hey guys great video but its not a seagull its a Albatross
Thanks Tom!
Port Elliot show grounds you can camp there 20 dollars for two
Great tip Steve. Didn’t know about this. Next time!
We pronounce it strath-AL-bin like in people's names and trash cans
Thanks Karen! I’ll get it right next time 🤦🏻
Noice - we be down their in XMAS - dont forget Harndorf :-)
Lucky ducks!! Enjoy guys and merry Christmas! Almost ate them out of bratwurst… in the next episode 😂
Strathalbyn is pronounce as strath-owl-bin 😂😂
Must be that Queensland hick I picked up!
Strath..... al..... byn
Now say it faster
Strathalbyn is pronounced Strath-al-byn or Strath for short.
thanks!
Great vids don't fall into the trap of to much of your faces and not sharing what your seeing
Cheers!
Why do you call her Patsy when her name is Haley?
Just a nickname she has had since she was a baby!
