Well here we are at the start of 14 days camping offgrid at South Lefroy Bay in Ningaloo Station. First up is the trip across Yardie Creek, the only way to access Ningaloo if towing this year, and we show just how tight and corrugated that track in is!
We arrive to one of the best camps on the Ningaloo Coast and get straight into boating, snorkelling and fishing, made even more fun by catching up with our mates @SarahandKeelanTravels while here.
We definitely experience some epic highs but also a few lows during our time at South Lefroy, which resulted in us retiring Big Red for good (or so we thought).
Stay tuned for next week’s episode where we manage to resurrect Big Red and have one of THE BEST DAYS on our trip. Subscribe now so you don’t miss it!
We hope you enjoyed watching this episode and thanks so much for the support and kindness on our videos! We're on the trip of a lifetime as we travel Australia full-time so subscribe now to see the whole adventure.

MY FAT A$$ DESTROYED YOUR MOTOR 😂 Thanks for the stitch up too
KIND REGARDS - KEEGAN
You owe me a 10 second boat
haha KEEGAN!
What a stunning location! Good to hear the boat motor kinks are being worked out. Looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks guys! 😃
Cool to see youse meet up with Sarah and Keelan. I've been following their adventures up that way too!
thanks legend!!
Go you bloody good thing keep up the good work and stay safe 🍻🍻🍻
Cheers Dave, hope all is well mate!!
We have never seen Yardie Creek so dry which is lucky for you guys . We have seen many a vehicle with a caravan , camper trailer or a plain 4wd stuck fast in the water passing through from the creek to the ocean . Anyway what a superb way to spend 2 weeks , enjoy yourselves and thanks for the ride along with you . PS over the years its has been a spectator sport watching people trying to cross Yardie Creek .
Thanks for tuning in guys 😁
Hey Guys great footage again ! Tan and i are enjoying it. We have been told mid to end June for our new Toy !! have fun Andy
Exciting times guys, might see you somewhere along the way 👍😁
Saw you guys out at Winderbandi packing up the other day..
Yer Iknow how you feel Brad when it comes to boat motors and trying to trust them each time you go out on the water and them playing up on you, it is frustrating but great to hear that you resurrected it in the next episode! Looking forward ro seeing that one, and nice that you got to catch up with Sarah and Kerlan as well, we follow them on YT and love there vids as well! Cheers phil
Thanks Phil, was pretty frustrating trying to get it sorted. Especially being off grid - thank god for starlink 🙌 Thanks so much for your support on our videos 😀
Noice Vid... One Day..
Cheers mate 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Awesome video 😎 Been looking at getting one of these boats, what hp is your outboard motor? Cheers 🍻
Dream location, dream team 😀😍. Hope you get the motor sorted 🤞🤞
ROBYN ❤
Thanks Robyn, it has been running strong since this was filmed 🙌😁
Hey guys, hoping you can get this engine repaired so you can continue your adventures, remembering you are full time, seeing how much you have used big red in short time it may also be worth looking at new engine if this one is a lemon, weigh up the costs of repairs vs new, it’s time we buy you a beer. The content on the ocean is great part of experience for you, and us couch surfers.. best wishes with this mercury, rowing is tough gig with wind and tides, travel with your handhelds radio or eperb for safety..in remote locations..
Hey guys & thanks for tuning in again! Thankfully this was the last trouble we had with the engine and she has has a ton of hours put on her without fail now 🙌🏼 yes we always carry our vhf, uhf, epirb etc all our safety gear lives in that little esky on the front 😊
Still plenty of awesome adventures to come with big red 😀
That’s great news Brad and Hayley, once you have a boat theirs no going back to just the land..best part is you don’t need to tow any of it.. enjoy.
A little fuel for your boat.. or a six pack for Patsy for break downs!
Thanks guys, will certainly put it to use for a bit of both 😉 what names do you want in the thanks part of the episode?
Salty sailors - is fine, it Doesn’t matter if you don’t use, we love what your doing.. you have inspired us to get out for the drive.. cheers..
Can’t wait for part 2 ❤
Thanks Joanne! Cant wait to share 😍😁
Loved part 1 ❤- looking forward to part 2
Thanks for tuning in 🙏😀
Bad luck with the motor dont let it ruin your travels...just enjoy your friends and the beautiful lefroy..
hope it was something easy to fix like fuel tank vent closed lol. great episode, well done, so envious
Yep can only assume that is it cause we haven’t had the issue since 👍🏼😀
Paradise. Can’t wait to get to WA! On the count down. 2 yrs can’t come quick enough.
Don’t worry it’s not going anywhere 😉
How’s the big Noah at 10:28!! 😂 great episode guys! Love your set up and the Ningaloo
Keegan 😂😂😂
I used to carry a bottle of metho in my boats for just that reason. The metho will force the water through the carburettor rather than it sitting in the bowl.
where would you add the metho? to the fuel tank?
@@our.australia.trip. i think adding some to the tank breaks the water down so engine runs smoothly.
Hope you sort out the outboard legend together epic content cheers
Great ep guys, what starlink pole are you using on the van please?
Thanks James! It’s a spacetek one, great bit of kit 👍🏼
get yourself a nice little 20hp yamie 4 stroke, get keegan to pay half
he does owe me one
Hey Brad and Patsy, I'm keen on purchasing a True Kit boat like you have, can you tell me what length yours is please. If your serious about letting yours go I'm interested.
Love your work by the way.
Hey Brian, its a 4m. We have it for sale right now 👍
@@our.australia.trip. Hi Brad, ran it past the wife and was threatened with divorce, I can but only dream.
Your boat is better than Sarah and Keelans… just saying 😂😂
It’s not even fair! It’s like twice the size 😅
Hi Guys Enjoying your content
Would a road van be able to get to your location or only off road ? Cheers
Hey Paul, the road gets pretty bad. Depends on how risky you feel. Id stick to the Cape Range NP, you basically get the same stuff without the hassle 👍
Great Episode
How do you go for fresh water if you stay for 2 weeks . Water in the fuel tank sometimes gets in from the breather, if it rains..
Take care have a wonderful week 🐬🦋🌈🍷🍷🦘
Thanks Paul! Patsy actually does a deep dive on the water situation in part 2! I do think the breather was the culprit! Thankfully that was the last of our boat issues and big red has been running strong on some awesome trips lately 💪🙌 Thanks for watching & same to you 😊
@@our.australia.trip. thanks again for taking the time to get back to me 👍 looking forward to seeing you both next week.
How did you guys create the google earth map with the orange route?
We create an animation over the google earth images using keynote 😊
We are at sth Lefroy now, here for the full 28 days. We try to get here every year. I noticed your starlink on a pole. What adapter are you using to attach it? I have a flagpole but the mount I bought didn’t fit, it was outside diameter not in. It was cheap 3D printed crap that collapsed when I tried to grind it down to fit. Love the effort you go to with different angles and shots. Well edited too (Former TV director/editor here). What camera do you use for your pieces to camera? Is it a DJI Osmo? Also as a former water skier, it’s no wonder the poor motor objected. There’s a good reason they use big V8s for ski boats!
Cheers and looking forward to your next ep.
Mark & Kerry
Hey guys, its a spacetek carbon fibre pole kit. Awesome bit of gear. Thanks for the kind words on our videos, we use gopro for a bunch of our vlog clips 😁 Enjoy beautiful South Lefroy 😍🙌
Seems like you have had a lot of issues with the motor. Did the bloke you bought it off seem pretty dodgy? Must of know it was on the way out.
Not really, i think it was in storage for a while. Working out the kinks while being new to boats, naturally some trial and error. We have it running mint now 🙌
instead of rowing get yourself a whitesnake electric back-up motor
More click bait. Never know what you’re really going to get with you guys anymore.
Sorry I’ll try break down further out at sea next time for ya
That would be Keelan 😉🤣👍🏽
Haha just taking the piss out of him 😉
@@our.australia.trip. 🤣🤣👍🏽
