    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.

    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 .

    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

    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 😀

    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.

    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..

      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 😊

    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.

    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.

      @our.australia.trip.  Před 2 měsíci +1

      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 🙌
