The Perfect Campsite - Ningaloo Station. Ep.64

- We had teamed up with CamperAustralis to hire a tinnie from exmouth for a week! Yewww Kurt was so excited. On our fifth day in Exmouth, we picked up the tinnie (which Blaine & Shenaid towed) and headed down to Ningaloo Station. We had booked a site at Winderabandi Point, as we had heard it was protected and a nice easy beach to launch the tinnie from. The road into the station, was quite corrugated but with the right tyre pressure and driving speeds, it was fine.
It cost us $75 per couple for a week! Bloody bargain and it was dog friendly. We spent 6 nights there, out on the tinnie every day trying to land those ‘big fish’. Although we did catch some fish, it was a little disappointing that we didn’t land any monsters or get continual bites. The boys ended up catching and cooking up a cod & a trevally. Shenaid got the biggest catches straight off the beach, landing two queenies at 75cm each.
Our good mates the Roving Russo’s were also camped right next to us. Which meant lots of campfires, chitchats & card games throughout the week. We made the decision to extend the tinnie hire by a day and go try some different spots. We packed up and headed to Exmouth Gulf station for a night. We arrived at midday, and launched the tinnie straight off the beach. In the first hour on the water, Blaine landed 2 squid! We also watched a massive manta ray hover around the boat. Its wing span would of been 2 metres at least! Unfortunately no fish, just squid for dinner!
That night, both boys did some more research for our final day with the tinnie. It was decided we would launch it near Learmonth Jetty and try our luck at some local shoals. Out for a good few hours, we had many bites but no luck landing a fish. Although a little disheartened with our fishing expedition, we all learned alot! Plus we saw an abundous of sea life and whales over our 8 days on the water.
We all helped clean the tinnie and dropped it back, before heading to a van park in Exmouth for a nice hot shower and clean out.
For those interested, to hire the tinnie it cost $500 for the week. Split that between two couples and we each paid $250 for the week. Great value if you’re in the exmouth area!
Next stop Coral Bay!

Wow - that blue water was sensational. Another fantastic location. The whale watching from the drone was better than the tinnie for us!
Haha glad you loved it Benny, we could've got heaps more but there are big fines for droning whales 🐋. So you have to be careful.
The boys have provided... Wow what an effort .......
Man that was awesome. You guys are truly living the dream.
Thanks Brad! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great clip, went in there for 7 days in 2017 and came out 27 days later 🤠, we stayed at South Lefroy. Lost my drone to a Eagle while filming the old light house 😢. Magic spot
These camps seem to trap you in with there beauty haha. Bugger about the drone, I'm always paranoid about the birds. Thanks for watching Kym. 🤙🤙
50 shades of blue ⏺◾ 🔵 ⬜ excellent videography 📹
Thanks 🤙
Another great video keep them coming love watching them
Thanks Lyndon, got some epic episodes coming.
Great work guys! Can’t wait to get there!
Thanks guys!🤙🤙
Beauty, I’ve been waiting for this 👍
Excellent video quality guys.
Yeeew, cheers guys
Great Vid - thanks fro sharing - the drone footage of the whales was great !
that region is one of my favourite holiday locations
Thanks for watching! We could've gotten heaps of footage of them but drones laws forbid it. You're going to love the next episodes.
living the dream! can't help but be abit jelly lol
Haha yeah in these coming vids we have the time of our life. These places has to be bucket listed for everyone.
Beautiful 💓 would love to go here one day
All the way out and the girls caught the biggest fish off the beach :) Queenie on a BBQ with some butter and lemon pepper would be awesome...Poor Rusty, our dogs used to love going out in the boat. I am surprised the fishing wasn't better but a portable fish finder is really helpful if you don't know the area well. There are some really top spots to fish in the Gulf, we think it is a better place to fish than on the west side of the cape.
Haha yeah the girls really showed us up. Yeah Rusty has a strange personality but that's why we love her. We were at the end of the season so I'm guessing that it's all fished out and we didn't have to long to explore as we were fighting the weather. We had a sonar on board (Deeper) and found heaps of structure but I think we had to go out to deeper water.
Great video, probably your best yet.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice one guys great pics 🐟😎
Thanks Phillip, glad you enjoyed.🤙
You will love Waroora:)
It was so good we might go back shortly haha
Great vid, i had a good laugh and had to double check at the Export tinnie in the campfire. So Australian of you lol
Haha the cans are made so thin these days they just evaporate meaning less landfill.
Thanks guys,be up that that in 5 sleeps for a month hopefully the fish will be a bit more cooperative lol. The water is so blue bloody awesome looking. Safe travels
Haha cheers Andrew, hopefully we won't be far behind as we are thinking of going back up. We were at the end of the season so hopefully they are on the bite more.

I am watching a dvd. Get sea water and cook your new potatoes. Then in the end put them in a fry pan. The salt will come out and crisp up the outside of the potatoes.
Yummy! I'll let chef Amyee know haha
Another great vid guy's, the new gopro footage looks great and kudos for droning from the boat I know from experience it not easy! Lol
Cheers Daryl
Haha the spark had low battery when we were beaching the boat. I was like 'Quick Blaine!!!' haha good times.
i must have just miss you guys
G'day Dave, this video was last year around October I think. We are very behind on our episodes as they take so long to make. Thanks for watching.
Hey guys I’m just wondering how you set up your folding solar panel on the roof? Ever folding solar panels I have seen flip the other way, did you guys modify yours to flip the otheg way ? Thank you also great video
hmm this comment manged to slip out of our notifications. Its a custom made slide out that i did myself.
Beautiful vid.... You travel with a dog so how do you go in the national parks? I'm intending to travel and would like a doggy companion with me. 🙋
Check out our travelling with a dog podcast video, it explains everything. Cheers
Great vid.
Can u remember what site at winderabandi you stayed at
What month were you at exmouth and ningaloo. We are planning a trip for mid to late April. 2020. Thanks for the viddy
Cheers Marc, we went in November so that meant no people but winds and less fish. Apparently from April to September it's meant to be choc O block with people. So get in early and good luck.
Great video guys. Did you take the Minilya Road in?
Nah, just the normal road. All roads are bad at Ningaloo.
Did you have issues getting your caravan through any of the beachfront sites? We have a 2wd caravan much like yours and tow it with a Ranger. Do you rekon we'll be able to get to sites on Winderbandi ??
Hi from NZ
G'day Brian!! First time commenter yeeew 🤙🤙
Awesome place - shame the owners are grumpy buggas.
Yeah we have heard from a lot of people. Pretty sure the station has just lost the lease so a lot may change.
Have you play with audacity free software.
I used to years ago but Adobe premier Pro does it just as good.
Which part of Down Under was that mate?
Coral Bay, Western Australia
What time of year are you there thanks
How much to stay at Winderbadi Point per night? Great place
Recently taken over by the government. $8 adult per night, $6 concession card holder per night, $3 child per night (over 5 and under 16 years)
What number bays were you staying at?
No idea sorry
how come Phil wasnt wearing camo pants?!!
Haha dunno, might have to ask him when we're back up there.
@@Sparkysontheloose try going out north passage of winderabandi then head north 1km to around 40m-50m deep.
you weren't catching anything coz u were fishing in sand patches...
Haha, the drone footage you're referring to is us just boating back in to camp. We were fishing on the calm side of the main reef, amongst the bombies and in 30m of water. We had some good hits but it wasn't constant and our gear is not designed for boat fishing so that was a struggle.
