  • This is the K'gari (Fraser Island) we never knew existed , and what a place it is. You would be hard pressed to find better beach camping than this. Not only was it paradise, the local wildlife was putting on a show like nothing I've seen before with up to at least a dozen whales at once right out the front of camp. This is an adventure I will never forget and feel very thankful we were able to experience this incredible place. We will be back!

    Was there in July and loved it. 16 psi on the car for the 8 days. Yes Awinya Creek is absolutely special. Stunning sunsets too. The whale footage was unbelievable. Thanks.

    You guys definitely got the OH WOW, I actually don’t think we’ve seen K’Gari displayed so stunningly. Well done, my jaw dropped with the whales. Beautiful family, beautiful captures, beautiful memories. I love your story telling and this is my latest favourite.

      Ohhhhh Marg, you guys have literally made our day!!! We had an absolutely amazing time during our stay here and we put so much into this editing to give it the justice it needed. It's so nice that you have noticed :) We don't do this for the vanity, but the comment you made really hit the nail on the head, as we put a lot of time and effort into story telling through video. Thanks guys!

    As a fairly new subscriber to your page I was really impressed with the video. Great content and also great editing. I love Fraser, have been several times but never camped at Awinya creek. Will definitely stay there in the new year. Keep up the good work.

    Cracking Ep guys to a awesome spot, I love k'Gari fished and camped there all my life, but my wife hates the dingoes around the camps there as her and her mates were put in the surf by a pack of them, so she is shirt scared of them now,

    • @SmartTouringSystems
      @SmartTouringSystems  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thanks for watching mate. There where a lot of dingoes on the eastern side that's for sure, however we never felt threatened.

    Question, did you only get bogged the once? Do you think if you took the 490 you still would've got bogged?

    • @SmartTouringSystems
      @SmartTouringSystems  Před 17 dny

      We got bogged also on the eastern side. To be honest it was mainly me not being on the ball. And could have possibly lowered tire pressures further. But yes a lighter van is always going to make it easier. 👍🏼

      Absolutely no dramas mate. Just some common sense things like packing away your rubbish etc. Our kids are a bit older and we don't let them away from camp at night.
