Bremer Bay & Ravensthorpe Ep.77 Roadtrip Australia

[@jimbojones2457]

So good. WA is definitely one of the most beautiful states in the country. Next July i have a big 7 week trip planned through the desert from Coober Pedy along the Anne Beadell Highway up to Laverton, Karijini National Park, Port Headland up to Broome then Cape Levique, Gibb River Road, Kununurra, Lake Argyle, Wolfe Creek Crater, Tanami Track, Alice Springs then Lambert's Geographical Centre of Australia, Chambers Pillar where the trip will end at Kulgera Roadhouse. It's with a camper trailer club and i just can't wait! But i'm really hanging out to hit the West coast! Cable Beach in Broome etc. I want to catch a fish on the west coast. And i won't leave until i do! LOL. I will definitely retire up there somewhere, so beautiful. Your videos just give me extra inspiration AND knowledge about our beautiful country. You've sold me. I'm gonna become a patron.

Love it!! Thank you so much for being a patreon. Your going to love our next episodes especially going through the Goldfields, its beautiful country. That's a great route you have picked, loads to see! Hopefully we can pump out some 'before you leave check these' or 'what spare parts we took' videos, would they help you out?

[@jimbojones2457]

@@Sparkysontheloose my pleasure legends! I'm really looking forward to your next uploads! Prep videos are always good! I would be arrogant if I said they wouldn't help me out as there's always something we haven't thought of before a big trip, no matter how good at preparing we think we are. So yes I'd love to see videos like that and they would help many others too! Cheers guys! I bought a stubby cooler!

[@ashleegiles4548]

Awesome video, thanks! We just did a trip to Bremer bay and loved the beaches. Your drone shots of blossoms beach are amazing and make me want to go back.

[@maxcole1961]

Another great clip thanks

[@darylephillips6778]

Loved this video. It was a pity that you did not stay in that area for long as there was so many places to explore free camping can be found in some off these places. The mill you found was a mine the poppett head had been removed many years ago. Where Kurt got stung by the bee was the shaft now filled in. The mines name was the Mouri Queen the other image with a head frame in it was the Yellvetton Mine a rich copper and gold mine. It is now full of water. Keep up the good work cheers Daryle

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Haha Kurt was right after all! We would love to hang around longer but everyday on the road costs money so we do our best. Most people would've just drove straight through Ravens.

[@samwilson303]

Those squeeky toys are fierce in W.A hey Kurt lol. Love those beaches

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Hahaha! They come out of no where! It's funny when rusty hears them while we are editing.

[@flightofthefox-aussietrave1430]

Man how beautiful is Bremer Bay! Those landscape drone shots are gorgeous! Great video guys 👏👏

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Cheers guys 🤙🤙

[@flightofthefox-aussietrave1430]

Man this place is beautiful! Great vlog you guys! We absolutely loved our South West Coast trip! Enjoy! 👏👏👏

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

If you went straight to Esperance from Ravensthorpe on the main road you missed some awesome campsites and scenery along the coast. Fitzgerald National Park all the way along to Masons, Starvation and Munglinup Beach and then further along to Quagi. Stokes would have been a no-go because of Rusty but there is a heap to see along that bit of coast.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Stay tuned mate, you never know which direction we will take 😊😊🤙

Good on yah legends love watching your videos

Cheers Robert 🤙

[@Jeff_MT09]

Thanks for another fantastic episode. Wonderful scenery. I would really like to see a ‘catch and cook’ video! Those herrings looked good enough to eat. Happy cruising. Regards from Melbourne. Cheers. Jeff

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Bugger, if I catch them again I'll get them a go. They have very mixed reviews on eating quality.

[@Jeff_MT09]

Yes, a bit like the reputation of mullet and tailor. Eaten really fresh, they are all really tasty. 👍😀🐠🐠

[@wazza9089]

@@Sparkysontheloose Oh please dont underestimate herring. Like Jeff said, freshly caught and eaten they are a fine fish. They dont freeze well so dont catch more than you can eat. Caught and eaten the same day is the way to go, even the next night they are nice as long as they are filleted the same day as were caught. They are also a good bait fish so i understand the trade off lol

[@Sparkysontheloose]

haha i catch some monster herring in esperance which you will see in the next episode. I use them mainly for fish bait and crab bait but i only keep around 4 as the freezer is normally full of amz crap.

[@shiretravels]

Great work guys! I don't get the grey nomad discount either...... Can't wait for the Esperance video!!

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Cheers poppy!🤙🤙

Hey Adam, thanks for your kind words. Which state are you guys in? we're in a bit of a whirlwind point of the trip at the moment.

Hi guys drove passed your camp yesterday hope to see some nice videos of Whyalla 👍

[@Sparkysontheloose]

We love the area, had some dodgy weather though which didn't help.

Grey hair dye might be the have to be on the shopping list!

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Haha a great investment.

[@philipw7557]

Nice one guys pity about the salmon 🐟😥👍😎

[@Sparkysontheloose]

All good we caught heaps at warra. Would've been nice though.

[@steveturton1425]

Another great video of the south west, looking fwd to Esperance. Bee stings, scrape the sting out, don’t use tweezers.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Cheers Steve, I'll let amz know haha

[@drewzy01]

Hey Guys, Looking to do a trip down south to Bremer Bay… maybe camping at peppermint beach. Can you take camper trailers down to the beach to camp in? Andrew

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Hello Andrew, no idea sorry. Best to check wikicamp comments

[@johngrant7979]

Great video but I’m really surprised that you didn’t visit the beaches between Ravy and ESPERANCE such as Mason Bay, Starvation Bay, Munglinup Beach, Stokes Inlet, Quagi Beach.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Patience John, stay tuned 🤙😀

[@wazza9089]

Ah bit of local knowledge would have helped, never seen salmon caught where you parked up with the van but about 500m further around and you would have had a fighting chance. It did surprise me a bit when you went down onto Bremer beach with the van on, credit to the NAV there! Did you get a salmon while you were there? I seem to recall you replying from a post in another vid that you did. Anyways, another great vid so thanx

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Local knowledge is good but it was a ghost town mate haha. I think the salmon run was on its way towards Perth so we missed it regardless. We caught one in the next episode but it was a pretty disappointing size haha.

[@BerlandMedia]

Very nice video! Your footage and edit looks great :) Doing some droning myself if you need some inspiration :)

[@bernardmarden2775]

Nice getting charitable seniors discounts at caravan parks, because given the number of us out there swarming caravan parks a seniors discount doesn’t seem to make much sense to me ☹️

[@Sparkysontheloose]

It's very confusing haha

How’d your Hankooks tyres go? I had 2 sidewalls blow hate them,

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Loved them, great value for money. never had any blow outs just some punctures on the first set. For what we did they handled really well

[@melmeow4185]

Question and im sorry if u have been asked a million times already, i just want to know is it hard traveling with your dog and finding places to stay also what do you do when you can't take your dog into places that you want to explore?

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Our number 1 question haha. Check out our travelling with a dog podcast, it covers everything on the topic. Cheers.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

I have a tip for you. Buying clothes. I hate it. Trousers do you know your size. Before you put them on. Button them up and put them around you neck. If the touch right around then they fit on your waist.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Nice tip again Russ. We love shopping op shops so that will come very handy.
