We pronounce Exmouth as Exmuhth :) loving the videos

[@OnePackWanderers]

Intuitively that’s what we thought because it’s definitely how it would be pronounced in other English speaking countries. And then we looked up several Australian vloggers who all pronounced it Ex-MOUTH. Now I have no idea what to think 😂

[@marcko90000]

@@OnePackWanderers 😄 Go with whichever pronunciation you feel most comfortable with, people will understand you either way. Hope you both have a wonderful trip on the remainder of your time here in Australia!

[@diannecain1]

“Ex mouth” is the way us Aussie pronounce it

[@tw25rw]

I'm Australian and say it Exmuth. But I've lived in England..

[@marcko90000]

​@@diannecain1 ​Yes but we have a bit of a history of pronouncing places how they are spelled and not always accurate. Also, ​ @OnePackWanderers you are going to experience the same when you eventually reach Tasmania, if you ever visit Lachlan, Tasmania you will hear different pronunciations.

I LOVE the raw budgeted exploration you guys are doing here in Oz. Makes for great viewing actually. Honestly have preferred your vlogs over other big travel youtubers at the moment... You two are so genuine and just so chill. Just keep doing what ya doing it's great. What your capturing is very well balanced. 🎉🎉

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hey thanks a lot, the tight budget makes us self-conscious sometimes so this is nice to hear

[@libbypeace68]

@@OnePackWanderers No, don't feel self-conscious! Budget travelling creates some of the best discoveries and experiences. I backpacked in Europe in true budget style, buying marked down tins of food in supermarkets where we couldn't read the language and had no idea what was in the tin, lol ... makes for some fun!

[@jasonbarnes5605]

I'm with you with the tight budget. More down to earth. Love the way you are showing us our country. Very cool. Anyone with lots of money can travel and film their experiences and to be honest, I'm enjoying your videos more . Keep doing what you're doing, it's great!

When do you expect to be in south east Qld?(Sunshine Coast). Unless you are taking an inland route? It would be great for some of your Aussie fans to meet up with you.

[@seamusobrien2675]

One of the things I love about Australia are the little self-served vegetable stalls, where not only do people not nick (that's shop lift in Australian) the vegetables, they don't take the box with all the money either. This is the standard that societies must reach to be safe. It's a small compensation for having all the other things in the natural environment that will kill you on your journey.

[@craziewill]

it's so sad we don't get to see such behaviour and social standards in 99% of the country

[@GardeningCookingNature-zx8np]

You can get some great produce of high quality and some that is not common in grocery stores.

Cheveyo's accent is getting better. He now sounds South African lol. Keep going mate, you'll get there.

[@OnePackWanderers]

I’m rolling 😂🤣

[@Shift0231]

South African accent 😆 - essentially a mix of Aussie and New Zealander - which makes sense since you’ve spent time in both places

[@hammmer55]

From Arizona. Was just on the west coast August-September 2023. Saw a lot of where you were. Spent a month in Kalbarri and ventured out to many beaches (4x4 required). Absolutely stunning. I’m ready to go back! Safe travels

[@matthewcullen1298]

Nice one mate. Hope you get to see the east coast. There is plenty to see.

[@hammmer55]

Absolutely! I’ve been to Australia 6 times now. Spent a year with a mate driving around the entire country and down the middle. I just can’t get enough of it. Maybe Palm Cove north of Cairns for my next trip. Cheers

[@FionaEm]

At the risk of another pronunciation correction 😝 Carnavon is pronounced C'n-AR-v'n and Exmouth is Ex-mth 😊 Tks for keeping your Mazda plug low-key; a much more genuine approach than other KZbinrs. Gorgeous shots of the bay & sunset! I've never been to WA because health problems scotch travel for me these days, so I'm living vicariously through you guys 😊 Cheers from Melbourne!

[@MaccaMJ]

You’re right about Carnarvon’s pronunciation, but the other is “Ex-mouth.” I made the same mistake as you until I got there!

[@michaelhall5429]

Nah exmouth is pronounced how its written. Been here 10 years and have never heard exmth

[@mrboogang]

@@MaccaMJ I was just about to reply this exact thing - it's EX-mouth!

I really enjoy seeing your take on the world. I think you did a fine job with the reef videos. Keeps enjoying your travels and thanks for sharing. OH, and I am totally on team BIG THINGS!!! Tia for scale

[@kymcruickshank7246]

Just for a piece of trivia for you. Exmouth was known a while back for having the largest American Naval Submarine base in Australia. The town was created to house and supply them. So the place used to be FULL of Americans. 😀 When I was a kid we’d be amazed by the accents. 😂 Also, if your headed to Darwin check out the American presence there during WW2. It was a big deal. And the place still has a large American armed forces contingent

[@paultams54]

More recently it caters for the joint Australian and United States naval communication station located on the north-west coast of Australia, 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of the town of Exmouth, Western Australia.

[@HighTowerAU]

Darwins aviation mueseum has a b52 bomber inside.

[@HenriHattar]

It was NOT an American naval base but an Australian facility that allowed the US to use it.

[@Berry-oc8ti]

Brisbane has a memorial along the northside of the the River. Dedicated to the U.S Navy Sub Base that was a vital staging area for U.S Naval Forces in WWII.

[@surfsup65]

$8 for a sausage roll is outrageous. That is price gouging.

[@jamesrobinson4429]

Yes I agree, what's going on in our Country, apparently food vendors were selling a sausage sizzle at the Sydney vivid show a few days ago for $8.60 now that's a rip-off,a slice of bread with a thin sausage on top.

[@Natsymons]

But also don’t forget these towns are remote and everything has to travel a long long way to get there. If you’ve seen the price of fuel in these areas you’ll understand.

[@Shift0231]

Yeah, nah - ridiculous price for a snag roll! Sounds like the locals are cashing in on the tourist whale-watching high season - tends to happen in tourist towns - they Jack up the prices in peak times for the tourists.

Port Hedland is/was magic for sunsets. I lived there a couple of times in the '80's and saw some absolutely breathtaking sunsets. I think a lot of it was due to the iron ore dust emanating from the port, a side effect of loading the bulk carriers.

I love Exmouth ,the water is so blue and clean. Twelve years ago it was popular but we could book a couple of weeks out and we were lucky enough to get the last spot at the National Park overlooking the beach for 5 days. We did the reef swim twice on clear days and saw sea turtles. You can wade out to the water in Exmouth just 50 metres and it's shallow and full of colourful fish. The sunsets in that part of the coast are unbelievable.

Thanks again, so sad you didn't get more time in Coral Bay guys but glad you had a snorkelling experience anyway in Exmouth. So many incredible sunsets await you as you head up the Western Coast. Fingers crossed Broome's Cable Beach does the right thing for you. It's a well known thing here that after Mother's Day in May Aussie caravanners etc migrate North so accommodation, campsites (free or otherwise) are hard to get and the costs dramatically increase. Australia IS expensive to travel around hence many of us go to Asia..lol Looking forward to your future offerings and adventures in the Pilbara plus. Happy Trails :)

Lovin the vids, you guys have really adopted the Aussie vibe. We found that, the more rural you travel, the further in advance you need to book places, not surprised that Exmouth Holiday Park was booked out for a year. So many people are doing the lap now and small places can't handle the volume. Can't wait for the Tassie vids, we just got back from travelling around Tassie for 2weeks in a camper.

[@yippie6862]

I'm not sure I would have gone into the ocean around that area. They have box jellyfish and irukandji sometimes. At least it wasn't the worst part of the year for them which is in October and November.

[@PeteTAus]

Indeed @OnePackWanders !!! As Yippe rightly cautions, if you don't have the suits like you had on the reef, then you should think twice before swimming in the ocean up there and further north. The major box jellyfish and/or the Irukandji box jellyfish are super small and translucent. The body is about the size of a sugar cube and the tentacles range in size up to about a metre or so. Contrary to popular belief, applying vinegar is not recommended, because it can actually have the opposite effect to bluebottle stings, where it instead can stimulate and activate the stinging barbs that might not have triggered when first coming into contact. Sorry to be a wet lettuce leaf 🥴🫤🙃😎

[@jillkimball]

Box jellyfish and irukandji are a summertime occurrence, so these two are well outside the season where they have to worry-especially this far south.

You 2 should so make nature documentaries, the UK has David Attenborough and the US has Tia & Cheveyo, and your "nature documentaries" would be by far the most fun, maybe not the most correct, informative or scientific, but defiantly more fun, and if that gets people watching nature documentaries who wouldn't otherwise, I'm all for it 👍
