'The Big Lap' Original Series EP 7 - Cobourg, Crocs & CATASTROPHE!

Start from Episode 1 • 'The Big Lap' Original...
G’day Guys,
After exploring the Red Centre and spending another 6 weeks at Lake Argyle making pancakes and doing other work to replenish our bank account, we turn East and head to Darwin and beyond.
Cobourg Peninsula is the remote northern tip of the Northern Territory in Arnhem Land and we spend a week there dodging crocodiles, looking for Banteng buffalo, catch and cook fish on the beach and trying to avoid a bushfire.
Then it's down through Kakadu, Mataranka Hot Springs and East towards Roper River and Lawn Hill on our quest to reach Cape York before the wet season hits.
As luck would have it though, we find ourselves stranded on the side of a remote station track with a collapsed wheel bearing.
Here's what's in this episode:
• Mindil Beach Market in Darwin
• Cobourg Peninsula - Garig Gunak Barlu National Park
• Exploring Victoria Settlement
• Looking for the elusive Banteng Buffalo
• Catching fish and cooking them on the beach
• Yellow Water Cruise in Kakadu National Park
• Mataranka Hot Springs
• Camping at Roper River
• Flat tyre at Hells Gate
• Break down on Lawn Hill Station
Enjoy the show & please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE
See you on the road.
Cheers
Steve, Jen & Girls

Determined to get ‘off the beaten track’ and find some real adventure, the Baile’s set themselves the goal of visiting every state and territory and reaching the extremes of the continent...that’s the north, south, east, west, the exact centre and even the highest point at Mt Kosciuszko.
All while travelling many of Australia’s toughest roads and visiting many spectacular remote destinations.
Share their adventure in this 10 episode series filmed over 2 years that will give you hours of entertainment, ideas, plenty of laughs . . . and a few tears.

I enjoyed watching your DVD series years ago. I am totally enjoying watching your journey again. After following some KZbinrs on their trip around Australia, I felt like I was not going to be able to afford the set-up needed to travel the country. You have reminded me that all you need is the basics and a sense of adventure. Thank you.
