NOWHERE TO STAY! Rottnest Island & Sandy Cape | Caravanning Australia with Inflatable Boat [EP48]

[@fleurneumann8430]

Definitely not a fail in getting in a rubber dinghy to Rottnest . We live here in Perth and always had 20/21ft boats which we took to Rotto and the afternoon return was often a hairy run . Rotto was always our April school holidays destination for a week in a Longreach or Geordie Bays villa. Quokka don’t live on the mainland except a small colony in the south west . You need to get yourself a cray loop and a bag for the crays …….makes catching so much easier .

[@mrwoody2]

Nice video. Just an FYI that we dont the call the stretch of water between Perth and Rottnest "the bay" we call it the Indian Ocean and yes its always wind - haha

[@emmagilham3708]

I love seals! They look like dog mermaids 🧜🏼‍♀️

[@our.australia.trip.]

They behave like it too so cute 🥰

[@stevelay1764]

Fantastic footage you guys, actually I followed the same route in 2018 escaping the NZ winter . It is wonderful to see it all again including a few spots that I missed. Keep up the great videos and marvellous narration.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@travelthecountry-aussieadv1730]

Still making our way through your videos and loving them! That little island where you took ‘big red’ is actually where they take you to swim with the seals. We had one of the best experiences of our trip right there!

[@our.australia.trip.]

So cool! We had no idea, it felt very sharky there so we werent very comfortable in the water haha

[@tonyfindlay1225]

Keep up the good work, use lock wire on the anchor shackles

[@wadeperrie]

Another great video, gee so glad you didn’t do the Rotto trip in your inflatable don’t think the Water Police would have been too impressed 😮. Looking forward to your trip north hope you are going to Gnaraloo

[@our.australia.trip.]

guy we bought the boat off said it used it to go over. we have vhf, flares, epirb, lifejackets etc

[@JenBolst]

Enjoyed your video, thankyou

[@our.australia.trip.]

Glad you enjoyed Jen! Thanks ☺️

[@wolftiedemann-jh8wg]

Quokkas are more like a nocturnal animal, that's why they look sleepy on Rotto during the day (bloody tourists keep them awake). On the mainland you hardly see them except at dawn and dusk. Saw some crays, either too small or too fast and escaped?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Yeah haha one was too fast and the other 3 went too deep in the cave once i set the gopro up 🤣

[@kevintreloar6577]

Thanks for another great video guys...such a beautiful place. Safe travels..kev

[@our.australia.trip.]

cheers Kev 🍻

[@ThisVagabondLife]

Simply wonderful imagery and narrative! Thanks, for the effort you put into making this.

[@Syphadeas]

Brilliant video as always guys! A mate and i took my 4m tinny across to Rotto once...never again 😂 definitely needed a bigger, more stable boat

[@our.australia.trip.]

Yep when the wind gets up it’s pretty ordinary, I would only attempt it on a complete glass off day. Anyhow, the bikes I reckon were a better way to see the island 🙌🏼

[@oliverdouglas9370]

I love watching u guys and love that u love WA , def my favourites 👍

[@our.australia.trip.]

We love it here 😍

[@robertarmbruster5650]

Thanks for sharing. I have been to Perth and surrounds too many times to count but have never been to Rottnest, thanks again.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks Robert, get over there one day if you can. Its a great day trip 👍

[@lauriejacob103]

Fantastic vid, really enjoyed it. Leave for the west on Tuesday. Can’t wait.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Have fun!

[@Charlie-ec3bc]

All so maybe it’s a wa thing hahaha I find 10 psi pretty good for most beaches I’ve driven on have gone lower . Great little boat 🚤 wish you could of thrown in a line .

[@philandclarepatch6262]

Another awesome vid guys! Never been to Rottnest but looking forward to going there one day! Thx phil

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers guys 😀

[@groves_aussie_adventures]

Great content. Thanks for the inspo

[@elwoodroadsmusic9639]

Love seeing my backyard through your lens! You'll find the seabreeze (wind!) will kick in every arvo most days, all the way up the coast

[@ShedintheValley]

Hey guys, loving your videos. Inspiring us to get another Van and get back out there. Keep up the natural flow.

[@Dogrockdog]

Enjoy Kalbarri. 3 night stay to see it properly. 4wd track just north of town to follow the river and kick back a day. Cliffs on the beach, cliffs inland. Also when you hit Exmouth and Ningaloo, check out the ranges , only 20 ks south and 10ks inland of town. Stop at every car spot for photos .

[@Charlie-ec3bc]

You guys our crazy glad you didn’t try take your great little inflatable to rotto . Great video never the less glad you had a good time.

[@MrGundawindy]

Thank God you took the ferry. I don't think the Rotto crossing in the inflatable would have been a good idea.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Yep, if we misjudged the conditions it would've been bad. The 4m inflatable is really quite impressive how well it handles the chop though, i would say better than a tinny of the same size.

[@craigjensen4179]

You guys are certainly living my dream. Keep it up. Love to get to WA one day

[@Accolades70]

Great vid... One day.....

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers mate 🤙

[@deeoh3708]

Its also school holidays in WA.. busy time!

[@Kb3164-t3z]

We alway park the vehicle facing down hill in WA. Usually toward the water. Makes it much easier to take off. Just a suggestion.

[@our.australia.trip.]

yep, unfortunately the 79 turns like a bus 🤣

[@Charlie-ec3bc]

Need to get your self a cray fish snare pole caint say I’ve ever had much practice at it but might help you with cray for dinner 😅

[@wandering_0z]

Great vid guys! Pros and cons for the truekit boat? Looking at getting one but not too sure just yet

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks! Its perfect for diving and very stable and capable on the water. Cons would be using it in croc country and fishing hooks could ruin your day if your into catching big fish.

[@63holden]

Look up hammerlock for the chain 😊

[@ajandl]

love your channel.. out of interest what drone are you using?

[@kenlouw2122]

Can we ask what googles you use to snorkel or is there a tip to keep screen clear? Or maybe it's the camera pics that are fooling into thinking we are seeing what you are seeing...lol

[@our.australia.trip.]

Baby shampoo is the secret rub it and rinse the mask before you dive and youll never have fog again! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2i4lYmHnrygnKssi=HWnB_uHQPJvwDGx9&t=459

[@kenlouw2122]

@@our.australia.trip. Thanks for tip - never heard of it, but will have to go and buy some Johnson's baby shampoo, or maybe you have a known one that works?

[@kenlouw2122]

Oh wow, I only just noticed you left a link to a video about it - we are going to watch that now!

[@johnh5215]

Hi guys, do you wash down your boat before packing it away? If so, I assume you also dry it off? I'm just looking for real life experiencies before we take ours out! 😂 Thanks

[@our.australia.trip.]

Ideally yes, but fresh water is scarce here and sand is plenty so be prepared for some salty and messy pack ups !!

[@michelleh9685]

Great video guys, im looking forward to getting over there one day. Question about the bikes, do they have both manual & electric bikes over there?

[@Dogrockdog]

Yep

[@RayleneKingsley-green]

What did you cook in this video with the tomato soup?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Spag bol

[@pata8167]

Zip tie or wire the D shackle so it doesn't come undone

[@GlenChainey]

Hey guys, what’s the horsepower of your Mercury outboard please? Thanks

[@our.australia.trip.]

15hp 👍

[@Accolades70]

Carpe Diem !

[@our.australia.trip.]
