We were up at that lookout in February 2018. It was a glorious day and met a couple of the locals up at the lookout and they said it was the best they had seen it in a long time. The views on that day were awesome. You could see all over King George Sound and out past Breaksea Island. We also enjoyed The Anzac Centre, a truly memorable place to visit and pay our respects.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

That sounds good Michael, would've loved to of seen it like that.

Hi Guys. Have been watching your videos for quite a while now. Honest and down to earth. We spent 6 months on the road last year, having left Sydney on Australia Day and made our way through to Adelaide and then followed the coast right around to Darwin in an On Road Evernew caravan that I've had for 22 years. We have subsequently sold that van and will be picking up our New Evernew Full Off Road van next February and then hopefully will be on the road full time and visit a lot of the out of the way places we couldn't do before. By the way Kurt, I'm 70 yrs young and I climbed the three trees that Aimz did . Keep up the good work.

Another fantastic video! Thanks for sharing guys! It's gonna suck when i watch all of your videos as i've been crunching them in on my weekends since i can't really go anywhere! Cheers!

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Haha bugger, it takes us a while to make them as well, we still have like 10-20 episodes to make.

[@jimbojones2457]

@@Sparkysontheloose keep up the good work guys!

Great vid. I lived in WA in the early 80s for a about 2 years. I used to do the Albany trip and head up the coast over a few days anytime I had mates or family over from the Vic to show them the best of WA. Looks like its all pretty slick and spendy now, back then you could walk over the rock bridge and under it.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Oooo interesting, glad you enjoyed it

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

We have spent so much time in that area it is almost like a second home. So much to see and do down there even though the weather can be a bit odd. Good on ya for picking up the rubbish on Norman's Beach. Such a beautiful area and a real shame it is getting so much junk washed up. A few years ago we never saw rubbish there at all. Did you notice a building on top of the dunes as you come out from the inlet to the beach? Used to have a big glass dome on it. It was built by the architect Wallace Greenham. We were lucky enough to have a look inside many years back. Awesome views of Mt. Manypeaks and the beach.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Yeah we sent the drone up there and was like wtf is that haha. Thought it was an air bnb or something.

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

@@Sparkysontheloose We did a page about another house Wallace built but there are a couple of pics of the dome house as it was before the dome came down if you are interested in having a look : www.wanowandthen.com/Whistlepipe-Gully.html

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Yes, I noticed it, backwards benny! Beautiful Albany - an oasis when coming from the east through barren, parched landscape and coming across luscious, lively Albany - although I must confess, that was 35 years ago. I think its time to go again!!

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Haha yeah we would pop back in if we had the chance.

[@maxcole1961]

good one guys

[@aniasekula5953]

Hi thank you for your informative videos and description below. This is very handy. I love tat you travel with your gorgeous dog. We have our Maltese Shitsu on trips with us almost always. Which brings me to a question. What do you do with your dog when you in National Parks? Do you sneak him in or do you actually leave him somewhere? I want to take ours to WA but dont want to miss on national parks so I wonder what to do with my beloved Chloe. Apologise it i was asked before and would love some tips - cheers and thanks again guys!

[@Sparkysontheloose]

G'day, travelling with a dog is our most common question. We have created a page on our website which gives all the information we have on how we do it. www.sparkysontheloose.com/camping-with-a-dog The most detailed info would be on our podcast kzbin.info/www/bejne/raOvXqCNd52sn5o Hope this helps, Cheers

[@nigelmorgan3449]

I see you have a mesh set up in the back for your mate did you leave the back seat there

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Nah back seat is gone and put a ply instead. Check out the Navara tour video for a closer look.

[@robertcronk480]

Hey guys can I get a bit of info on the car mirrors. I have the same ute and would love to fit a set.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Hey Robert, they're the Toyota Prado towing mirrors on eBay. You can just bolt them on, they need a lot of work.

[@thumpergman]

It took me months to stop hearing that marching sound from my time there

[@Sparkysontheloose]

True, never thought about the staff being subjected to it everyday.
