Wave Rock & Kalgoorlie - E38

Hello again everyone,
This week we take you out to Wave Rock & Kalgoorlie. When most people do the lap of Australia these places are sometimes missed because if you come from the east you either turn left to Esperance or Right towards Kalgoorlie & wave rock.
We had the time to make a trip out to both of these places and we were pleasantly surprised with what we saw. We would also highly recommend both of these places to people travelling in the area. The only thing we wished we did different was spend more time out here.

Thanks for watching & we will see you next week
Cheers,
Matt & Holly

After the brothel tour I didn't think you would be so impressed by the big hole

No doubt about that town Kalgoorlie it will always have a hook on me I grew up there and they were the best years of my life beautiful video ❤️

[@reneecarol5646]

I've been in Kalgoorlie for 20 years. Nothing wrong with it just some people. Glad you enjoy you travels

[@hye_nyyyyy]

Thanks for the nice video and some explanation about Kalgoorlie. I'm moving to Kalgoorlie next week. Can't imagine how my life is gonna look like cause it seems like very different from Perth, but also so exciting tho!😊

[@SteppieWick]

Hahah Kal is the place to be! It's a different place from everything but now my home!

[@sadiqandnature]

Good luck

[@PaulBKal]

If ever you come back to Kal, I’ll take you down the wood lines. Fantastic history. And a great 4WD experience

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Another great video. I love upload Monday. Happy Trails.

[@OverlandTravellers]

Mick Middle thanks for watching every Monday mate! We really appreciate the support.

[@mrsgreen1653]

Hooo wheee ... it looked like a chilly morning. Those can be the best though as the mornings are usually still.

[@derekjarman1638]

Great video guys! Wish I had made it out there to see the rock and the pit. Oh and a personalized plate in WA is about $600 - at least that is what my dad had paid.

[@adventuresrus1842]

Keep it up beautiful places in Australia

[@philipw7557]

Nice one guys 👍😎

[@BrandonMorrisby]

Love the channel! So inspiring, I'm going on a week's trip at fraser end of this month

[@OverlandTravellers]

Brandon Morrisby mate you’ll have to tell me how it is! Pretty keen to take the ute there :)

[@BrandonMorrisby]

@@OverlandTravellers Will do! Enjoy the rest of your trip

[@jamiemarsden2557]

good that you like my local town, should of went to check out the old "two-up" place which is rare they still aloud to play

[@lmlmd2714]

WA is gorgeous - Perth is one of the most relaxing places I've ever had the pleasure to live in. I've always got a soft spot for Darwin, but Perth is just lovely and you've got so many lovely places for weekends. Wave rock, the Pinnacles, Rotto, Jurien Bay. It's paradise.

[@lliamwebster6882]

... GBAR mate!

[@simondigregorio9923]

With the personalised number plates in WA they dont have to pay an annual fee for them. A fully personalised plate is around 300 dollars. Then the plate is yours for life. I suppose that's why they are more popular than other parts of australia.

[@OverlandTravellers]

We thought that might have been the case, we were looking at getting one for our troopy but in NSW you need to pay an annual fee which is above $250

[@Micko1987]

you missed out on the broady burger! I used to go there years ago when I was an apprentice, we would ride up there on our motorbikes and get a burger!

[@twostrokeandsawdust]

Pretty much sums up wave rock ha! "Wow, it's a wavy rock"

[@OverlandTravellers]

Ron F I love giving my viewers a visual experience with complex and diverse descriptors of the locations I go to.

[@SteppieWick]

I miss my life as a miner in Kalgoorlie 😔

[@liamandrewartha4803]

The 15000 people would have lived where the broadarrow pit is now, interesting to see where I live featured on an OLT video.

[@OverlandTravellers]

Liam Andrewartha ah that’s where then! I suppose they would have been pretty basic little dwellings as well.

[@liamandrewartha4803]

@@OverlandTravellers yep! Certainly not 5 star living for miners back in the day.

When I went to Wave Rocka long time ago, I realised it was the subject of trick photography. It is about 1/3 the size of the photos.

[@phrayzar]

Typical OT epicness, onya !

[@OverlandTravellers]

phrayzar cheers mate!

[@hrsniperguy]

Kalgoorlie is the place for me, Pubs, Brothel "cough" tour "cough", and more pubs.

[@OverlandTravellers]

hrsniperguy and don’t forget gold in the ground! Let’s go back in time to the 1800’s it would have been a hoot.

[@jamesbushy9031]

Tuffn up luv

[@tonylawton4097]

Just been to broad arrow, had a broady burger yeah! Your tag on the tavern gutter pretty well faded away unfortunately

[@OverlandTravellers]

We will have to go back and go over it!

[@samec666]

Didn't know the goldfields were west of Perth!!

[@OverlandTravellers]

Sam c bloody hell did I say that 😂 hey who knows could be stacks of gold in the ocean

[@Laurajanehahn]

"this episode we head west of perth" - that would be the ocean not the goldfields

[@OverlandTravellers]

Laurajanehahn yes we have been told roughly 780000 times. But I dare say there would be gold to the west under the sea 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@FighterTCat]

If you had continued on about 15-20 minutes from broad arrow you could have seen a massive proccessing plant owned by the chinese

[@willo8856]

East of Perth . ;-)

[@simonlombardo6576]

The personalised plates have gone up a bit here now, they start at about $550, but no annual fees. In the N.T. they are apparently only about $200 with no annual fees, and almost every second car has them! As for the "town" of broady, that was of the era when building materials were bloody expensive. When they moved, they would salvage the materials and take them too, anything left was pillaged. There are plenty of ghost towns around the goldfields, and nothing much left of most of them. I suppose a true sign of how tough those times were. Some wonderful history throughout the area though 👍

[@Malc664]

Whats that ugly wall on the rock? Detracts form the natural beauty. They could at least make it look like rock.

[@OverlandTravellers]

GGFCHMMAL that’s exactly what we said. I think it’s to keep walkers safe.... but I think it would be better no walkers up top and no ugly wall 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Malc664]

@@OverlandTravellers Yeah keep people off the top.
