the Toyota looks absolutely stunning in these landscapes, love your work guys!

[@SharonSmithAus]

Really enjoyed this episode. You two are fabulous the way you capture the beauty of our country so stunningly. The artistry in these shots was amazing. Thank you for letting us come along on your adventures. ❤

[@our.australia.trip.]

That’s so nice of you to say, thank you for enjoying the episodes as much a we do creating them 🥰🥰🥰

[@effkay3691]

Love Shark Bay. The more I watch these adventure channels the more I realise how truly unlucky so many travelers are with mishaps and “everything going wrong”. I travelled around Australia for 7 months towing a camper. Nothing went wrong. Except the air filter and a flat tyre.

[@our.australia.trip.]

It's awesome hey!! Haha that is lucky, we had cv batteries, chest fridge and hot water heater break on us in our first month of travelling 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@matthewtrigwell7803]

Just arrived in Denham, can't wait to explore after watching this!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Epic!! Hope the weather is good down there 😁 Enjoy!!🍻

[@petermoore5628]

Hi Brad & Hayley that was a fantastic episode indeed, the drone footage of the wildlife was amazing. You are getting better and better each episode, I also enjoy the commentary. Hayley I hope you recovered from your strange feeling experience after being in the hot tub, that must have been rather scary not knowing what was going on. We do have some fantastic scenery up in the Northern part of WA. Keep the episodes coming and stay safe and enjoy the trip of a life time. Cheers Peter

[@our.australia.trip.]

G'day Peter & thanks for watching. I think this would have to be our favourite episode yet & yes we a constantly learning & trying new things to improve the videos 😀 It was a bit but I had seen that before and was pretty confident if we cooled her down she would be right. Absolutely amazing some of the stuff we have seen so far & cannot wait to share 🙌

[@davidharlem6824]

What a stunningly gorgeous part of the world. That drone footage is honestly some of the best I have ever seen. Love your rig. More than a little envious. Thanks guys!!

[@our.australia.trip.]

It blew us away David, incredible landscapes & such diversity! Thanks for the kind words mate, we love it too - she's a beaut 🙌😁

[@goodevins9408]

Similarly reaction to hot tubs for me scary when it happens. Enjoy your content thanks for sharing.

[@our.australia.trip.]

I reckon, I looked over and patsy was a shade of grey 😨 Thanks for watching 😊

[@suekeane]

[@snakeinthegrass7630]

Same here 35 years ago I was there. No problems with bookings anywhere. Visited Natures Window near Kalbarrie. There where 5 people there. 2 years ago there must have been close to 200.😮

[@phillipwhite4741]

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed 😁 How good is it 🙌

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

Fabo guys, captured beautifully. Love that you paddled over to the other side of Big Lagoon to share what it’s like, that sand colour is so intense. I also enjoy all your informative bits too, keep them coming lovely people. Cheers Marg 🧡

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks Marg & Steve. Always appreciate you guys watching & the kind comments 🥰

We luv you guys, great episode cheers on the beers🤙

Thanks Cam & really appreciate you going the extra mile to support us (and keep us hydrated 😉)

[@justvanningit]

Top episode team 😁 awesome footage. Wish we could have explored this area. Next time for us.. Safe travels 🙌🏻

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks legends! We should catch up for a beer sometime!!

[@badajoma]

Great video guys❤ Awesome aerial footagel, views we didn't see 25yrs ago👏

[@our.australia.trip.]

Oh it’s just stunning, I have never run the drone out of battery so frequently! Spending 30 minutes flying around has become a common occurrence here 🤩

[@frankguernier2280]

Re the door handle. Keep a bottle of blue Loctite handy. Lightly coat the threads of loose screws. A permanent problem solver.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Great tip frank & will do mate

[@robyndehavilland1609]

So much really stunning footage in this episode. The landscape and the marine life look wow. Red dirt and red cliffs are one of my most favourite things, you are going to see a lot more as you go further north ❤️

[@our.australia.trip.]

The landscape really caught us off guard here, was not expecting it to be so vivid and contrasting! Us too, mix the cliffs in with clear blue or green waters and it’s just magic 🙌🏼 We are looking forward to it & and still on track to catch you in Broome! 😁😎

[@sailingislandpearl]

You guys have real talent and all of your videos are simply amazing, particularly with the cut-in from dramatically beautiful drone views to the close-up excellent commentary videos. Your passion for this trip shines through and makes the rest of Australia want to get out and experience the great outdoors too. Well done! We particularly love the way you are sharing so much of the truly amazing beauty of this great country, and the day-to-day reality of life on the road towing a caravan in a nice balanced way. Anyone planning a trip around Australia (like us) would certainly learn a lot from watching your videos and, as fellow Kedron van owners, we actually feel Kedron should now start sponsoring you guys with at least free spares and support, it is not a new van some day. Keep it up guys as you have started something very special which will no doubt also bring hundreds of new overseas visitors to Australia and particularly to the remote regions which will benefit greatly from more tourism.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thank you for leaving such a kind message & we appreciate your viewership! (Also love your boat, we have been SV Delos subscribers for many years) We love our little Keddie & sure you guys do too. Safe travels & hopefully catch you on the road someday 😁🙏🏼

[@sailingislandpearl]

@@our.australia.trip. Great to hear you guys have followed SV Delos too since your videos in the "RV space" seem to outclass all the others just as Delos and La Vagabond have done in the sailing video segment. Since we had the same boats, and followed Delos too, we anchored up with Brian, Karin, Brady, and Blue in the Caribbean a couple of times when both our Amel yachts happened to be visiting the same islands. They really are nice folk and highly talented too, but work extremely hard on their videos sacrificing so much of their free sightseeing time to make such beautiful videos. As you are aware editing videos takes so much time and hence we only made a few videos in the Indian Ocean whilst we had taken crew on board. After that, it was just Lauren and me on board all the way around the world, and, with just two of us sailing the boat, video editing had to take a back seat or we would never have managed to take in all the sights and enjoy the circumnavigation as much as we did. Safe travels :)

[@thosebikepackers]

We only saw Monkey Mia but will definitely need a 4x4 to get up there next time. Great stuff guys. Thanks for sharing!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Absolutely guys, Monkey Mia was just scratching the surface of what’s up there! A hidden gem for sure! 🙌🏼

[@aquadmc7295]

As a new follower, I loved this episode, your photography/ drone footage is awesome. I'll now have to catch up with all of your past episides. Well done guys 😊

[@our.australia.trip.]

That’s so nice of you to say! We super glad you found us then 🥰 Our videos have definitely been a work in progress & think this is one of our best & favourites yet!

[@user-tu3jy3om1l]

Another Great episode Thanks

[@our.australia.trip.]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@jacquelinewrigley9027]

Great episode guys. Beautiful scenery and wildlife 💕

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for tuning in 🥰 Just amazing that neck of the woods 🤩🤩

[@RascalandClog]

Sounds like you had heat stroke. Don't forget to drink plenty of water. It happened to me once I had convolutions, though.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Yes absolutely was, a half hour in the car AC brought her back to normal!

[@rodneyclark209]

Another good one

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers Rod, Thanks for tuning in again mate 😁🍻

[@daviddreves5924]

Great videos if Brad if you have a chance put some locktite on that screw

[@our.australia.trip.]

Roger that Dave! good tip 🙌

[@leahsharpe7309]

Great episode! Again.👍👍👍👍 The drone footage is amazing. What sort of drone do you guys use?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thank you Leah 🥰 We use the mini 3 pro, nothing fancy but does the job !!

[@keithoztournut7042]

Another great video the information about booking was very interesting, you two are great together but please no more hot bore water dips, very scary, look after your self you are a long way from medical help 😱. Happy Travels 🤗🤗

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hey Keith! Thanks for tuning in again mate 🙏 Haha we will be very careful, that one was extremely hot & the heatstroke took us by surprise seeing as it was a cool day. Cheers & same to you 😀🏕️

[@markgoesskywalking7409]

Another great video guys. Making me want to visit Australia! What is the track at the start of the video by the way? really like it.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hey mate & thanks for tuning in 😁 The music is death bed - dreem. A really great artist & I've used a lot of their music in our vids 🙌

[@markgoesskywalking7409]

@@our.australia.trip. thanks so much for replying! 😊 Really love your videos. First one I watched was Esperance and currently going through all of your other videos. Really loving your channel. Your videos are so slick - really well put together! 😊

[@Steve-qs1tw]

Nice upload. How was the sand driving in Peron National Park? I don't have alot of experience with driving on sand, but is it just a matter of dropping the psi and driving to the conditions?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Shark bay would have to be one of the softest places we have been 4wding. I think we went down to 16psi which is pretty bagged out on our 33 inch tyres the day we went out & still almost got stuck a few times. Momentum and keeping in your rpm range is the key, but it can be all over when you get behind a backpacker who wont let their tyres down or someone who hasn't gone down low enough.

[@user-ri3ui6wd6l]

Hiii, what was that app you were using to check if the caravan was level? So handy!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Caravan Level remote, it’s pretty handy! 😊👍🏼

[@user-ri3ui6wd6l]

@@our.australia.trip. bummer only for iPhone!..thanks for the reply 😊

[@vickijohns1350]

Great Drone footage as usual. How do you set up for those long land shots?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks Vicki & Charles! Not sure which shot you mean could you give me a timestamp? 😊🙏

[@vickijohns1350]

18.06

[@vickijohns1350]

18.04 to 18.05 a shot of the Landcruiser from the top of a hill

[@our.australia.trip.]

I see! Haha the old fashioned way, a 500m walk (run) on foot and with a 2 way had patsy drive circles around the car park to get the shot 😂😂

[@louisebennett666]

Hi guys, what time of year were you at Shark bay ?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hi Louise, we were there in June 😊

[@garyw4076]

What make of drone do you use?
