This is Episode 14 of the series and we will be exploring the stretch between Karratha & Port Hedland in WA.
These 2 towns are known as the Powerhouse of the Pilbara because of the mining industry and shipping ports located here, but because of their location they also have some amazing landscapes and scenery to discover and what better way to do it than in your van!!

I grew up in the Pilbara (Tom Price) from 1968 to 1985. Mum used to pack up the esky, Dad would come off his last day shift and we were off to Hamersley Gorge. We would jump out of the car, run down for a swim, jump off the rocks and slide down the waterfalls then run back up the top for dinner. We would sleep all the way home... fantastic! As kids we were so fortunate with the many, many incredible experiences we had camping at all the gorges, Millstream, Wittenoom etc.
I absolutely love your channel!!! I look forward to your next episode :-)
Vena Loudon this sounds like the best thing ever as a kid!!!! We love Hammersley gorge, our favourite in Karijini 🤘
Love your trip, we travelled around in an old toyota hiace with our son Spencer when he was two years old, 2001 getting him back for school at Avalon beach aged five, to see you doing the same trip with three kids is awsome. love your missus saying , ( i didn't know that.) is classic, My wife retires this year and we are planning another trip in our small delica 4x4 heading from Sydney ( Avalon Beach ) to Mount Isa , Darwin and then West the way you are going, thanks for your amazing videos and your beautiful family, never know we may cross paths some day. Bob and Barbara.🤠🚐
I left western Australia 20yrs ago to return to the UK . Your travels make me think ? Why would I do that !!!!!!!! Sitting writing this listening to the wind and rain battering the house !!!
Ian Alexander I dunno how you do it mate!! Love the weather over here💪
Re Mattress Options.Check Gumtree or Facebook marketplace for a secondhand Tempur mattress. You can cut them to size easily with a large serrated knife. Best thing I’ve ever done. Picked up a queen for $300.
Thanks so much guys , I’m sick in my Donga at work around 40 kms north west of Tom Price . You’ve cheered me up 😀 Loving Jacks commentary, good work mate 👍
So lovely to see. Especially cos this is where I live.. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Great to see young Jack doing some filming and cometary, when we stayed at Port Hedland we had metal tie downs under the caravan in one of the parks so in a cyclone they tie the van down to stop it blowing away. Looking forward to the next one, very very special place in Australia. Thanks guys.
TheRaimo they had those tie downs in the slab sites at Karratha! Crazy!!!
Fantastic videos guys! We love them. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Samuel del Pino Martin thanks bud, cheers for your support hey🤙
Hope you family of legends take the 89km trip from Tom Price to Paraburdoo, great place with heaps of waterholes, howies hole , Kelly’s pool. And then radio hill is another good highlight
Thanks for visiting the Pilbara and especially Port Hedland where i live. There is so many fantastic thing to see here.

Your videos are such a great resource and at the same time very entertaining. Nice to have Bec and the kids. Most 4WD and fishing shows are very blokey. Just watching this one for ideas on any spots between Pt Headland and Exmouth on the main Hwy. Definitely will give Cleaverville Beach a miss. Thanks for the heads up.
Michelle Preston cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it

Awesome loved it live in Ktown so good to see people loving the Pilbara hope Karajini is good for you rain has been a bit shit the last couple of years
Troy Scolari thanks mate! Karijini was awesome! Just putting the vid together now👍
They're called moring lines, have seen one snap up close 15metres away, and you're correct the two diff colours on the side of the ship when fully loaded you'll only see 1 something that big will probably be around 13 metres under water
Baby oil is great of drowning sandflies mate. It's really good for your skin too, unlike chemical sprays. We used to mix Dettol and baby oil (4:1 oil/dettol) for sandflies and mosquitoes when we lived at McLeay island. Bloody sandflies were killer there!
Darth KegRaider thanks mate, I’ll do that hey.
My niece loads those ships in Port H. Great to see Hedland again, we should be there next year.
809klglklgl what a sweet job!!!💪
Fantastic....the kids are just great and becoming part of the show too....safe travels.
Rob Pinter thanks mate👍
Midgies... yah... can be painful... The factory matress in my vans been brilliant.....inner spring thing im sure youd get at 65 naps ( you know the store i was referring too ).. mine is an odd shape to fit the double bed, however, its a known brand.
We loved seeing the kids at the start and end.
Thanks for sharing your family 💕💕💕
Amanda Wall oh thankyou

Vern P cheers mate!!!!! Glad you enjoyed it🤘
Hi guys,
I just wanted to tell you how awesome your content is.
I’ve been producing my own 4x4 RUclips channel for a few months now and I know how much work goes in behind the scenes.
Your content is bloody brilliant and I love watching it.
Keep up the great work and safe travels.
Mywayoffthehwy cheers man! Glad your enjoying it🤙
Awesome shows guys I really like watching them
Stephen Dimech great to hear mate!! Thanks for the support💪
Really enjoyed this episode... looks like you guys are having a ball!
RVTV by RV Warehouse loving it mate, cheers🤘
I didnt see a jetty at Port Sampson. There used to be a fish and chip shop at the start of the jetty. Went out some way and you could catch almost anything off it. There was a big hammer head sharp called whiskers due to all the trace wires hanging out his mouth LOL. I should mention this was in the late 70's early 80's.
Cool video mate, Thanks for sharing 👍
George Abdulnour thanks so much man!!!!
Goose Bumps guys, right on!
Happy Fathers Day Justin. 😀👍
Brad thanks mate
Hey guys.
These videos of the Pilbara are great. I miss that area. So unique.
If you get a chance, head to a place called Running waters (21º 41' 3.99" S 121º 07' 24.95" E) it’s out from marble bar. Beautiful spot.
Also, I’m sure it’s changed but the iron clad hotel in MB makes the best steak burger in the norwest. When I went there, a real long time ago - the bar was so well used that you could carve your name into it using your finger nail. They didn’t care either
Have a good trip.
As usual just bloody fantastic episode and wakey wake Bec lol
Paul Berry 😂😂cheers mate
Great video guys. The kids in the background doing some native dance.
Joanne Wilson crazy ferals
These videos make me so happy.
Cliff and Howie awesome!!!
Looks beautiful outside I also did a road trip which I did a Vlog, but weather looks fabulous, it is worth escaping Perth for the Pilbara during winter or any time of the year for a holiday, also apparently quite liveable
Hey, Really enjoyed the content so far.. you guys have inspired myself and the family ( including our beagle) to head over from Victoria for 3 months from October and travel up to Exmouth. Keep the content coming and we might see you on the road. :-)
Tezza great to hear mate!!!! It’s an epic RoadTrip!! We just might catch ya somewhere on the road mate 🤘
You’re kids will never forget this life experience. Good onya, good stuff.
Ronald White cheers mate! They’ll have loads to look back on✌️
Thanks guys loved this vid all info subbed
Anthony Webb cheers for the sun mate!! Glad you enjoyed it🤙
The pilbara of western Australia has best views like knox lookout in karijini lookimg where three gorges meet i lived in port hedland about 4 yrs back from 2009 to 2012 and it also has worlds largest export port in the world famous for exporting our iron ore to japan and China
Guys i want you to know we love your channel and content. Justin your growing in confidence and the humor makes it all the better. Bec your smashing it being your super cool natural self.
We have just sold our house and are planning this same trip over the next 6 months. If u only knew how much inspiration we have drawn from your journey.......
Jason Ashcroft oh mate this is awesome!! So great to hear that you and others can not only enjoy the vids but get pumped to do it yourselves👌💪 Catch you guys on the road soon hey ✌️

Nice video guys i spent the first half of my life in point Samson ,wickham and cossack and my humble opinion point samson and cossack are the only towns in the pilbara that have not been ruined by mining,also love millstream and python pool.
dhiquobgnaloo great places to explore💪
Living the Aussie dream guys. Your family is blessed. 😍
Kate Slater cheers mate🤘
Love this video guys it makes us want to go back west
Ben Green west is best hey🤙
Mate love ya work, we just had a mattress made at Mr Mattress in Rockingham (Perth) it's a quest size with angles on the foot entrance and 210mm thick. Then spent the next month on a trip from Perth /Flinders/Oodnadatta/Alice/Uluru and its was cold as, it was the best investment we have done since getting the camper. Cost $750
Brill Vid!! Happy father’s day!
Marie Congdon cheers💪
Awesome guys good traveling.
Dreams..for love thanks mate🤘
Mate, you need to have a look at the Drifta canvas gear - something for every thing
Mate. Again love your show. Mattress, get the eggshell mattress topper, cheap as. One made the difference fos us other people got 2. Just a suggestion. Cheers big ears 👍👍👍
michael seal thanks bro🤘
big smile on me dial , cheers guys.
Jem Ty thanks bud🤙
Midgees got us last night at Settlers beach. Lovely spot tho. We have put an eggshell on the mattress, then a padded overlay, comfy
Noela Mulcahy bloody midgees
I got attack by midges big time a couple of weeks ago camping at Maitland River (near Karratha). Our phamarists recommend SOOV (Haemorrhoids ointment) for the itch and non drowsy Anti-histamine for the relief of itchy skin. Trust me it work wonders.
Thanks for the great camping spots around Karratha. We did go to Cleaverville last weekend for a picnic, lucky we did not get attack by midges.
Gotta say your music is always on point.
Luke Dennehy cheers mate👍
Traveling Aus with you guys from my office chair love it :-) looking forward to the next Ep. try a layer of eggshell foam with a pillow top mattress protector :-)
Folllow the Leader cheers mate✌️
I’ll definitely second that eggshell foam, really comfortable addition for an average mattress.
another great video, well done... take it easy hay
Kath Rutledge cheers man 🤙🤙
Funny watching you guys yew... my daughter Loz always yews yourve probably met her on your travels
Debbie Williams 😂😂😂
well done guys loved it again yeww
Chris Rippon cheers man, love ya support🤘
Hiya Guys,
Bloody awesome set up and gr8t vids Guys keep up the gr8t vids :-)
Malte Weinreich cheers mate✌️
Bec & Justin. Love these bids. So look forward to them.
Re the stones, check out Stone Stomper (no interest, just a happy customer) & very good to deal with
Rod Hobart cheers mate, we had rock tamers for a while but haven’t tried stone stompers!! Glad you love the vids. Cheers👌
Another great vid, cheers... Eco Marine matreess are worth every penny the main seliing points are; They are lite weight and have amazing air flow for moisture prevention and cooler nights. They are expensive but they are seriously that comfy you will likely take it from the van to the house. I belive they are a big deal in Europe. mine cost $2800
Byron Willoughby cheers for the tip🤘
Another great video. Can't believe how many people are travelling around in vans. Looks like the caravan parks have got a bit greedy and free camping is the go.
soundzRinmygarden free camping is the go👍👍👍
We got an adjustamattress. It vibrates and head and foot part goes up and down best money we ever spent.
Great camera work Jacko on dads van leveling. 🖒
Wayne Spencer Jacko says thanks man✌️
Looking forward to seeing your Karijini adventures! As a local the only thing that annoys me about people free camping is the amount of rubbish and toilet paper you see in the Bush 😞
Too right. I use water instead of toilet paper. It's not only cleaner for your nether regions, but it's cleaner for the environment too.
A really fantastic series and great for a family. Good Vib, Good destinations, fishing, camping, siteseeing. cruisy excellent... where is the continue on as long as button....
Peter Austin thanks mate 🤘
You guys are fantastic.
Ryan Payne thanks heaps mate🤙
THANK YOU FOR SHARE OTHER DETAIL BEAUTY VIDEO OF FAMILY TRAVELING AROUND BEAUTY AUSTRALIA AND BEAUTY PLACE
had to watch the fire through the window haha happy days mate
John Plunkett dam sandflies😬
The funny part is when you said old mates alseep! I feel ya mate the wifes the same on a road trip she's pretty excited about a nap instead of some driving haha. anyways your videos are good mate love the authentic vids rather then the bs, keep em coming :)
The railway service road was the route to Mill Stream back in the day. I cannot believe how much the area has changed since I was up there.
i remember camping on the river as a kid, probably not aloud to do that anymore.
Yea, same. I am surprised they didn’t show more. Missed a bit. Did see the ore coming in on the rail line to Dampier plant or the lookout built for the Queen built back 70’s.
There’s a lot more to Karratha and the Point Sampson area. Seems to pass straight through. My next trip I will spend a week around there. Wonder they will stop at Whim Creek
Fantastic, happy father's day
Sober Sunsets thanks mate, having a ripper
can you show us some close ups of your suspension ?? dead set loving the whole adventure you are on,i check the tube every day to see what you have put on, absolute quality.You have a beautiful family (and a hot mrs)
Thanks for another enjoyable vid Jus n Bec. Jacko' s presenting skills are coming along too 😀. How's the BT50 going Justin - no issues? Have you beefed up the suspension as well as adding the airbags?
Mark Gardiner cheers mate, yep we have an upgraded gvm/gcm from Lovell’s. BT is killing it 💪
Those slow cooked meals are mint
The red colour represents the waterline on the ship. The red part is antifoul so that marine growth does not start making the ship maintain it's smooth flow through the water. One of those ships can carry upwards of 150,000 tonnes of Iron Ore.
Chris Dunn awesome
Rippa vid guys! Justin aka TKF - Tropical Knowledge Fish😁
So jealous...My V8 Crusier and Ultimate Xplor are sitting at home while I'm working my Butt off in Karratha. My turn will come. Keep up the Vid's awesome stuff!!
Paul Busby you’ll get there man!! Gotta make the coin first👊👊
Hey mate if you get an egg short popping through that mattress might save you about 1800 bucks and they're good and they're cool or in the summer the other thing ID like to say can you show us a bit more of the town when you go to these places like where you stay and every guy that's fantastic would like to see a little bit more of the town
I love the vlogs, 👍🏼
Daniel Knox cheers man🤘🤘
Awesome....
madbikeboysins thanks mate
You guys sure are having a mad trip. 👍
Aus Adventure the best
Buy a couple of queen size 3inch foam mattresses as a pillow top and you will never leave.. I use them in my camper trailer.
Good Tip... and extra couple of inches of foam will make a big difference
Bloody Bonzer mate one more epic trip with you guys & i love this cheers for Australia the only country on this planet have this luxury :)
