    Roko Island has been my house for five months... It's an unforgettable memory between nature, friendship and hard work... My captain Jason will be forever in my heart

      Haha Shaun, that’s what we like to hear! Chris loves getting that high drone perspective of places we travel to. Our aim is to inspire others to travel so if it made you feel that way, what we’re doing is working! 😜🌴☀️ thanks for tuning in mate 🤙🏻

    Loved this one a lot esp with the Gyptian song all you needed was a coconut and some lime.
    Hope the Patrol is parked at Harrop

    • @BigOzExplorers
      @BigOzExplorers  3 года назад +1

      Agree, that coconut and lime would have finished off a fishing trip, maybe a dash if white rum too 🤔 Harrop were booked out that week unfortunately 😉

    I've watched a good sized crocodile swim a straight line from Punsand Bay to Roko. Sometimes in the far north it can quickly become dangerous. Don't be fooled by visions of a romantic getaway. Stay alert all the time.

    Another ripper adventure guys. Funny, we were just watching 'Trip in a Van's' latest video, and Jason was standing under the Bramwell Station road sign, and we noticed your 'Big Oz Explorer' sticker on the sign, LoL.

    • @BigOzExplorers
      @BigOzExplorers  3 года назад +1

      Your going to have the best time when you get it, bet your so excited! Travelling with your family while your young will be the best choice you’ll ever make. I was still a little unsure in the beginning (Sian) but now I wouldn’t look back, can’t imagine even having a house! Hopefully we’ll catch you on the road somewhere in this big backyard we have 👌🏻 Cheers mate!

    Must be something in the water at Roko Island. I've never seen you guys kiss and cuddle each other so much. You should bottle and sell that water and you'll be able to buy your own island. Great videos as always.

    Gunna visit Roko next time we’re in the Cape,
    while your in Darwin make it point to go to Crocodilius Park, Litchfield Park, The old Fanny Bay Jail, And Kakadu, Yellow Waters, visit Cahills Crossing, mind you its not a good time of year, some places may be closed. And you’ll need your AC 🥵😂😂

      @BigOzExplorers  3 года назад

      Definitely Dennis, it’s a fantastic stop and well worth the effort to get over there 👌🏻
      We did NT in 2018 and saw most of what you mentioned, haven’t heard of the Fanny Bay Jail or Yellow Waters though! Have added them to the list. We’re staying in powered sites while we’re up this way, AC is important for the kids in the heat that’s for sure. Thanks mate! 🙏🏻
