Black Point - Yorke Peninsula / South Australia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Black Point is approximately 158km from our home in Adelaide making it an easy two hour drive with the caravan in tow. The Caravan Park is only a small Park with 13 sites in total. As we can only travel on specific days unless we are on holidays, due to the small size of the Park, this is our third attempt at making a booking. As it is right on the water, is is a very popular place to visit.
While here we visit some of the lower parts of Yorke Peninsula, checking out the towns and their Water Tower Art.

Again a nice video thanks for letting us enjoy this beautiful country greetings from Holland
Glad you enjoyed it, greetings to you from the land down under.
Great video. Keep them coming . Wasn't too long was great . Thank you.
Thanks, will do!
Back in ‘69 my family and I spent a couple of weeks at Black Point in a shack up the eastern end as guests of Dean Stringer (ex Red Legs player and footy commentator). Dean had a clinker built boat with a 7.5 horse outboard and we (Dean, my dad, my brother and I) went out on the boat every day. The bay was invariably as smooth as a mill pond and the fishing and swimming was outstanding. We trolled for snook, hooked squid, mullet and whiting and caught blue swimmers. Great days for a 15 year old kid.
Sounds good Gary. I can recall the first time I saw the bay, it was a hot summers day and the water was so blue and like glass. It can be a very pretty location.
Really highlighted how great the upper Yorkes is. Well done guys.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
Its a top spot for sure! 👍 So many lovely locations on Yorke Peninsula.
Sure is, too many to mention.
Another beautiful video.thanks 🙏
Thank you too
Great videos Mick....brings back good memories....cheers
Thanks sue
Rippa Mate. Busy as you be with them northern trips, you still find beaut interesting locations for us viewers to enjoy....This was so informative and tempting us to follow your tyre tracks.
In the next week, me & my lady are going to become a mobile roadblock as we head north ourselves for a couple of months, so CB turned on so as to chat with yourself or another ABC colleague.
Hope your not in trouble with the Yorke's councils in damaging the red cliff face...LOL Once again, my lady & I do praise your efforts in entertaining us...Cheers cobber.
Thank you Dennis, lovely comments. I will be listening out for you when traveling north. Have a great trip as the weather is getting very nice up that way now.
Wow , that sunrise is spectacular
It certainly was Maggie. Not too sure if you have picked up from other videos of ours, but I love any sunrise or sunsets that I can capture on film.
Great video guys and girls, I’m already googling Black Point accomodation ❤
Black Point is a terrific spot to camp at let alone just for a day visit.
Having a time to relax and literally do nothing is something I have not been able to do in a long time and the idea of this I have to say is really appealing and looking at the areas the views the lovely campsites that you visit really makes me want to do that for us , thank you it’s lovely .👍❤️🐾
Thank you Sassy, sometimes just sitting at a location and taking it all in is so much better than being on the move all of the time.
Excellent camera work and narration.
Thanks Brian, glad you liked it.
Great video Mick & Sally. SA has some real undiscovered "gems" (to us outsiders that is ). Speaking of the water tower art, recently in Victoria in one town they have used fluoresent paint which shows up at night time when lights shine on it. That row of silos I saw in your video would look fantastic at night time painted!! Take care and safe travels!!
Thanks Greg, yest Port Giles silos would look great with a bit of paint on so many cells there. One day we will do a near on complete silo art trail tri through all states.
Really beautyfull country.
Hope I can visit your country one day mick..thanks for the great video..
Yes it is Zahir, so many different places to look at, glad you liked it.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 no doubt mick..Ausi is A huge country..lots beauty place with a good viewing.one of kind hot country too like malaysia..( I think South area Ausi more like malaysia(hot)..and the most I do love about ur country ofcouse the OUTBACK TRUCKERS..Really really great job you know..like what re you doing now..(coz im A truck driver too.).Solute from me for Alllllllllllll Australian truck drivers..take care mick.

Sure is.
Good Morning Mike and Sally Wow Point Julia have not been there since the mid 1970s. I used to go on holidays with friends who had and still have a shack at Julia . A great part of the world . You are credit to your state with your videos . Safe Travels from Daryle and Claire
Thank you Daryle, S.A. is very lucky with what it has to offer it's residents as well as visitors to the State.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Thanks for the video
Cheers, hope you liked it.
Hi Mick and Sally , love your videos. Very informative and inspirational. Looking forward to watching more thanks best wishes .
Thank you very much, glad you are enjoying them.
Excellent video, very informative. Planning to spend some time in the area next summer so very helpful. If I ever see you on the road I will buy you a beer or two.
Thank you Jo, cheers.🍻🍻
Another interesting video. You have reminded me why we need to go back! Saw a few things like the swimming pool at Edinburgh, I knew nothing about. Lots of hidden gems for sure. Thanks
The tidal pool at Edithburg reminds me of all the tourist infinity pools around the country.
We were parked in same site at Black Point as you were , paid few dollars extra for front row but it was worth it to have a room with a view.
Yes Bob, if you are going to be near the beach why not get as close as possible and enjoy the great view.
Thanks for another great video Mick!
We are now making our way down the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula!!
Thanks Mick, you will have lots to see on the west coast, enjoy your trip.
Mick the joy of only one trailer,abet it’s more liable to kick a bit. Would love to be able to get good and get over there into SA again.
Cheers John, thanks.
Great video I was surprised when you videoed our bench seats in Ardrossan
Thankyou now subscribed
Cheers
Dave
Not too sure which seats you are referring to but if they were in the video, they must have made part of the story I was trying to share. Thanks for the sub!
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 they were the Military ones we made them for the RSL sub Branch in Ardrossan
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 about 8 mins in the video
@@PlasmaArtAdelaide Yes I know the ones, very nice and in a prominent position.
@@PlasmaArtAdelaide 👍
Merci Mick pour cette balade enrichissante. J'irai consulter vos liens pour en apprendre plus sur l'Australie qui m'intrigue tant. A bientôt.
You are welcome, I hope you like what you find in the links. Take care.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 👍. Prenez soin de vous aussi.
Bonjour Mike. Quel drone avez-vous? Que me conseilleriez-vous, j'aimerai en acheter un? Dans l'attente de vous lire, JPhB.
Hi JPhB, we have a dji Air S2. Any dji is the way to go as they have so many features that we like. In saying that, dji Drones are one of the dearest to purchase.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Merci beaucoup Mick, je consulterai les produits de cette marque. En attendant, prenez soin de vous et à bientôt. Jean Philippe from France.
Port Arthur is a popular crabbing spot when the tide is out and the months with. ''R'' in it
That doesn't surprise me with the crabs but I thought there might have been too much mud to have a good time catching them.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Not keen on crab meat , I live at Lochiel many years ago, some of the locals went there at low tide for the crabs.
@@bobpridham3783 fair enough.
Hi Mick & Sally, thank you for all your great videos can’t wait until we head over to SA so we can check out your beautiful state..
I noticed you have a stone guard on your van now and no rock tamers which do you prefer as we are think along the lines of a stone guard…
Thanks irene &Vince
It wasn't until we fitted the rock tamers that we noticed stones sitting on the caravan gas bottles and the front tool box across the caravan each time we pulled up, said a lot for the rock tamers. That is why we now have the stone guard and we no longer find the stones when stopped. Each to their own but we would never go back to rock tamers.
Thank you Mick I think we are heading towards a guard , keep up all your great videos I hope the drone is all mended…Vince & Irene
@@irenehageman715 The drone is back with us after a relatively cheap repair at $303:00
Thanks for the video. Such a great and very informative travelogue. A real shame about the drone and am curious who drew the short straw to do the cliff descent. Safe travels.
Glad you liked the video. The drone was all my fault, completely stuffed it up in every way possible. First major crash with any drone I have owned so it was a lucky let off with only a $303 repair bill. Picked it up 2 days ago😃
Another enjoyable tag along. Enjoyed this whilst laying in this morning at Nuri C Pk. Black day at Black point for your bird. Perhaps RTH set too low. Looking forward to next production with extra drone footage.
Thanks Max, the drone was under my full control when I crashed it. Perhaps I didn't have full control of my mind at the time, call it a senior's moment. We now have the drone back after the repair so will have it flying soon after our Easter video go up.
Hi Mick I dont rely on RTH because of elevation so i use GPS map and follow my track back home always maintaining visual contact. They’re too expensive to crash. We live and learn, love the vids. Bravo from Victoria Australia
I would normally do as you do but on this day I seemed to have lost the plot with the elevated launch position in relation the the water, call it a senior's moment as I have no other excuse. 😢😢
Another great video. Love the sound of the waves so thanks for sharing that. First thing I saw when your post turned up today was the little note about your drone, well at least its fixable. The drone footage certainly enhances what you can see. The watertower art is wonderful. Up here we have the silo art trail.
Glad you enjoyed it, will will eventually try to do a complete silo art trail, would be so lovely to see most of them. The drone finished up being a cheap $303.00 fix so I was lucky with that.
Thank goodness it didnt fall into the sea 😱
@@cherylrayes8015 that was my first thought as to where it went.
Hello Mick and Sally, Love your laid back approach sir, I found you on youtube with your truck videos. Are you producing more of these, they are great videos very informative and allow us to see parts of Australia you don't normally see. I have a question for you, what size wheels are on your caravan, The van sites nice and low to the ground, which is quite refreshing, it must be a breeze to tow with your vehicle. Stay safe both of you, and please keep the videos coming. Robert
Thank you Robert, glad you like the videos. I will do another truck video only when a story presents itself. My current run to Darwin is the same each week with most of it being done in the night hours so to make another one just for the sake of it, the video would only repeat what has already been shown. Our caravan has 15 inch L/T tyres fitted from the factory.
Thank you sir, for taking the time comment. By the way, who wouldn't love sitting in the front seat on a night trip to darwin. Ready when you are Mick. Sincerely Robert
@@robertdahl8779 Cheers Robert.
Great video Mick, recently found your videos on you tube but living in the UK I can't get my head around how few people and vehicles are around. Do you only shoot in winter time?
We are not as heavily populated like the UK so I would assume that we would naturally have fewer vehicles on our roads. We try to get away every second weekend at the moment which allows us to shoot all year round.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Thanks Mick, I hope to see many more of your videos, good luck.
@@petercollumbell4978 Cheers Peter, take care.
Nice trip Mick & Sally, well done! looks like we have more to see on the York Pen. We’re interested in that BBQ, can you tell us about it? Thank you
We have had our bbq for over 20 years now, that long that I can't remember when we bought it. I don't think they are even available anymore to buy. It is so quick and easy to use with the pole going directly onto the gas bottle.
Hi Mick and Sally, thanks for your great video's, love the semi ones too. I've got a question, I'm getting a new caravan and I was thinking of getting the Black Jack jockey wheel, it looks like you have one on your van, would you recommend it, is it good? and do you have the wheel or plate on the bottom of it?
The Black Jack is one of the best purchases that we have made. The jack does everything they say it should do. We use the plate on the bottom of ours. To help prevent caravan theft, we have fitted a 12 volt supply idolator switch inside of the lockable toolbox on the front of our caravan. This allow the power to be cut to the jack when not using the caravan.
Ok thanks for the info, I will definitely get one on our new van. Thanks again.
@@jameswaltrovitz cheers
What happened to your previous tow vehicle, did you trade it in for your current tow vehicle 😮
Yes, there will be a video on why we changed vehicles. The video will also include a walk around of our Landcruiser👌
Another real nice video Mick. Earlier I started to comment on how good the use of your drone is to give a excellent overview. I take it your drone didn't end up in the salt water? One day we will get back to SA to explore more. Cheers from NZ.
Thanks Chris, no the drone hit the cliff and then fell to the sans between the cliff and the water. One of the features of the DJI drones is how easy it is to find them when something like this happens.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Hi Mick. I have a basic dji drone, Phantom 3, that potentially did a similar thing. I was operating near Cliffs in a reasonable breeze when for some reason it lost the GPS signal and was blown towards the cliff. Fortunately I managed to manually fly it away and some seconds later it reconnected to the GPS. Most strange.🤔
@@chriskiwi2601 a lucky recovery for you. The DJI drones have got to be one of the best when it comes to flying them.
❤😮
Thanks 👍
Bad luck about your drone.. oh well your pilot licence is now RS...LOL
Thanks mate 😂😂
Hi Mick, hubby would like to know what brand your mozzie zapper is and is it any good.
Can you tell me what part of the video this was shown or mentioned please, it escapes me at the moment?
Was it the coil ones that were burning, we use those a bit?
Did you buy another drone 😢
No, I have crashed my existing drone twice now with a bog gum tree being the second crash.
I'm really surprised that you can crash a drone at speed and think that it's repairable 😮
I think I was lucky on the day although it did crash into a dirt wall flat out😒 Next time I will not be so lucky.👍
