    In this episode we arrive in Perth to explore Fremantle and Rottnest Island, before heading a few hours north to Sandy Cape Recreation Park and Jurien Bay.
    The episode starts with us getting caught out with the long weekend in Perth and struggling to find somewhere to stay. The need to make bookings in WA is no joke!
    We finally make it into Fremantle and enjoy many of its iconic attractions including the Gage Roads and Little Creatures Breweries, Fremantle Prison and snorkelling the Omeo Wreck. The main event for us though is Rottnest Island, which we were hoping to visit by taking our inflatable boat across.
    Eventually we left the big smoke and headed to Sandy Cape Recreation Park to enjoy some offgrid camping once again. We seemed to find ourselves in another failed boat mission while exploring the waters of Jurien Bay but still had a beautiful few days here nonetheless.
    We hope you enjoyed watching this episode and thanks so much for the support and kindness on our videos! We're on the trip of a lifetime as we travel Australia full-time so subscribe now to see the whole adventure.

    Definitely not a fail in getting in a rubber dinghy to Rottnest . We live here in Perth and always had 20/21ft boats which we took to Rotto and the afternoon return was often a hairy run . Rotto was always our April school holidays destination for a week in a Longreach or Geordie Bays villa. Quokka don’t live on the mainland except a small colony in the south west . You need to get yourself a cray loop and a bag for the crays …….makes catching so much easier .

    Still making our way through your videos and loving them! That little island where you took ‘big red’ is actually where they take you to swim with the seals. We had one of the best experiences of our trip right there!

    Fantastic footage you guys, actually I followed the same route in 2018 escaping the NZ winter . It is wonderful to see it all again including a few spots that I missed. Keep up the great videos and marvellous narration.

    Brilliant video as always guys! A mate and i took my 4m tinny across to Rotto once...never again 😂 definitely needed a bigger, more stable boat

    • @our.australia.trip.
      @our.australia.trip.  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yep when the wind gets up it’s pretty ordinary, I would only attempt it on a complete glass off day. Anyhow, the bikes I reckon were a better way to see the island 🙌🏼

    @wolftiedemann-jh8wg 6 месяцев назад +3

    Quokkas are more like a nocturnal animal, that's why they look sleepy on Rotto during the day (bloody tourists keep them awake). On the mainland you hardly see them except at dawn and dusk. Saw some crays, either too small or too fast and escaped?

    • @our.australia.trip.
      @our.australia.trip.  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah haha one was too fast and the other 3 went too deep in the cave once i set the gopro up 🤣

    All so maybe it’s a wa thing hahaha I find 10 psi pretty good for most beaches I’ve driven on have gone lower . Great little boat 🚤 wish you could of thrown in a line .

    Enjoy Kalbarri. 3 night stay to see it properly. 4wd track just north of town to follow the river and kick back a day. Cliffs on the beach, cliffs inland. Also when you hit Exmouth and Ningaloo, check out the ranges , only 20 ks south and 10ks inland of town. Stop at every car spot for photos .

    Thank God you took the ferry. I don't think the Rotto crossing in the inflatable would have been a good idea.

    • @our.australia.trip.
      @our.australia.trip.  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yep, if we misjudged the conditions it would've been bad. The 4m inflatable is really quite impressive how well it handles the chop though, i would say better than a tinny of the same size.

  • @Kb3164-t3z
    @Kb3164-t3z 6 месяцев назад

    We alway park the vehicle facing down hill in WA. Usually toward the water. Makes it much easier to take off. Just a suggestion.

    Pros and cons for the truekit boat? Looking at getting one but not too sure just yet

    • @our.australia.trip.
      @our.australia.trip.  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! Its perfect for diving and very stable and capable on the water. Cons would be using it in croc country and fishing hooks could ruin your day if your into catching big fish.

    Can we ask what googles you use to snorkel or is there a tip to keep screen clear? Or maybe it's the camera pics that are fooling into thinking we are seeing what you are seeing...lol

      Baby shampoo is the secret rub it and rinse the mask before you dive and youll never have fog again! ruclips.net/video/97UdVQiWmfI/видео.htmlsi=HWnB_uHQPJvwDGx9&t=459

    Hi guys, do you wash down your boat before packing it away? If so, I assume you also dry it off? I'm just looking for real life experiencies before we take ours out! 😂 Thanks

    • @our.australia.trip.
      @our.australia.trip.  6 месяцев назад

      Ideally yes, but fresh water is scarce here and sand is plenty so be prepared for some salty and messy pack ups !!
