- We take on some of the Tanami Road to get to Wolfe Creek Crater. We free camp and complete crafts, haircuts and cooking off grid. Wolfe Creek Crater was special. We're really glad we visited this place. Plus, we were lucky not to cross paths with Mick from Wolf Creek the movie! ;)

The wife and I really enjoy your episodes and can't wait to travel more. It must be hard for you though, being on the road for so long. I bet you wish sometimes that you could just pack it in and take a break for a few months (or a year) because delivering continuous content to us is relentless for you. Just so you know, we do appreciate what you do for us who yearn to travel.
Great episode Family👌 Hey Jayda, you are a wonderful young lady and a fabulous big sister 💫👏💫💝
Spectacular Colors. That drone footage is amazing. Well done.
So cute Jack sat still for you to cut his hair and he is singing.
He’s pretty cute hey, he’s so comfortable and trusting with all of us 🥰🥰
@@BigOzExplorers I demand a cuddle
@@ouradventerousdays I try that everyday and get told no 😂🙄
@@BigOzExplorers hahahaha my 2yo girl Evie didn't like cuddle either 😭.
This put thing into prospective. On abc radio Saturday night. There been 75k caravaners visit the Kimberley this year due to Coronavirse. It's giving a great boost to towns.
Wow that’s a lot hey! It’s definitely pumping up here at the moment!! 😮
We love it when Chris and Jack are twinning 😎
Thank yopu was Great to watch
Great ep guys! Loved the flowers, love how Jayda is with Jack, Jack’s tantrums are cute and funny and sad all in one. Loved the free camps, wolf creek!!! Arhhh but pretty cool. And the Bungle Bungles!! We loved it there!
Keep safe & enjoy!! Looking forward to the next one as us Vics are in lock down.
Loved both bunches of flowers 💐
I would love to go to the crater, amazing how this planet is so fragile
Another great episode
The crater was quite spectacular and that dinner looked scrumptious. Looking forward to the Bungle Bungles. 😎
Another great video, love Chris's hair. Both your kids are great and entertaining. Always look forward to your next vlog. 👍😁xx
Each episode you guys get better and better at this travelling around stuff. Drone footage is awesome and you are really going out of your way now to show what the country looks like as you travel through. All great stuff.
Thanks so much for noticing and saying it Mick 🥰🙌🏻
Great vid guys, keep them coming!
Most excellent! Can't wait for the next episode. Keep well.
I am praying for your safety at this time! We have heard stories about what is going on in
Australia. Missed having your video waiting for us here in Eastern Canada this morning.
Godspeed and safe travels!!!
Awesome as usual guys.the Ziggy is better in ways as you can cook snags with the lid up as well.has a bigger burner .may use more gas but is more usable.the lid is very smart as well which I never noticed.look forward to the bungle bungles.looks awesome.🙂👍
Thank you so much, love seeing where you are & what your doing, take care & stay safe, from Karen
We stayed at another free camp not far from wolf creek that was a big waterhole some locals told us about.From memory it was on LHS heading in to Halls Creek
Wow - I stayed at Warmun in 1997 while travelling oz and the washing machine was free then too!! Only one I've ever found on my many travels around oz. Soooo generous of them - should be more of it with the price of caravan parks these days! Happy travels.
Another fantastic episode! Thanks guys!
Cool ep again guys! Awesome little caravan park that one!
Another great episode, thank you for music info :) We are really getting itchy to come back to Aussie. Take care until next time. (UK)
Departing vic in late oct hopefully good vid catch ya on the track
Oi ! I'm Mick and please slow down as I am older now since that movie and need to catch up with you...he he he ! Thanks guys, don't worry about Mick, he's now a toothless tiger.
All jokes aside, I do thank you as usual for the great coverage and drone view....Superb
Really enjoyable episode. Poor Jack😔….growing up is hard sometimes!
Awesome video again.
We did the Tanami Track from east to west our shocks were toast at the end, especially as the track up to Wolf Creek was the worse
Lol at Jack's tantrum, bless him.
Love you guys, stay safe.
Oh really! We must of got very lucky, it was like a bitumen highway! 🙌🏻
Yay another episode 🥳🥳
G'day Chris,Sian,Jayda and Jack,great to see another episode.I could tell you some
stories about Fitzroy n Halls crk,but not on this channel.Enjoyed the vid,Thanks Team....
oh i'm glad i got the roasting tray when you first told us about them. Doing a slide out for a ziggy right now so thanks for the tips!
Another great episode guys. 👏🏻🍻
Awesome video, great service n looks nice n clean at the Warmun roadhouse. Wolf Creek will definitely be on the list, have already been to Hemmant craters near Uluru
Loved the vid guys. You are getting to see some amazing places. Just ordered some of your merch, and can’t wait to get it and wear it, feel part of the club. Wishing you all well, stay safe.
Thanks Kenneth, really appreciate the support 🥰☺️
As always, good video guys!! Nugget!! you ran out of beer! I try to never do that mate! LOL
So does he normally 😂😂 a most unusual situation lol!!
Hahaha….. good to see you are having a “detox” with some port! Only way to detox, imho.
Who would have thought you could detox alcohol by drinking another type of alcohol instead 😜
Hi Chris & Sian been enjoying your travels in W.A. with regards to the Ziggy and the Weber Q there is a problem with both complying with gas regs AS/NZ S5601.2 gas installations- L.P.G. When a BBQ is connected to a bayonet fitting the installation must have a Flame Failure Device fitted. The crazy part is if the BBQ is run off a gas bottle with a regulator it is legal. Apparently Weber making a Weber Q fitted with FFD mid 2022 apparently the there is no kit planned to retro fit to earlier models. I have the same situation with my van I have a gas licence and am currently checking what can be done the risk of danger is extremely low insurance is my concerns but the regs are the regs.
Ours is hard wired (so to speak) to mains gas and that runs to the bottle at the front of the van. Is that different?
@@BigOzExplorers hi Chris yeah apparently its hard plumbed gas bayonet fitting that doesn't comply apparently classed as a permanent installation, really this crazy a bayonet fitting and a braided stainless hose is very safe, my thoughts are a gas bottle with regulator and hose on bbq slide would have more potential issues. I am in the same boat as yourselves identical set along with thousands of others. Safe travels Regards Ian.
Another great video thanks. We have been chasing the blasted 32cm roasting tray for months to no avail as it is no longer available as you say. We have just bought a Baccarat Granite Roaster 34cm that fits in our 1 burner Ziggy. Next step will to be cook a roast in it.
Great vid guys loved it
Great episode guys, what an amazing place.
I received your sticker this week and it's on pride of place on my 4B. I would love to get the Australian one with the heart beat.
That’s awesome Roger, thanks for the support 🥰🥰
Awesome episode. Thank you for sharing your journeys with is all.
Do you get a bit scared at some of these places?
I did laugh at Jack's tantrum, reminded me of my kids (oh so long ago). Good honest family adventures. Love it. Never give up. We all love you 💜💜
PS Loved Jayda's bouquet (Mum, yours was pretty too)
🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️
Not scared really, if we ever feel safe the joy of a house of wheels is that you can move 🙌🏻😁🤙🏻
Foxy Lady!
Great episode shame I missed it live
No live that episode, we were off grid and couldn’t do it 😓
@@BigOzExplorers so I didn’t miss anything than all good 👍
Most enjoyable Chris ,Sian & family. Am curious to know Chris why the dust all over your black T shirt. A quick fix underneath? Keep up the good job you are all doing and enjoy it. Safe travelling. 👍
Hey Kevin, good spot! We had a little rattle under the car and it turned out to be a loose bolt on the exhaust. Quick tighten and back on the road. Always doing maintenance when travelling on dirt and corrugated roads.. 💨
Awesome
hey guys love your work really enjoy watching your episode and getting ideas for our own travels. Quick question ive seen your knives hanging on the magnetic rack do you leave them on there while traveling or take them down? have you ever had them fall off.
Cheers and safe travels
You're game going to wolfe creek, there is a movie about that lol
We read up on it and turns out it’s very different to the movie! Lucky!! 😉🤙🏻
How did u even train Jack to have a routine #2 time? Lol. That's amazing hahaga. I have 3 girls and they never have that kind of routine 🤣, Evie my youngest sometimes woke up in the middle of the night to poo 😅😅.
Oh trust me we didn’t train him that’s for sure we just got lucky for a short while, that routine is now gone and done, it’s back to when he feels like it and when it is most inconvenient for us 😂😂
@@BigOzExplorers oh no. Does he goes to a corner and away from u guys when he needs to do his business? Mine one does, and went you see her, she will walk away or say no no, it means give her privacy 🤣 and when she done you asked her she said poo 🤣🤣
@@ouradventerousdays exactly the same 😂 he likes to hide behind the caravan wheels 😂 💩
@@BigOzExplorers ahahaha that's so cute 🥰
🇦🇺😃👍 Great Episode
I was just wondering do you have a device set up to catch water 💦 when it rains . When you are free camping.
Take care on the roads.
Agree regarding the graffiti and/or names and stickers, people have to really step back and think might this be disrespectful to others
Sian - those utensils are filthy, Chris - I'm a bit of a clean freak ( would of loved to see the look on Sian face as you were saying that ).
the utensils were dirty, the BBQ was pretty dirty and your saying your a clean freak, who are you trying to convince. Don't worry I'm not
trying to judge as mine would be worse than that not much but
definitely worse. Love you Vid's, wish I was there with you ( in my own car ).😂
I had a laugh watching this back, I’m a clean freak while demoing a dirty bbq and utensils 😂😂🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ hopeless!!
OMG NO VIDEO THIS WEEK HOPE ALL IS WELL
How about a caption competition with a picture of Jack's tantrum?
"The Tanami Track - Noooooo!"
"What, we are going to that place in the movie!"
"Wait until I flatten out these corrugations"
We camped there overnight a few years ago and I took a copy of the filn with me but nobody wanted to watch it for some reason.
Probably smart not to watch it 😂 no one would of slept!! Lol
Awesome vid guys, we always enjoy watching your adventures.
Chris/Ziggy king, how do you go with temp control? I always seem to run really hot with the Ziggy and was curious how you guys go with yours?
It is quite hot. We run on full temp to bring up the temp from cold and then usually pull back to low for most cooking. Wedging the lid open just a tad can help if you need to slow cook on a lower temp ☺️
Awesome thanks mate for your reply 👍. I'll give it a crack this weekend
Did you go back to Bow River lol
So guys where does the gas come from.Is it hard connected or into the bayonet.
Hard connected to a point on the outside of the van under the tunnel boot. We had to drill a hole through the tunnel boot floor to connect it! 😮😮
Just spray your Ziggy with wd40 let it sit for 10 minutes then hose off do it a few times depending how baked on the crap is. But don’t spray your hot plate or gas pipe.
Good tip thank you! Will have to have a go 🙌🏻
Hey guys just wanting to know what size inverter and battery bank do you run
We have a 2000W inverter and 200ah battery with 600W solar :)
The nikname if this flowers are “Billibobs”
Good to know thank you! 🥰
Cracka episode guys, that Wolf Crater is huge and looks amazing
2 Questions guys plz
What happened to the front left of the Patrol ??
&
What to you guys use for safety or protection out there, do you carry a weapon of some sort ??
Keep up the great work guys and be safe 👌👌
We lost a small panel near the light if that’s what you mean? Have ordered a replacement bit which is now on ☺️ and safety wise we have a bat but it’s under the bed and never been used or considered once, not much really to be honest! Cheers for tuning in ☺️
@@BigOzExplorers Thanks for the reply guys 👌👌🍺🍺
I have a Ziggy and are you able to get the lid off to clean it without undoing every bolt.
Not off entirely I don’t think? But you shouldn’t need to really??
@@BigOzExplorers Thanks, I rang Ziggy they have a brush to use when the lid is down and you do it from the back.
SIAN COULD I PLEASE HAVE OR POSSIBLY BUY A BIG OZ STICKER FOR OUR NEW CARAVAN? PLOISE
Hey Marni, I saw your email! I’ll send it out this week! 😁🤙🏻
Your a clean freak. Except with your BBQ cooking utensils.
I know it’s funny hey 😂🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
WHICH ISIT? ORF OR OFF LOL XOXO
😂😂
About time someone cut Jacks hair, could do with more, he’s looking like a little girlNo I’m looking forward to seeing him get a decent chop
It wasn't really much of a haircut though, barely a cm lol.
Had to work our way into it lol … mainly me who didn’t want to cut it to be honest 😂🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Sorry to say it's not so interesting until about 27mins in. I must confess that long monologues are not why I watch.....
What is it with the Aussies and boys hair cuts...they all look like girls!!! Cut the boys hair for God sake! If you are going to cut it...cut it...Dad's hair is not down to his shoulder's...Cut it!
Keep watching the latest episodes, it got cut. There are no professional hairdressers out in the bush and I'm not qualified for a makeover mop to style cut. Nothing to do with the 'aussie trend' or Mums 'need' to keep it long however, everything to do with the remoteness and lack of access to a hairdresser. 🤟🏻
girl, how'd you land such a dull man
Heyyyyy?! You must be missing something 🥰
Wow, I spent 5 years working in a Gold mine out in the Tanami, and I know why you made a personal choice not to stay in Halls Creek, that would be my personal choice as well
