Chris mate, you are amazing listening to your struggles. Not seeing family, I am so proud of you and Meiam for always sharing your real-life stories. My wife and I travel and live in a motorhome towing a jimny. Loving life, but we do miss kids and grandchildren. Love you both for sharing and being real. Regards Duncan and Doreen
Hey it’s Klingey Winner winner 🕺🕺. Thanks guys , your legends . Just saw on your latest vid I have won a $50 prize .so excited . I’ll come do the Salnon with you one day
Visited Shark Bay in 2012 with the camper trailer, spent 5 days based at Bottle Bay, absolute perfect spot, then 3 days at Double Beach on Tamala Station where we did a day trip to Steep Point. The turbo charged 1HZ did not like the sand hill climb, we had lunch up the top while the motor cooled down. Looking forward to our next trip camping at Steep Point with the roof top tent.
Luv that your willing to help everyone out, even with a smile and joke. Leave no one in trouble behind is my motto. Luv your spirit and joy fullness. Thank you for sharing. 🎉🎉❤
We were staying at Tamala Station when it was open, and did a day trip to Steep Point. Walked a heap of the coastline, and watched so serious land based balloon fishing. I say serious because the waves were climbing the cliff and showering the fishers and their vehicles with salt water. Insane. Also did you see the faultline between DHI and Steep Point. It's visible in calmer waters. At Tamala Stn I took some wild pics of sunrise in WA over the ocean. Only a couple of places you can do that. Lol .
Steep Point was one of our favourite destinations when we went to WA 10 years ago. Your videos keep making us add more places to our bucket list . We usually watch the new videos with our morning tea cup of coffee - love your happiness - also love the Chev - even though we have a F350 coming very soon! Safe travels!
Did you say F350!? Sorry can’t talk to you anymore 😂😂😂 thanks so much Christine. It means a lot. It makes us happy that you’re enjoying it. Take care 🙏🏼
That was an absolutely first class vid. Fantastic photography and footage, great info and banter... And drop those damn tyre pressures people!! Never been, but now we want to go! Glad you ticked off another bucket list item 💪👌
What a mission!! We looked at driving in there but didn’t attempt it last year. Definitely the early morning escape & the beautiful sunrise 🌅 for us! Being ex dairy farmers we have definitely witnessed a lot of sunrises 💞
Good Morning 😊 Please add the correct ⛽ fuel 😂 Thanks for the info on tyre pressures . 🎵🎶🎵 music time 😂🤣 Traffic Jam or Rush hour 😂 Being bogged aint fun 😢 Go Chevy, that's how you do it 💯 Beautiful Camp Spot 👍🏼 The welcome committee's THE FLIES 😂 Delicious Steak 😋Rough Night Mates 😢 Beautiful sunrise 👏🏼 Thanks Legends for an amazing episode , Hats off guys 👍🏼💯 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Love the vid guys. Just stumbled across your channel and it is a bloody ripper. Doing a 73 day lap next year and I'll be watching all your stuff for research. And all I have to say about my favourite part of this vid is tire pressures folks, do it right.
So excited to watch you guys at Shelter Bay and Steep Point. We head up there in 4 weeks and have five nights on Dirk Hartog Island. Booked this bucket list trip a year ago and CANNOT wait to head north! We love being West Aussies and love how much you both love our state too! ❤
I’ve got the 4x4, I’ve got the caravan, dam it I don’t have the time of work just yet to do a big trip, the day will come though but in the mean time little trips will do. UA-cam videos is all that I watch nowadays so thanks. You hit the nail on the head with tyre pressures, #1 rule is lower the tyre pressures before anything else. Cheers.
We were there last year in late May and headed over to DIRK Hartog for 6 days. It is everything you talked about and more enjoy. We left our van and Isuzu truck at Hamlin Poole and tented from the MUX. Two couples and had a kitchen tent at the homestead campground.
Did it in our boat from Denham, couple hours tops, day trip. Also did Dirk Hartog on a trip prior to that and again from Denham in the boat. Stayed at the lodge then camped up at Whitwell bay at the top of DHI for a week or so. Great spot but bugga driving a 4WD there when in reality you need a boat to enjoy the joint, might as well go straight across in the boat.
I enjoyed the hole video as i do each time, great trip to steep point i did it 25 years ago drove from xmass day night though the night, i got there about 10am boxing spent most time asleep and could not get a line in the water to catch a fish, packed leave the same day, to head back home, after watchin your program think may make trip back up there again... thank you ADU..
As a born & bred Sandgroper for these last 64 years and have lived in the Pilbara- I have never ever been to Steep Point and driven past the turn off to Shark Bay area many times and you know what? After seeing your video- I just have to go now - your informative and very entertaining videos give me confidence to give it a shot🤓 My favourite parts are when you pull over and very patiently rescue Everyone - well done guys - you really should think about painting that beast bright yellow and put some flashing lights on it “Aussie Destination International Rescue” 😝 Thunderbirds are go!
Another good trick with the bow shackles is to put a rubber o ring on the pin. I’ve used this trick for years and it stops them from rattling loose but you can still undo them with your fingers 😊
Man. I hope you guys are touring close by when we get bogged! I love that you get in and just help people and don't bag them out! Awesome attitudes to life and helping others. Loving the videos and the tips. Cant wait to be on the road too 😊
Steep Point is on our bucket list... Recently did a trip to the Gampions and the Flinders Rangers but alas we can't stay out forever... :D Are looking at more travels later but at this stage targeting the more known travel destinations... @@AussieDestinationsUnknown
Outstanding again! An amazing part of the state, we have been fortunate enough to have been there and going back again next year. False entrance and crayfish bay is a place you should put on you list for when you return. Stay safe guys and enjoy the Gibb. Good onus
Insane video, that sun rise on your way back from Steep point is breathtaking as Chris would say and we hole heartily agree. Stupid question 🙈 we have no clue how to contact you to claim our gift. Thanx for your hard work Cheers Johnny&Rene
Possibly the worst road we've done in Australia (our son cracked a tooth eating a Mentos on the corrugations😮). We did it in a day trip from Hamelin Stat. Next time would definitely camp and go across to DH. It is one of the most stunning coastlines in WA! So totally worth the road.
We've done southern point in our younger days. Eastern as we're from Qld and the Cape. Want to do Steep point and fav bit was the track info. Will be a swag trip for us. Love it guys.....
You know about 8 months ago i was having a bad day and I was a major moron and moaned about your car building project. Dumbest thing I have ever put on you tube. You guys have the best content. Apologies for my PTSD rant. No excuse, but keep up the good work.
Another super video thank you. More ideas for these International Travellers only 7 weeks to go now. Amusing part for us is tyre pressures, tyre pressures, tyre pressures👍😉 will we ever forget!. Take care for now love from the UK.🥰
Going to Shelter Bay in 2 weeks, hope I get through. I will be towing a small hybrid caravan, so going to a little tough. Now, watching this, can you tell me what tyre pressures the white tray back ute have with the white boat on the back have?. To me, far too high, it was dragging the trailer wheels through the sand, not rolling over the sand, far too high. Would go down to 6 to 8 psi on the trailer and 10 to 12 on the car.
We have planned to go into steep point in April 2024 during our 4 weeks trip. Steep Point has been in my bucket list for a long time. Have watched alot of you tube videos however yours has been the best so far. Love how you guys just get and help others. We just need to work out where to leave the caravan. Some say overlander some say Denham. We have a prado and no all about tyre pressures which will obviously help. Can’t wait for this trip so much has gone into planning and we’ve just picked up our caravan so all preparations are under way.
Loving Steep Point videos. Why don’t people lower their Tyre pressures in soft sand including the trailers Tyres. Also using low range makes all the difference in super soft sand. Thanks for sharing a great job. Russell.
Mate I think people are a little scared that they are lowering them too much. As long as they can pump them up a little once they are out of a situation then it’s not a problem.
Just answered my question a little further in, running 20 psi, got to be kidding me. Why are people scared to going down to the 10 psi you set them at, good job.
We tried to get out there just over a month ago, and the day we planned to go the road got closed because of unseasonal rain had hit in the few days before hand 😢 so we missed out
500 odd kms return, bogged etc, versus 20 nautical miles across through Blind Straight from Denham in a hire boat. Why would you drive there? What, you wanted to see Dirk Hartog Island without paying $700 to barge across with your 4WD? Again, you drive past the Ledge on DHI in the hire boat on the way out through blind straight past shelter bay & steep point. It just makes no sense to 4WD out there, when it’s such a short trip in a boat from Denham. 🙄
We love how generous you guys are helping others out (literally!) Our Steep Point story hasn’t been written yet, but we’re sooooo looking forward to it in about 2 years’ time. Thanks for sharing your trip with us, for both information and inspiration 😍 @brewsontour
Tire pressure needs to be at 10lb in sticky situations or burn the clutch out and be stuck for a few days with a $2000 repair bill. There's not much room for error when 4WDing??
Another great episode and its great how Chris tells us all about tyre pressure's and how it makes a real difference. So i hope more people follow this info and keep the tracks moving. Take Care🏖🪰👣🤟😉

Thanks so much - yes, it can be a lonely life sometimes!
Thanks for taking me there, awesome, leaving at 5am not so bad at least you would not get stuck behind bogged people.
Haha yes!! We didn’t see a soul on the way out 😁
Hey it’s Klingey Winner winner 🕺🕺. Thanks guys , your legends . Just saw on your latest vid I have won a $50 prize .so excited . I’ll come do the Salnon with you one day
Wahoo!!! Did you want to Dm us on Facebook or Instagram with your email address?

❤ well done guys , dont let the pressure let you down😂 ,live it up!!
Hahaha!! 😁
Another great video, thanks guys! Steep Point now added to my WA bucket list!!!
Hehe - you’ll have a great itinerary ahead of you 😁

Ah the memories!! 😁😁
Thanks, Chris. Your education around correct tyre pressures is so valuable. As it keeps these important things in your head front of mind.
You’re welcome buddy
Luv that your willing to help everyone out, even with a smile and joke. Leave no one in trouble behind is my motto. Luv your spirit and joy fullness. Thank you for sharing. 🎉🎉❤
Thanks so much Kevin….I don’t have it in me to drive past someone that needs help. It’s all part of what we do
A great point Chris mentioned about burning out a clutch.
Absolutely

This is the best channel on YT.
Omg thanks so much Barry…it means a lot mate.
Road is shocking. Been going there since 1986. After many times there,we went to Dirk Hartog . Going to Lucky bay in a few weeks, can't wait.
Bummed we didn’t get to Dirk but we’ll be back next year 🙌🏼

Hey Chris, when ya talking through the window we’re you standing on the sidestep 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
So excited to watch you guys at Shelter Bay and Steep Point. We head up there in 4 weeks and have five nights on Dirk Hartog Island. Booked this bucket list trip a year ago and CANNOT wait to head north! We love being West Aussies and love how much you both love our state too! ❤
Oh how awesome!! WA is absolutely stunning … especially the Shark Bay Area! We can’t wait to to Dirks next year 😁😁
I’ve got the 4x4, I’ve got the caravan, dam it I don’t have the time of work just yet to do a big trip, the day will come though but in the mean time little trips will do. UA-cam videos is all that I watch nowadays so thanks. You hit the nail on the head with tyre pressures, #1 rule is lower the tyre pressures before anything else. Cheers.
Keep that plan and dream alive….it will come true in no time 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
We were there last year in late May and headed over to DIRK Hartog for 6 days. It is everything you talked about and more enjoy. We left our van and Isuzu truck at Hamlin Poole and tented from the MUX. Two couples and had a kitchen tent at the homestead campground.
Sounds like an epic adventure 🙌🏼
Awesome take care ❤
Thanks! You too!
Steep points awesome.
The trip was awesome into steep point. We camped at turtle 1. But yes very windy haha.
It’s such a great spot! Aside from the wind 🤪
Did it in our boat from Denham, couple hours tops, day trip. Also did Dirk Hartog on a trip prior to that and again from Denham in the boat. Stayed at the lodge then camped up at Whitwell bay at the top of DHI for a week or so.
Great spot but bugga driving a 4WD there when in reality you need a boat to enjoy the joint, might as well go straight across in the boat.
We have a boat now - so can do that next time 😁
If you were amazed at Steep Point, wait till you go across to Dirk Hartog Island. Going there next month for the fourth time.
We couldn’t get there this time but will definitely be going next time!
The view from steep point and the scenery along the way was awesome
It sure is!!! 😁👌🏼
I enjoyed the hole video as i do each time, great trip to steep point i did it 25 years ago drove from xmass day night though the night, i got there about 10am boxing spent most time asleep and could not get a line in the water to catch a fish, packed leave the same day, to head back home, after watchin your program think may make trip back up there again... thank you ADU..

Another good trick with the bow shackles is to put a rubber o ring on the pin. I’ve used this trick for years and it stops them from rattling loose but you can still undo them with your fingers 😊
That's a great idea!
Lying on the bed with the sliding doors open watching this episode is better than main stream Tele for sure.
Thanks heaps legends!! Appreciate it 😁🙌🏼🙏🏼
Another Hot tip for the sign boards “ Turn ya wheels Straight” 😂
Haha yep that always helps
Excellent episode. Good man for helping those bogged guys.
Thanks Bill 🍻😁✌🏼
Man. I hope you guys are touring close by when we get bogged! I love that you get in and just help people and don't bag them out! Awesome attitudes to life and helping others. Loving the videos and the tips. Cant wait to be on the road too 😊
Thanks Lisa…really appreciate it. It’s all about helping each other isn’t it
Wow 😲guys what an AWESOME episode once again. I loved everything about this episode defs have to put this on the bucket list too 😍✌️
Glad you enjoyed it! And yep 💯 put it on the list 🙌🏼
I would love to shadow you guys on a trip your always helping out with bogs well done guys
Next time! 😂😜
Good morning Guys... ;)
Morning!

@@AussieDestinationsUnknown
Oh really!! The Grampians is definitely on our list. We drove past there last year and it looked amazing
Outstanding again! An amazing part of the state, we have been fortunate enough to have been there and going back again next year.
False entrance and crayfish bay is a place you should put on you list for when you return.
Stay safe guys and enjoy the Gibb.
Good onus
Couldn't agree more! And yep we’ll put it on the list when we return next year.
Hi Guys, best part was when you unselfishly stopped to help your fellow travelers get out of a potentially bad situation.
Thank you! It’s the right thing to do 😁
Insane video, that sun rise on your way back from Steep point is breathtaking as Chris would say and we hole heartily agree.
Stupid question 🙈 we have no clue how to contact you to claim our gift.

We did dh and it was spectacular..
So good hey!
My favourite was Chris actually taking over the sign reading at the entrance to Edel National Park. Who would have thought!
😂😂😂 not bad for a man that can’t read hey
Another super video thank you. More ideas for these International Travellers only 7 weeks to go now. Amusing part for us is tyre pressures, tyre pressures, tyre pressures👍😉 will we ever forget!. Take care for now love from the UK.🥰
Thanks Roy!! Wahoo, counting down the days mate. How long are you coming over for?
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown 2 great months, we did 3 last year!
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown We will be in WA for 2 months, carrying on where left off last year....👌
Going to Shelter Bay in 2 weeks, hope I get through. I will be towing a small hybrid caravan, so going to a little tough.
Now, watching this, can you tell me what tyre pressures the white tray back ute have with the white boat on the back have?. To me, far too high, it was dragging the trailer wheels through the sand, not rolling over the sand, far too high. Would go down to 6 to 8 psi on the trailer and 10 to 12 on the car.
😁
Fun with the 40 psi club, there was enough of them there would have left them to it. City slickers.
Haha it’s all good. Happy to help people out. 😁✌🏼
We have planned to go into steep point in April 2024 during our 4 weeks trip. Steep
Point has been in my bucket list for a long time. Have watched alot of you tube videos however yours has been the best so far. Love how you guys just get and help others.
We just need to work out where to leave the caravan. Some say overlander some say Denham. We have a prado and no all about tyre pressures which will obviously help.
Can’t wait for this trip so much has gone into planning and we’ve just picked up our caravan so all preparations are under way.
Great to hear mate!! Don’t miss this place.
Hamelin Station is a great place to leave your caravan too. Zap then a massage for pricing 🙌🏼😁
Loving Steep Point videos. Why don’t people lower their Tyre pressures in soft sand including the trailers Tyres. Also using low range makes all the difference in super soft sand.

Russell.
Mate I think people are a little scared that they are lowering them too much. As long as they can pump them up a little once they are out of a situation then it’s not a problem.
Love the setup guys! What model is the breville in your canopy?
Thanks Blake…umm I think it’s the 10 in one cooker. Not sure what model it is
Just answered my question a little further in, running 20 psi, got to be kidding me. Why are people scared to going down to the 10 psi you set them at, good job.
Haha exactly! 😁
great advice about tyre pressures, but why did they stop at the bottom of the dune with that boat. great video guys
Thanks mate….umm I think the first guy got bigger and the others couldn’t pass.
on the bucket list , how do rate the Garmin Overlander?
Absolutely love it!!! Runs rings over HEMA
We tried to get out there just over a month ago, and the day we planned to go the road got closed because of unseasonal rain had hit in the few days before hand 😢 so we missed out
Bummer guys
My bucket list is the 5 points of main land Australia N .S .E .W. and Centre
Haha yep same to us. We only have one to go ✌🏼😁
500 odd kms return, bogged etc, versus 20 nautical miles across through Blind Straight from Denham in a hire boat.
Why would you drive there?
What, you wanted to see Dirk Hartog Island without paying $700 to barge across with your 4WD?
Again, you drive past the Ledge on DHI in the hire boat on the way out through blind straight past shelter bay & steep point.
It just makes no sense to 4WD out there, when it’s such a short trip in a boat from Denham. 🙄
It’s all part of the adventure for us…and it would also be a little hard to take everything with us if we used a boat.
Typical for Toyotas to get bogged
😂😂😂 now now
Do u guys get sick of getting stuck behind unprepared and un knowledgeable people with the wrong type of vehicle etc for what they are doing.
Haha umm sometimes it can get a little frustrating but we are more than happy to help people out. It’s just part of the community ✌🏼😁
We love how generous you guys are helping others out (literally!) Our Steep Point story hasn’t been written yet, but we’re sooooo looking forward to it in about 2 years’ time. Thanks for sharing your trip with us, for both information and inspiration 😍 @brewsontour
Thanks so much guys!!! And start writing that story 🙌🏼😁
Tire pressure needs to be at 10lb in sticky situations or burn the clutch out and be stuck for a few days with a $2000 repair bill. There's not much room for error when 4WDing??
👍🏼
Another great episode and its great how Chris tells us all about tyre pressure's and how it makes a real difference. So i hope more people follow this info and keep the tracks moving. Take Care🏖🪰👣🤟😉
I hope so too!
