On The Waugh Path lap of Australia - UA-cam family caravanning Australia - Western Australia
Welcome & great to have you travelling along with us! We're On The Waugh Path and we've been visiting campsites around Australia for over 18 months, wanting to do The Gibb River Rd forever! We live in our caravan full time and love sharing our lap of Australia via UA-cam - up to episode 16 - final doing the Gibb River Rd!
This episode, we finally get to travel the iconic Gibb River Road in The Kimberley region of Australia! We explore all the sites along the way:
- Break something very early on
- We find freshwater crocodiles at the awesome Windjana Gorge
- Stay at Windjana Gorge campground with its huge boab trees
- Check out Tunnel Creek swimming through water with fresh water crocodiles
- Make our way through a tough creek crossing to Lennard Gorge
- Take a swim under the waterfall at Lennard Gorge
- Stay at Silent Grove campground and find the van a mess
- Visit the stunning Bell Borge for a swim and rock slide near the waterfall
- Take a leap from the rope swing into the water at Galvans Gorge
Have you travelled The Gibb River Road? What did you think? Did you have anything go wrong? Did your car and caravan make it through The Gibb River Rd in one piece?
We hope these videos give you some inspiration to travel Australia, and some tips and information for planning to do the lap of Australia.

I played your Gibb road videos backwards 3 then 2 and 1 because thats the direction I took - I was taken back in time 7 years thank you so very much for these videos. You had an adventure that few people take... wonderful.
Brilliant reminder of bell Gorge
Naw thanks so much guys!
nice place for holiday in nature
loved it as per usual. I can understand sleeping in car :):):):)
It would be nice to sleep the hours away of the bumpy Gibb, we need one person driving and the other in the look out for dips and big rocks 😬
Adventure if a lifetime. awesome 🍺🍺
Cheers guys.
Great episode
Another awesome episode! Glad you decided to do UA-cam episodes as your footage is great but I love the honesty you guys share.
Thanks so much Shona, really appreciate it 👍
I absolutely love your content, so good to see another girl driving with the van on 🤩👌. I do the majority of the driving with the van myself and I absolutely love it, hubby usually sleeps while I drive too so he gets a lot of well deserved down time while I drive. Thanks for being authentic and sharing your adventures 😍
Naw thanks Anita! That's great that you're towing too - why not hey? Not sure why it's considered for a man's domain, we have 2 arms and a brain too :-)
Great video guys
Looking forward to the next one
Cheers mate 👍
Another great episode guys. Loved following you as you explored all the wonderful gorges. 😎 Interestingly, the family you see in the background at Galvans Gorge when Danny is captured in mid air, is another family doing a big trip much like yours. They call themselves Going Overland. I am following you both here on YT. It seems many of the travelling families that I follow were all on the Gibb River Road at the same time. 🙂
Yeah I think you’re right about that. In fact apart from Going Overland I think we did it before some of the others. I still have to check Going Overland out. I think you’ve mentioned them before actually.
@@ebonywaugh7271 I have been following a few family groups such as yourselves and the GO crew and enjoying all of the wonderful places you are visiting. It is inspiring as I gear up to hopefully hit the road myself early next year. 🙂
not long to go now for you before you're off!
Thats our dream the Gibb. Can't wait to do it. It looks soo good. The swimming holes look so refreshing.
The swimming holes are great and yes definitely refreshing. We’d been dreaming of doing it for years!
Driving the Gibb River Road was fun. Your video brought up so many wonderful and unforgettable memories. 🙌 Greetings from Germany. 👋
that's so cool!! Love that we brought back those memories for you! Greetings to Germany!
Great to see the whole family is enjoying the Gibb River Road. The Gorges are fantastic. I've been fortunate enough to have done the Gibb a few times and enjoyed it immensely every time. Lots to see and do. Keep up the good work, love following your travels. We hope to be up that way next year.
Thanks mate. Wow, you’ve done it a few times?! That’s very adventurous. Has the road been much different on the different times?
@@ebonywaugh7271 it depends on when the grader went through. It was much the same each time although some sections were rougher than others. I must admit we weren't towing a caravan, but we did do all the Gorges, Kalumburu and Mitchell Plateau, Mornington Station, the Karunjie Track etc, etc. Lots to see and do. We will be towing a caravan next time though and doing it in luxury. You seem to be doing it OK, and good to see you Ebony, tackling some of those tracks.
Sounds like we've still got a lot to go back and see then!
Great vid, I didn't know dad could do backflips,🤣🤣🤣 he can't, 🤸 What an adventure for the kids, also educational. We wanted to do those trips in the 70s, but didn't work out , Was a station hand in my younger days, Happy safe travels Regards Bevan from Sapphire Central Queensland 🤠🇦🇺❤️
Hi Bevan. That’s right, no backflips here, not even in our earlier years 😆. Yep it’s an epic adventure especially for the kids. Being a station hand would have been a big adventure too, I bet you’ve got heaps of great stories.
Absolutely enjoyed this episode as I did the others. Missed your rambling session. The footage was bl:::::y marvellous, some of those fresh water crocs looked rather large and a bit scary. I think Ace could do with a neck pillow on those rough roads but he has no trouble falling asleep. Your episode and commentary sure makes the trip across the Gibb very inviting,thanks for sharing your journey keep on enjoying yourselves. Looking forward to your episode and your posts
Thanks Jim 🙏. Ha, yes Ace could definitely do with a neck pillow, we should invest in one of those 👍. No rambling for this one but we’ll bring it back next episode 👍
Thanks. I have started watched quite a few GRR videos in preparation for my own adventure. Really enjoyed this - don't know what it is that makes this one of the better videos I have watched, perhaps a good balance between road, gorge walking, campsites or maybe just AA (Awesome Ace) and his dancing. Now off to watch some of your other episodes. PS am about to get myself a GoPro - I am hoping you may have an episode where you may mention the good/bad of it and what accessories you find useful - here's hoping!
Hiya! Thanks for that great review of our GRR episode, really appreciate it. Love the ‘AA’ Ace will love that 😆❤️ We love his dances and songs that he keeps making up. Re the go pro, it’s hard to comment because that’s all we’ve used so don’t have much to compare it to. The one we use in the car is very old and we get comments that the sound on it isn’t great. The one we normally use is pretty good but again, hard to compare to similar products in the market. Sorry we couldn’t be more help with that.
Hint: place rubber bands around your beer cans to stop them rubbing together and busting in your fridge.👍
That’s a great tip! Thanks 🙏
Great episode! Was nervous for you guys in tunnel gorge 😂 we can't wait to hit the Gibb next year, are definitely going to make sure our coffee is packed safely, as that is a disaster!! ☕😁
When are you guys going to hit the Gibb? You'll love it.
The plan at this stage is June 🤞 looks like such a beautiful part of Australia, we can't wait!
Love watching your vids, so down to earth, informative and practical tips. Only thing is we can’t hear you very well every time you’re in the car.
Sorry about that Nicholas, we're trying to fix it. Unfortunately we've filmed the Gibb already so we can't use a better mic for these episodes. We're seeing what we can do for future ones though.
Just binging your whole series. Great videos😊
We had a similar coffee situation coming out of Cobbold Gorge in NQ last year. Ours was worse as a carton of long life milk wore through and leaked everywhere and mixed together🤢 Lucky it was our non dairy drinker's rice milk - it could have been far worse🤣
haha! Coffee and milk together, that would have been fun to clean! Thanks for watching Lea :-)
@@onthewaughpath6552 I was glad we made a last minute decision to go with power and water at a van park instead of free camping😅
No snorkel, no worries? I’m looking at doing the GRR though I needed a snorkel?
Hey - we don't have a snorkel and there was only 1 crossing that we couldn't do without it. But it will obviously depend on when you're doing it. We did it at the end of the dry season. Waters will be higher at the start, and depending on how wet the season is.
Another awesome ep guys. How did the jeep cope with the Gibb? Any damage?
You’ll have to wait for the next few episodes to see 😉. Nah, we’re really happy with the Jeep, it’s been a great car.
Another great episode but to me the fuel seems cheap 😂
The average price of diesel here in Wales is £148.4 a litre that’s $ 2.75 Australian.
Wowsers! That’s expensive. And this was the most expensive we’ve had the whole trip!
Have you had any major problems with the van ? Cheers Ian
Hiya Ian. The van has been pretty good. A few issues but nothing too serious that would make us avoid the brand in future.
How did you find the road from Windjana to Tunnel caves? Thinking of coming through this way and keep on the road for another 100km or so to get back towards Fitzroy crossing
It was ok, but we parked the caravan at Windjana and only took the jeep. That was a while ago now, so no sure how the road would be now.
What software/hardware do you use to edit ya videos?? do you keep all the videos on external HDD?
Hi Mark. We use a program on our apple mac. Storage is very annoying - we have a lot on our external HD. We like to edit them with the files on the computer as it's faster, and when done we move the whole file to the external HD.
@@onthewaughpath6552 do you record in 4k or 1920x1080? Storage is annoying but external hdds are relatively cheap now as long as you have a good filing system :-)
Fantabulous episode guys 💜💜 Eb, where did you get your hat???
Hi Karen. The hat is a quicksilver one that I bought from a surf store in Agnes Waters about 2 years ago. I probably need a new one given how much it’s been stomped on and bent out of shape. Still goes alright though 😆
