Agree with lots of the other comments Harrison is a great young man and so good to have King Billy there with you. I’m sure there were lots of mixed feelings as you all said goodbye. Great episode.
Stunning location and I figure Laura, the video wouldn’t be up, if you had a crocodile 🐊 encounter 😬 but by geez I felt really nervous watching. Be careful, they move so very quick, you’d never have a chance. Can’t wait to see NT. Harrison & King Billy are a delight and what a stellar young man he’s becoming. So how much was a full service? Did he say why the tyre was doing what it was? Love hearing that what the forward thinking caravan owners did for you. With Virgin soon allowing dogs to travel on planes, businesses have to move with the times. One in three Australians have dogs that are part of the family. Good on that place and we will be sure to stay there when we travel to Broome. Have a great week guys. Alexandra King Island❤
Hi Alexandra, Yes, very true 😆. We were reasonably confident when we saw locals swimming in the area. Although you just never know. You're right. More and more companies are allowing dogs, which is such a great result. We don't believe the first wheel alignment was done correctly, unfortunately. The guys in Broome were amazing. They gave the van a full service and wheel alignment for under $500. The van hasn't missed a beat since 🥰
Hi Laura and Troy and gorgeous Coco You are doing a very similar route to what we did some yrs ago. We had a semi off road van, no solar and untill we got to Darwin we had no genie either which in turn meant no washing machine or AC till we got 240 power. I needed to get sheets washed and a load of clothing. Due to the heat this lead to me needing AC for my then 3 yr old to sleep and for me to not go mad. We stayed at Fitzroy River and it was beautiful, then we went on to Halls Creek and opted for staying at the caravan park. We had an older little dog. Although we were told not to leave anything out overnight, hubby forgot to bring in the esky, it had ice, water bottles and Cans of lemonade (Tarax black lable lemonade) Early hours of the morning around 2.30 am I was woken with my husband yelling profanity out the window, telling whome ever was there to.leave. then I heard glass breaking and a woman screaming. We were outside and seen some "local" youths running away. Our car had been broken into, the esky was in another caravan site missing a few Cans and some bottled water. It was still dark. The couple camping nearby were sleeping in the back of their vehicle as the towed a big boat. Someone had smashed the front passenger window and snatched her handbag. Police were called and once they arrived, they said they possibly know who was responsible as it was likely a local lad and his mates/gang/mob but not being able to prove it. They said the kids would be back most likely once police left. I was asked to search my car to find out what was stolen. Wifi device, prescription sunglasses, cold and flu tablets, some water and lemonade Cans (police said that in the rush the lemonade would of been mistaken for bourbon and coke as it was a similar can) 1 unopened packet of sanitary pads, lady police officer said they use pads and baby nappies to put petrol on it and sniff it. The chemicals in the pads and nappies give a high for longer its a common item stolen. They missed the case of beer in the back I think they were disturbed before getting that far back. We left just before 5.30am not wanting to go back to bed. The police said it was very common as they knew tourists were easy targets. We count ourselves so lucky for almost no damage, side window weathersheild was broken and needed replacing and because the window was forced down the electric windows control needed replacing. When we got to Darwin we got it fixed and I was told the nick name for Halls Creek is hells Creek. If you do stay at Halls Creek or anywhere around there please be diligent and double check everything is locked up and put away
Holly Molely! That sounds like an absolute horror experience! Wow! I’m so glad there wasn’t too much damage and you & hubby weren’t hurt. It turns out that we didn’t and up going there and sounds like that was the right decision.
Don't know why i like watching, but i guess it's just because you are just living it. Love the reality and the effort of just doing. Keyword's... doing.. living.
Great content gang been watching for a while now I remember staying in Exmouth 25 years ago and all the caravans were chained down!!yo should go to Daly river pub and stay that’s where I caught my 6 kg Barra!they also had a pet croc called Boris🤣👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hey Brant, thanks for following along 😊. Yeah, they don't offer the strap down service anymore. Unfortunately, the caravan parks kick you out now. It's a public liability nightmare for the parks. Woowee, that's a bloody great catch 👏 👌 🎣
I would have thought the Box Jelly fish and Irukandji were also an issue up that way? Not just Crocs. It seems people are more concerned about the inland crocs in waterholes, creeks and rivers rather than the coast where there is more ability to avoid them due to wide open spaces. Crocs seem territorial.
Would of been Labour Day long weekend in WA for that long weekend your referring to. Love Broome great spot your brave swimming in ocean. Enjoy your travels.
How does the Van tow now. And did they say what was the problem with the camber of the van, did the camber bolt come loose, 🙈🤷♂️ , the crocodiles 🐊 must be such a big worry the further you go north. Take care 😎🍺🍹
Mate go to the bunnos and grab yourself a cord winder for ur starlink. The orange one. Mine was like yours those need cables fail and shit when not sorted properly and it just keeps it so much tidier. Only cost a few dollars
Did they tell you about stone fish up there? We walked into the little lake just north of Denham & then they told us there was stonefish in there & there was warning signs out.
Just a tip with washing machines as I work at a laundromat with similar machines. It’s better to put pods inside machine, as coating doesn’t always breakdown in drawer. Also just another thing…always take paper towel and something to disinfect as it’s amazing how disgusting people can be when it’s not their own !!
Ahh thank you, good to know about the pods. And yes, great idea about the washing machines. Luckily it was the off season so there wasn’t anyone there when we went.
How frig’n stunning is Broome and Cable Beach. I suppose with regards to the muddy like sand, in one point that sand is how old???🤔🤔🤔 and doesn’t get replenished like at a more populated and used beach nor is it like port Phillip bay or western port ( which is not a bay as it’s got 2 entrances and exits, a bay only has one entrance and exit ). There’s something wrong with some caravan parks, as you said that c/p doesn’t have pet friendly cabins, they probably only need 1 or 2. It’s great they “ came to the party “ letting you stay in the cabin with Coco, you shouldn’t have had to use the pool being out of action, just to get the cabin, how “ petty are they?? “. Be careful at Fitzroy Crossing, as far as I know that river is full of “ snapping handbags🐊🐊 “…..🤔🤪😜😂. You need to throw a party 🎉🍷🍺🥂🥃🎉 when you cross the border into the NT. Safe travels as it’s now just the 3 of you.
Yes interesting about the sand and something we’re not used to in the southern states. Hopefully the caravan park will get some pet friendly cabins across the line soon. We didn’t end up going to Fitzroy Crossing but you’ll find out more about that on the next episode.
I loved watching while KB and H where with you. I have to admit I shed a tear our two while you were saying goodbye!
Awww 😍. it's not long before they're back with us ❤️
Agree with lots of the other comments Harrison is a great young man and so good to have King Billy there with you. I’m sure there were lots of mixed feelings as you all said goodbye. Great episode.
Awww, thank you, Karen, for your kind comments 😊 🙏 ❤️
Great episode, guys.
Harrison is a lovely young man!!
King Billy is great man.
Aww, thank you, Robyn 😊 🙏

the full service was under 500 great value

I must admit I had a tear in my eye when H and King Billy left. It’s been great having them on tour with you both.
Awww, thank you 😊 🙏,

Awesome ep. Love the charcuterie board. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching, guys 🍻
Beautiful drone work & scenery. I too would be worried about crocs. Great to see all the family having fun. Safe travels.
Thank you, Terry 😊 🙏
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Love your videos. Have fun & safe travels 🥰
Thanks, guys. we appreciate your support 🙏 ❤️
Don't know why i like watching, but i guess it's just because you are just living it. Love the reality and the effort of just doing. Keyword's... doing.. living.
Perfectly said. We ask ourselves the same question at times 😆. Hopefully, we showcase the reality of travelling 👍
Great content gang been watching for a while now I remember staying in Exmouth 25 years ago and all the caravans were chained down!!yo should go to Daly river pub and stay that’s where I caught my 6 kg Barra!they also had a pet croc called Boris🤣👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

Woowee, that's a bloody great catch 👏 👌 🎣
19:33 I’m with you Laura, I’d be much happier in the lagoon pool not worrying about Crocs!
It felt so much better being back at the resort pool!
Fine to swim. Crocs like fish. Troy is there. Therefore no fish. Case closed 👍
😄 very true 🍻
Ha ha ha
I would have thought the Box Jelly fish and Irukandji were also an issue up that way? Not just Crocs. It seems people are more concerned about the inland crocs in waterholes, creeks and rivers rather than the coast where there is more ability to avoid them due to wide open spaces. Crocs seem territorial.
That’s true too. Didn’t see any jelly fish but the shark got me worried.
Coconut Wells is a great place to go at low tied, and as the tied rushes in, you sit in a float ride to tied in
Ahh is that how you’re supposed to do it… we were just told to go at high tide.
Would of been Labour Day long weekend in WA for that long weekend your referring to. Love Broome great spot your brave swimming in ocean. Enjoy your travels.
Yep, it certainly was. Broome is such a beautiful area 😍
How does the Van tow now. And did they say what was the problem with the camber of the van, did the camber bolt come loose, 🙈🤷♂️ , the crocodiles 🐊 must be such a big worry the further you go north.
Take care 😎🍺🍹
Hey Paul, yep, the bolts weren't torqued properly, unfortunately 😕. Luckily, we came across the problem quickly 👍
A nice vid guys.
Thanks Ian 🍻 😊
🤣🤣 who threw the coaster...my hubby used to do that ..its an oldie but a goldie. safe travels ,stay cool xx
😆, Harrison gets a good laugh at that old joke 🥰
Love ya work guys but that camera ya using is a shocker.
Gopro 10. When they get wet, the quality drops, unfortunately 😕
Mate go to the bunnos and grab yourself a cord winder for ur starlink. The orange one. Mine was like yours those need cables fail and shit when not sorted properly and it just keeps it so much tidier. Only cost a few dollars
Ahh cheers Roger thanks for sharing 👍
23:53 Nice work H! I’d tuck in to that no worries.
Cheers, Tim, it was delicious 😋
Did they tell you about stone fish up there? We walked into the little lake just north of Denham & then they told us there was stonefish in there & there was warning signs out.
No, they didn't 😳. Thank christ we didn't step on one 🙏

Great episode, may I ask what caravan park you were at in Broome. Looks great.
Thank you, We stayed at Discovery Parks Broome. it's a beautiful park.
So brave going north in the hottest summer in decades! Coco is adorable she is aGiant vizla I thought she was a gsp cross for sure....

Love ya blog guys,where did King Billie get the kabab forks we saw on recent blog,big 3 pronged forks.We caravan around New Zealand
