Now this a real representation of every trip we have done, its never perfect but always memorable. Chasing spots to camp and avoiding getting bogged. Good times, locke down here in Melbourne, missed ours now camping trip, frothing now,,,,frothing!! Thanks again, great viewing
The missus and I lived In Denham for a year before COVID, working in the caravan park, what an amazing part of the country it is! Brings back so many awesome memories! GET ME BACK!!!
Wow! Awesome tracks and scenery. Really great production work and music selection. What a way to enjoy my Sunday morning coffee. Thanks for what you do, lovin it.
Another awesome vid Matt. I paddled past there years ago with some brave mates. We paddled the whole Ningaloo coast, ending in Exmouth. This brought back great memories. Enjoy mate, most of the population in lockdown, you timed it perfectly.
This makes me want to hit the road again!! That part of the west coast is pretty speccy. The track out to Steep Point is gnarly, but it’s so worth the trip. Awesome ep once again 👍🏼
Absolutely stunning Matty! So jealous, as a fellow qlder this is my dream spot. Hopefully will get our there one day. You should do a short clip on what it's like to solo trip and give out some advice for those of us who are thinking of doing it. Cheers.
congrats Matt envious to having done all four! Steep Point is a great place, went there a few times while my parents were based at Useless Loop(closed town). Special area for me, magic place. You will find when its busy people have geny's on back of trailers, i mean full trailer geny's, next level. Great place
Was there about a month ago. Corrugations were horrendous on the way in, (far worse than anything the gibb had to offer), but on the way back out they had just graded it so it was like a highway. Win some you loose some 😂
Good enough description for the balloon fishing 😅 the shark population there makes the fishing pretty touch and go, still one of my favourite spots, the corrugations on dirk hartog are 50x worse
100% the worst road in Australia to steep point. Took me 8 hours coming out of there in the Troopy. Was just so bloody over the corrugations I sat in low range first gear the whole way 😂
Yeow, I’m a Perth boy and we book up step point and dirk hartog every year for 10-12 days for the fishing, so glad you got to experience this amazing place. It’s hard on the 4bi hahah
Lol East coasters have no idea how amazing w.a is.. if corrugations are your worst complaint... proof in the pudding. Our beaches and sundowners are amazing
Such a good spot. Camped at South Gregories in April (had to leave when the cyclone came through). Would go back tomorrow. best spot once you are through the soft section! Looking forward to the next Ep. Hope you got to the Artesian hot tub at the homestead at the entrance to the national park!
Good choice not to go to Gregory's I think Surprised you made it to Herald Bight with the van! When we went into Francois Peron NP all the tracks around Gregory's were super super soft!
Would love to see more off the track. We tryed the track in 2012 on our way arround aussi. But the entry was that soft sand that I turned arround. That was to risky on our own. But the road to there was baaad baaad korrogated back then as well.
The Hummer and some other commercial vehicles have self inflating/deflating the systems. I wonder if they are able to be fitted to any other off-road vehicle ?
Mate, you pump me up so much for my own trip..... for god sake use up the real estate of your back window! get an explore life sticker up there!! Ey two questions! what internet brand and device have you found to be working while you travel and where did ya get the drink holder for your door??
Back in the 80s & 90s Steep Point was a hard access. Before the causeway was put in it was 3 hours through big sandhills tracks like the long Tin Hill. Now to easy and every Tom Dick and Harry pillage the place. No toilets or shelter so if you got badly hurt it was a airlift out. The big sandhill near backing onto the drop off affectionatly known as Shit Hill, has the best view while going to toilet on the old milk crate with a toilet seat cable tied to it. Lol, those were the days
Mate absolutely loving the content. WA sure is turning it up! Btw curious how you fly the drone while you are driving? Feel like I wouldn't be able to multi-task that haha.
The corrugations on dirk hartog island make those going to steep point a carpet ride Go there and have a crack. And make sure yr car is fully serviced with spares. Brake booster bottles. Suspension. Crap - just breaks
Mate that road out to point peron is absolutely hectic, took my boat up it and im amazed it made it back with the outboard still hanging off the back. A big camper is next level
OMG, I can't believe you went all the way out to Steep Point, didn't take your camper and didn't stay 2, 3 or even 4 days at the awesome spot, what's the hurry.
@@Australiacalling i took my 16ft boat the entire way to the cliffs a month ago. And was also there at the start of the year. The weather and fishing is amazing all year round up there but summer us definitely the time to go up. Best time for ballooning there is whenever the wind is blowing southerly.
Kills me seeing you drag that van and how annoying it is. Vans are for families or someone who wants to stay in one spot. Enjoying the vid because I've been to all these spots but your timing and lack of preparation is taking the gloss off some epic places. Marty from Perth
Hey Mate, I enjoy watching your videos but don’t tip shit on people who are all ready on their camp spot and you want them to move from you because you’re got a camper!!! Not Cool.. and then say your going to go to squeeze on someone else camp spot and crowd there neighbours!. Keep it real mate and respect..... Keep the vids coming. Cheers
Mate the bloke was behind us rushed us on the beach and we got bogged 😂 so I’ll just say it how it is. Plenty of beach all to share. We also didn’t share spots we waiting till the next morning and drove in 🤙
I’m sorry for being negative but I watch all your vids and I think that there is a lot of fake content on how you actually rate that joint be honest ,so many people are influenced by you and I can only say that steep point and that part of the coAst is crap and damaging your assets for a photo opportunity is stupid and misleading to your fellow followers , be real get up to Exmouth where is is awesome, don’t get me wrong but be real
Well your wrong mate I only tell the truth and it’s epic out there! I wish I stayed for a few nights! Each to there own mate but I’m as organic as it comes if I don’t like it I’ll tell ya!
Now this a real representation of every trip we have done, its never perfect but always memorable. Chasing spots to camp and avoiding getting bogged. Good times, locke down here in Melbourne, missed ours now camping trip, frothing now,,,,frothing!! Thanks again, great viewing

Epic mate 👌👌
That sounds like and awesome adventure!

Awesome ep once again 👍🏼
Look forward to these every week. The wife and I are looking doing the lap now
Haha!! Herald Bight's a stunning beach, should have given it a chance. Me and my partner stayed their on the beach for 2weeks.
Absolutely stunning Matty! So jealous, as a fellow qlder this is my dream spot. Hopefully will get our there one day.
You should do a short clip on what it's like to solo trip and give out some advice for those of us who are thinking of doing it.
Cheers.
thanks for the feedback mate will definitely consider this!
We used to fish greencape NSW, off the rocks using the balloon method. We fished Yellowfin, Albacore, bonito and hooked a blue Marlin once.
Once again youve killed it bro.Perfect way to reoax on a Sunday ans get motivated for the week 👌👌
love hearing that mate!

Almost 30yrs ago when I was there, magical then.
Welcome to the wild west mate. The sand is always welcoming! 8psi is your friend.
Just watched On The Waugh Path and saw you in the background :):):) great location
Was there about a month ago. Corrugations were horrendous on the way in, (far worse than anything the gibb had to offer), but on the way back out they had just graded it so it was like a highway. Win some you loose some 😂
Living the life matty. Love to get myself over to check out the west coast. 👊
Good enough description for the balloon fishing 😅 the shark population there makes the fishing pretty touch and go, still one of my favourite spots, the corrugations on dirk hartog are 50x worse
WOW!!...... Awesome places and an awesome episode Matt, killin it!

Great episode enjoyed all of it
Another great episode Matt. Just one thing, still not sure what you REALLY think of corrugated tracks 😂 don’t hold back, let us know!!
Yeewww🤙🏼
gotta love them aye
We normally just call it balloon fishing. Its well known around WA, its gear intensive though.
Pretty good description, steep point and quobba station are the main hotspots for ballooning. Decent investment to get into tho
24psi and 80kph max smooths things out nicely.
Squid everywhere at big lagoon. Ripper spot!
Cool places....reminds me of time I was out there and I live right near Denham UK
Did a day trip from Denham out to Cape Peron. The two Lagoons were busy with campers
Good choice not to go to Gregory's I think Surprised you made it to Herald Bight with the van! When we went into Francois Peron NP all the tracks around Gregory's were super super soft!
so good mate, definitely was an adventure
Would love to see more off the track. We tryed the track in 2012 on our way arround aussi. But the entry was that soft sand that I turned arround. That was to risky on our own. But the road to there was baaad baaad korrogated back then as well.
great ep
Worth the trip inland to Karijini when your up that way drone footage through those gorges would be epic
The Hummer and some other commercial vehicles have self inflating/deflating the systems. I wonder if they are able to be fitted to any other off-road vehicle ?
Yes where is Jess? Is she able to join you any time soon with lockdowns going on. Enjoyed you vid 😄
Better with out Jess 👍
We broke up sorry team
All good old mate we loving your content and meeting other travellers 👍
Can’t wait to next week Matty
@@theexplorelife , sorry to hear.
@@theexplorelife Chin up big horse you make the channel what it is and what we all love to watch
Another great video again Matt 🍻
u mention u did all four points of Oz which video is the the of the southern point wilson prom
So cool….what an adventure!!!!
I just got a Landcruiser Prado….getting mods fitted so I can do this!!!
How big is the van you are pulling?
14ft mate!
Ripper episode again! How good was that drone footage on dusk!
Mate, you pump me up so much for my own trip..... for god sake use up the real estate of your back window! get an explore life sticker up there!! Ey two questions! what internet brand and device have you found to be working while you travel and where did ya get the drink holder for your door??
So good, awesome vid.
Let’s go!! Fishing episode next week!!
Another good ep, cheers Matt.
Quick question, what’s the brand of your phone holder in the vehicle?
Yeeoww 👌

Oh I miss WA!! Can't wait to get back over there when borders open up..
Head to Ocean Park Aquarium just out of Denham and say gday to the team out there!
Mate absolutely loving the content. WA sure is turning it up! Btw curious how you fly the drone while you are driving? Feel like I wouldn't be able to multi-task that haha.
if he is using DJI stuff, I assume he is - you can set to auto follow and pre-set flight routes on the screen. That's how I do it for my vid's.
Ahh that's epic! Had no idea how bloody capable drones are these days. Btw the content looks awesome mate!
I still need to figure out how to do that with my drone, auto follow and/or preset route....
Look forward to the videos. Great job. Are you going to keep travelling on your own or is the girl friend going to join you
Got nav joining me again for the kimberley region
Unreal stuff mate! Great work. What is the go with the two antennas on the truck? Are they both 2.1dbi? How do you find the GME? Thanks
Ones celfi mate! Love GME hands down best UHF I’ve used 🤙
Steep Point - Not Pilchards but Garfish used as bait. You got the rest right.
Unreal video mate! What holder do you use for your LINX mate? The standard one it comes with is pretty average whatever you use looks solid! Cheers
awesome Matt
You need wratchet spanners for putting the boat trailer together.
Yeah buddy first comment!!
Great videos!
The corrugations on dirk hartog island make those going to steep point a carpet ride
Go there and have a crack. And make sure yr car is fully serviced with spares. Brake booster bottles. Suspension. Crap - just breaks
Awsome vid. Only done Tamala stn, Denham and Monkey Mia. The rest looks amazing
Hey mate, should do a collab with Brodie of Youngbloods while you're in WA, I believe he's in Exmouth near where you are.
1-10 how bad are the corrigation at steep point How fast could ya go? I remember some down south it was 20-30kmph max! They were insanely bad
one of the worst roads ever i reckon
Yewwwwwwww 🤙
Think I better cash my long service in, you need a travel buddy. 🤙
I love that intro
Get out and enjoy the explore life, NSW gov says no.. 😑 thanks for getting a lot of us thru this lockdown crap..
Yep steep point road is pretty bad was there about a month ago.
Cheers for the hook up champ I’m heading up 27aug can’t wait also can I ask what at your wearing cheers
Should invest in some rachet spanners, so much quicker 👌
Mate that road out to point peron is absolutely hectic, took my boat up it and im amazed it made it back with the outboard still hanging off the back. A big camper is next level
Epic mate, a big boat up there would be sick
Do ya ever get nervous flying the drone over open water or off cliffs. Id be nervous of the drone malfunctioning and dropping to its death haha.
gotta get the shot!
Are you going to do a episode with Brodie moss since your in WA ?
he wasn't keen
How good is Francois Peron, west coast of WA yeeswwww
There is no sweet spot sometimes
Mint vid as always mate
👍👍👍
Mattte i live there ie useless loop thetes heaps more to see and i couldve taken up dhi and put u in the water spearing
Check out Dixon’s fishing channel Matt pretty sure that’s who was there
OMG, I can't believe you went all the way out to Steep Point, didn't take your camper and didn't stay 2, 3 or even 4 days at the awesome spot, what's the hurry.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was booked out for camping. Was up there a month ago myself and its hectic atm
He's got a few deadlines to make, he said he'll be back again soon after
@@walkabout_adventures I agree deadlines are a bugger, but planning to go there myself soon.
@@michaelray909 I agree very popular location, did you tow and camper or caravan in, did you like it and how was the weather and fishing.
@@Australiacalling i took my 16ft boat the entire way to the cliffs a month ago. And was also there at the start of the year. The weather and fishing is amazing all year round up there but summer us definitely the time to go up. Best time for ballooning there is whenever the wind is blowing southerly.

cheers for the feedback mate will keep in mind
When is Jess coming back on the adventure
Hot tub is a must at night with Beers
1st view me 👍
If you hate brutal corrugations then don’t ever do the Anne Beadell Highway
I have heard the Anne Beadell is brutal, sill want to get out there
@@4weeksleave yeah definitely do it, it is a awesome track 🤙
Lol
Five minutes at Steep Point and you’ve ‘done’ it hahaha
definitely coming back!
There is no way you got bogged on Herald Bight, legit the easiest beach to drive on HAHAHA
rookie hahah
Lucky it’s not a bloody Nissan 😂.
Things Toyota drivers say as they pull out bogged Toyota’s .. patrol wouldn’t get bogged aye baker 😛
So many people asking the big question
Where is Jess. ?
Are you and Jess done 😔
Yeh mate unfortunately we are not together anymore. Just good friends

Hey Mate, I enjoy watching your videos but don’t tip shit on people who are all ready on their camp spot and you want them to move from you because you’re got a camper!!! Not Cool..
and then say your going to go to squeeze on someone else camp spot and crowd there neighbours!.
Keep it real mate and respect.....
Keep the vids coming.
Cheers
Mate the bloke was behind us rushed us on the beach and we got bogged 😂 so I’ll just say it how it is. Plenty of beach all to share. We also didn’t share spots we waiting till the next morning and drove in 🤙
Off - Off
Off - Awf
🤷♂️
Wheres the Mrs?
That's what I was thinking
He said they broke up
Probably flying helicopters.
oh boy im tired of music with snapping fingers in it
As a viewer do I get told the truth about where the blond disappeared to.
We have decided to just be friends mate I will be solo and travelling with Nav for the rest of the year.
@@theexplorelife thank you for your honest reply cheers have a good one
Why didn't you just stay in rooftop?
camping booked out
@@theexplorelife fair enough👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
where is the bride mate
Where's Jess
Yu save limed the fishing and not describe it. Seems like 90 % of you footage is of you talking behind the wheel🤔🥴
