Morning Margie, Ricky and friends, I don't know how many times I've watched this episode and each time I see something new. 🤣Machine mud wrestling, bush bashing and still the ocean found you guys. 😋 Throughout it all everyone seemed so relaxed, so relaxed that the group walk through the tide, one of the lads bought his fishing rod. 🎣🎣😂. Everything looks different in the dark. Just another typical day in the tropics. One thing for sure, no one needed to go the spa for their skin treatment. 🤣😂 I actually missed Ricky falling over and caught it this time. 😂 You say he was hurt though he bounced up like spring action style. The thunderstorm in the background at least gave you some lighting. 🤣 One has to laugh, bet stories will be flowing from this little adventure. 🥰🥰
@@carteblanche1811 good morning Blanch!! 😊 hahaha that is a great way indeed of enjoying the episodes! You do see something you don’t notice before! I had a hoot editing this episode as I had to keep rewinding the bit when Ricky fell over. Funny for us but not for him, hehehe. Thankfully, his ego springs back so quickly too! Haha. Yes, it really helped we had a great bunch of people with us! Harrison who was in the little bike had the most mud pack on his legs and back! Have you seen episode 15? I enjoyed the mud pack on my face! Hahaha. So glad you are having a laugh with us. If this was the purpose of having and sharing this channel, then Ricky and I are so very happy we can share our humour with you 😝 Ep15 Uncovering Ancient Art and Wildlife in Kimberley: Catch, Cook, and Adventure ua-cam.com/video/kCAXM_LuSGA/v-deo.html
@@arnoldhauk7195 HNY to you too!! Yes, we made it safe after all of that!! Haha! It was also fun with the group that we got stuck with. It really made a huge difference with right the perspective of working together and enjoying the moments! Most of our feet are still sore from having to walk barefoot through the mud (and navigating sunken oyster beds or sharp rocks or shells). Ricky sustained a minor head and bottom injury during his fall. But I think it was his ego that hurt the most with me laughing so hard when he fell over. TBH I didn’t know he got hurt, thankfully not so much. 😊 We hope you enjoy the rest of what we share on our channel!! Here’s our curated playlist from the top end of Australia!

@@NicolaConnolly thank you!! The capitalisation and the number of exclamation marks says a lot! We hope you enjoyed it! This episode was very left of centre for us as we weren’t meaning to do any recording this day as it was meant to be for a lazy ride only! 🤣 we also relied on everyone’s recordings in their phones hence the different POV but hopefully told the story that day. Happy new year indeed! Hoping you enjoyed your time away camping too??
@@Hookedonwildventures definitely well captured. Everyone looked calm, I would be freaking out! Oh and camping was delightful, can't complain in wine country hahaa. Our next adventure is a boat house soon. In crab country/waters lol. I will be sure to share the catch and cook with you.
@ thank you!!! A few were freaking out, wanting to walk back in the rising waters ?!?!? Thankfully no one did and we all stayed together. Brock actually walked back to check up on us. His quad bike was safe at the main path, well ahead of us. He was a star walking back and showing us where we should head to. When we lost light, we wouldn’t have had a clue. We started to panic a bit in the bushes. One buggy got a flat tyre and then we had to beat the rising tide. We made it regardless!! Oh!!! I love houseboats!! That will be sooo awesome! Hopefully we can live in one in the Kimberley for a bit! Croc/crab infested waters too? Catch plenty and show us a catch and cook! Cannot wait for it! Haha! Different ways of cooking seafood are always welcome!! 😊
@@Hookedonwildventures Oh I love Brock! What a frickin legend! Oh Margie I am so glad the giant lizards don't live down here, that would be wild and terrifying. I love how you just laugh anyway! hahahaaa Love your work chicka.
@@NicolaConnolly Nicola, oh, yes the giant lizards with big teeth and scaly skin do live there too!!! 😨 there were talks of a 4.5m residing in that part of the flats. We were just glad we didn’t get acquainted at all that evening! Haha My work as a hypnotherapist and working with trauma clients/migrants have been so humbling. I have seen a lot and also been vicariously exposed to. Blake asked why I laugh a lot and I quipped with “isn’t it a great problem to have?” Haha. He agreed. 😊 at another time, my nephew David shared that he wouldn’t ever get lost (in a shopping centre) or elsewhere because all he had to do was to listen to my laughter and he would find his way. My heart melted 🥰😜
I love the camera work on this channel. There's some truly breathtaking drone shots. More than any u highlight the beauty of the ocean and the more Inland sights that most channels tend to overlook. Amazing.
@TheOneHundredPercent awwww thank you so much! You always have kind and amazing words to say! This was the toughest and quickest edit we have ever done as we were intent on getting home safe instead of filming. Thank you so much for loving what we also love!! 🥳🥳🥳
@blakevanheythuysen3407 wild AND wicked for sure!!! It was an awesome experience. Both Ricky and I were impressed with you and your mates! Great mates to be stuck out there with! Hahaha. I hope your feet 👣 recover soon!! Mud pack will soften it all up!! 🤣
Happy new year indeed! We did our best to keep our spirits high despite the many challenges! At one point, we had our quad bike pull out the first buggy pulling the second one out of a bog!
@wwf5409 Thank you for your concern and for taking the time to comment. We deeply respect nature and take our responsibility toward the environment seriously. In this particular instance, we had no choice but to create a path through the mangroves to ensure our safety in a life-threatening situation. We understand the importance of protecting these ecosystems, but it’s worth noting that the tidal exchange and large-scale industrial activities often cause significantly more damage than isolated instances like this. When profits are involved, these issues don’t always receive the same level of scrutiny or concern. We’d truly appreciate your support in holding those larger players accountable, as their impact on these environments is far more extensive and long-lasting. Thank you for raising this point and for your passion for preserving nature-it’s something we share wholeheartedly.
I don't know if you have lived up in the Kimberleys or in the tropics around Darwin, but in situations like this the landowners would be happy that they all got out without someone coming to rescue them or even something more dire. The tides up this way come in fast and anyone can get caught as it will go around you and you can't see it. After storms the tide will change directions due to the rain and the wind. The mangrove trees are pretty hardy and will grown back. As a landowner with similar landscape as this, I'm happy that they collectively remained calm and found a way out. I live up in the Kimberleys and I know the type of people you are referring too. It's not the landscape below the sand dunes, it's where they roll over the sand dunes and damage the grasses growing along it. They don't make one track they make several. I do hear you though. The type of people you are referring are a very small percentage of the many that respect the land and do the right thing.

Happy new year indeed! We did our best to keep our spirits high despite the many challenges! At one point, we had our quad bike pull out the first buggy pulling the second one out of a bog!
Environmental vandalism
More and more landowners are closing off access to land for these reasons.
