This is Episode 14 of the series and we will be exploring the stretch between Karratha & Port Hedland in WA.
These 2 towns are known as the Powerhouse of the Pilbara because of the mining industry and shipping ports located here, but because of their location they also have some amazing landscapes and scenery to discover and what better way to do it than in your van!!

I grew up in the Pilbara (Tom Price) from 1968 to 1985. Mum used to pack up the esky, Dad would come off his last day shift and we were off to Hamersley Gorge. We would jump out of the car, run down for a swim, jump off the rocks and slide down the waterfalls then run back up the top for dinner. We would sleep all the way home... fantastic! As kids we were so fortunate with the many, many incredible experiences we had camping at all the gorges, Millstream, Wittenoom etc.
I absolutely love your channel!!! I look forward to your next episode :-)
Vena Loudon this sounds like the best thing ever as a kid!!!! We love Hammersley gorge, our favourite in Karijini 🤘
Love your trip, we travelled around in an old toyota hiace with our son Spencer when he was two years old, 2001 getting him back for school at Avalon beach aged five, to see you doing the same trip with three kids is awsome. love your missus saying , ( i didn't know that.) is classic, My wife retires this year and we are planning another trip in our small delica 4x4 heading from Sydney ( Avalon Beach ) to Mount Isa , Darwin and then West the way you are going, thanks for your amazing videos and your beautiful family, never know we may cross paths some day. Bob and Barbara.🤠🚐
I left western Australia 20yrs ago to return to the UK . Your travels make me think ? Why would I do that !!!!!!!! Sitting writing this listening to the wind and rain battering the house !!!
Ian Alexander I dunno how you do it mate!! Love the weather over here💪
Thanks for visiting the Pilbara and especially Port Hedland where i live. There is so many fantastic thing to see here.
Re Mattress Options.Check Gumtree or Facebook marketplace for a secondhand Tempur mattress. You can cut them to size easily with a large serrated knife. Best thing I’ve ever done. Picked up a queen for $300.
Hey Justin & Bec, my wife and I have really been enjoying your videos so much that we are looking to buy our 4th caravan and getting back on the road after nearly 5 years. Keep up the good work, we are getting some great ideas on places to visit and set up of the van.
Gregory James this is so great to hear!!! Glad you are loving the vids guys, we might see you on the road soon ✌️✌️
Watching your shows from Thailand
Spent two years caravaning around Australia keep up the good work and enjoy yourselves
stephenwilmott59 cheers mate, glad your enjoying them🤘
Great to see young Jack doing some filming and cometary, when we stayed at Port Hedland we had metal tie downs under the caravan in one of the parks so in a cyclone they tie the van down to stop it blowing away. Looking forward to the next one, very very special place in Australia. Thanks guys.
TheRaimo they had those tie downs in the slab sites at Karratha! Crazy!!!
Guys i want you to know we love your channel and content. Justin your growing in confidence and the humor makes it all the better. Bec your smashing it being your super cool natural self.

Hope you family of legends take the 89km trip from Tom Price to Paraburdoo, great place with heaps of waterholes, howies hole , Kelly’s pool. And then radio hill is another good highlight
Love your videos. I sit with the road atlas on the desk looking for each place you visit - I have learnt sooo much. Thanks.
Bruce Heid great to hear your enjoying them mate! Cheers for watching✌️
Your videos are such a great resource and at the same time very entertaining. Nice to have Bec and the kids. Most 4WD and fishing shows are very blokey. Just watching this one for ideas on any spots between Pt Headland and Exmouth on the main Hwy. Definitely will give Cleaverville Beach a miss. Thanks for the heads up.
Michelle Preston cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it
The Endless Beach Fronts... OMG so cool.
We loved seeing the kids at the start and end.
Thanks for sharing your family 💕💕💕
Amanda Wall oh thankyou
@@TripInAVan
We have 5 kids and my husband says there has to be times with your kids being ferral. Our youngest is 16 so we get away a few night without them now.
Keep up the awesome videos.
Just discovered your channel and I’m loving it. Can’t wait to get back to the North West of WA. In the meantime, your videos are the next best thing to being there.
Phil Ridley Adventures thanks for watching mate🤘Glad you like the vids

I Have looked back through and just can't see where you said...maybe man fridge eyes...ps. Keep going , have great time and keep these vids coming best thing on tv on a Sunday with a wine and cold beer.. All the best
Daryl Neit thanks mate!! I put the link in the vid description for the fireplace, the brand is RedRoads
Thankyou
Hi guys,
I just wanted to tell you how awesome your content is.
I’ve been producing my own 4x4 UA-cam channel for a few months now and I know how much work goes in behind the scenes.
Your content is bloody brilliant and I love watching it.
Keep up the great work and safe travels.
Mywayoffthehwy cheers man! Glad your enjoying it🤙
Great vid !! .. and that Jack .. he's growing up so quick and what a dag ..lol
Roll on 2020 ... all set and reddy to go !!!
Shaun Oakes he is a deadset dag😂😂😂
Awesome loved it live in Ktown so good to see people loving the Pilbara hope Karajini is good for you rain has been a bit shit the last couple of years
Troy Scolari thanks mate! Karijini was awesome! Just putting the vid together now👍
More great footage, and more memories for me been to all those places, and kids so funny with the tooth WOW !!!Looking forward to the next video.
Leslie Stevenson oh thankyou!! Fun trip this one✌️
Another great video. Best tubers to follow by a long way. Try a memory foam topper for your mattress we use one it’s fantastic.
Vern P cheers mate!!!!! Glad you enjoyed it🤘
You’re kids will never forget this life experience. Good onya, good stuff.
Ronald White cheers mate! They’ll have loads to look back on✌️
Really enjoyed this episode... looks like you guys are having a ball!
RVTV by RV Warehouse loving it mate, cheers🤘
Fantastic videos guys! We love them. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Samuel del Pino Martin thanks bud, cheers for your support hey🤙
I didnt see a jetty at Port Sampson. There used to be a fish and chip shop at the start of the jetty. Went out some way and you could catch almost anything off it. There was a big hammer head sharp called whiskers due to all the trace wires hanging out his mouth LOL. I should mention this was in the late 70's early 80's.
Super drone footage again!!
Loving your trip and vids! The kids are bloody awesome
Scott troyahn cheers mate, thanks for the support✌️
Looks beautiful outside I also did a road trip which I did a Vlog, but weather looks fabulous, it is worth escaping Perth for the Pilbara during winter or any time of the year for a holiday, also apparently quite liveable
Baby oil is great of drowning sandflies mate. It's really good for your skin too, unlike chemical sprays. We used to mix Dettol and baby oil (4:1 oil/dettol) for sandflies and mosquitoes when we lived at McLeay island. Bloody sandflies were killer there!
Darth KegRaider thanks mate, I’ll do that hey.
The kids at the end ahaha so cute!!
The railway service road was the route to Mill Stream back in the day. I cannot believe how much the area has changed since I was up there.
i remember camping on the river as a kid, probably not aloud to do that anymore.
Yea, same. I am surprised they didn’t show more. Missed a bit. Did see the ore coming in on the rail line to Dampier plant or the lookout built for the Queen built back 70’s.
There’s a lot more to Karratha and the Point Sampson area. Seems to pass straight through. My next trip I will spend a week around there. Wonder they will stop at Whim Creek
Great content again! WA looks amazing 👌 I was wondering about some info on your weights of the car, canopy and van etc.
I recall seeing somewhere you’ve got a GVM/GCM upgrade?
With the canopy and towball weight do you still come in under?
Was also wondering if you notice the increased weight now with the full Offroad van and what it weighs?
Cheers legends 🤙
Kyle Denton hey mate, sorry for the late reply I’ve only just seen your question 👍 we do have a gvm/gcm upgrade from Lovell’s that is 3500/7000kg.
The van ATM is 3200kg with a ball weight of 165kg.
The Ute as we travel is 3320 so we just come in under the gvm but we are still 300 under gcm.
We haven’t noticed any difference in having an Offroad van no. The Willow is still relatively light compared to a lot of other Offroad brands.
Trip In A Van - RoadTrip Australia Series awesome guys! Thanks heaps for the reply. Sounds like you’ve got it all sorted 👍
Another great vid, cheers... Eco Marine matreess are worth every penny the main seliing points are; They are lite weight and have amazing air flow for moisture prevention and cooler nights. They are expensive but they are seriously that comfy you will likely take it from the van to the house. I belive they are a big deal in Europe. mine cost $2800
Byron Willoughby cheers for the tip🤘
They're called moring lines, have seen one snap up close 15metres away, and you're correct the two diff colours on the side of the ship when fully loaded you'll only see 1 something that big will probably be around 13 metres under water
Another great video guys, love it... Keep on driving....😀😀
B Mon thanks so much!! Glad u enjoyed it🤙
Thanks for another enjoyable vid Jus n Bec. Jacko' s presenting skills are coming along too 😀. How's the BT50 going Justin - no issues? Have you beefed up the suspension as well as adding the airbags?
Mark Gardiner cheers mate, yep we have an upgraded gvm/gcm from Lovell’s. BT is killing it 💪
A lovely family and an awesome video, thanks for taking us along with you.
Greg Hall thankyou!!!🙌
My niece loads those ships in Port H. Great to see Hedland again, we should be there next year.
809klglklgl what a sweet job!!!💪
Good stuff guys, I cant wait till we get our van and start doing this. Cheers Steve
Mudduck's 4wd Touring cheers bud!! We’ll seeya our there

Peter Austin thanks mate 🤘
Very good info on the free camps,heading up north next year, keep up the good work
tony findlay cheers mate🤙
Another great video. Can’t wait for the next one
Wally Beilken thankyou!!!!🙌
Looking forward to seeing your Karijini adventures! As a local the only thing that annoys me about people free camping is the amount of rubbish and toilet paper you see in the Bush 😞
Too right. I use water instead of toilet paper. It's not only cleaner for your nether regions, but it's cleaner for the environment too.
Great stuff again you guys ,love the commentry from the kids too .
Phil Lambert 😂little legends
Mate. Again love your show. Mattress, get the eggshell mattress topper, cheap as. One made the difference fos us other people got 2. Just a suggestion. Cheers big ears 👍👍👍
michael seal thanks bro🤘
As usual just bloody fantastic episode and wakey wake Bec lol
Paul Berry 😂😂cheers mate
Gotta say your music is always on point.
Luke Dennehy cheers mate👍
Midgees got us last night at Settlers beach. Lovely spot tho. We have put an eggshell on the mattress, then a padded overlay, comfy
Noela Mulcahy bloody midgees
These videos make me so happy.
Cliff and Howie awesome!!!
Thanks so much guys , I’m sick in my Donga at work around 40 kms north west of Tom Price . You’ve cheered me up 😀 Loving Jacks commentary, good work mate 👍
We got an adjustamattress. It vibrates and head and foot part goes up and down best money we ever spent.
Great video guys. The kids in the background doing some native dance.
Joanne Wilson crazy ferals
Hey guys.
These videos of the Pilbara are great. I miss that area. So unique.
If you get a chance, head to a place called Running waters (21º 41' 3.99" S 121º 07' 24.95" E) it’s out from marble bar. Beautiful spot.
Also, I’m sure it’s changed but the iron clad hotel in MB makes the best steak burger in the norwest. When I went there, a real long time ago - the bar was so well used that you could carve your name into it using your finger nail. They didn’t care either
Have a good trip.
Nice video guys i spent the first half of my life in point Samson ,wickham and cossack and my humble opinion point samson and cossack are the only towns in the pilbara that have not been ruined by mining,also love millstream and python pool.
dhiquobgnaloo great places to explore💪
Hey, Really enjoyed the content so far.. you guys have inspired myself and the family ( including our beagle) to head over from Victoria for 3 months from October and travel up to Exmouth. Keep the content coming and we might see you on the road. :-)
Tezza great to hear mate!!!! It’s an epic RoadTrip!! We just might catch ya somewhere on the road mate 🤘
Awesome guys good traveling.
Dreams..for love thanks mate🤘
Another epic video guys … tell me do you have to worry about snakes I know down in Perth they hibernate … but being in tropics are they active now ?
Gary Ezard we are careful, I’m sure they are around but we make a fair bit of noise with 3 kids so I think they steer clear✌️
Happy Fathers Day Justin. 😀👍
Brad thanks mate
Awesome shows guys I really like watching them
Stephen Dimech great to hear mate!! Thanks for the support💪
I got attack by midges big time a couple of weeks ago camping at Maitland River (near Karratha). Our phamarists recommend SOOV (Haemorrhoids ointment) for the itch and non drowsy Anti-histamine for the relief of itchy skin. Trust me it work wonders.
Thanks for the great camping spots around Karratha. We did go to Cleaverville last weekend for a picnic, lucky we did not get attack by midges.
Another great video. Can't believe how many people are travelling around in vans. Looks like the caravan parks have got a bit greedy and free camping is the go.
soundzRinmygarden free camping is the go👍👍👍
ROFL the kids in the background in the last shot in the VAN hilarious :)
skudtz crazy ninjas or something😂👍
big smile on me dial , cheers guys.
Jem Ty thanks bud🤙
The pilbara of western Australia has best views like knox lookout in karijini lookimg where three gorges meet i lived in port hedland about 4 yrs back from 2009 to 2012 and it also has worlds largest export port in the world famous for exporting our iron ore to japan and China
The red colour represents the waterline on the ship. The red part is antifoul so that marine growth does not start making the ship maintain it's smooth flow through the water. One of those ships can carry upwards of 150,000 tonnes of Iron Ore.
Chris Dunn awesome

Funny watching you guys yew... my daughter Loz always yews yourve probably met her on your travels
Debbie Williams 😂😂😂
hi guys a couple of tips for you and anyone we use a vacuum sealer with reusable bags. For lunches meat I cook a chicken in the Ziggy, simply get a can of beer drink a little out of the can then shove the can up the chooks bum, have him sit up in the Ziggy with herbs oil over the skin . Cook for a bout and hour either eat for a dinner of use the chicken for sangas for the next few days.
Bec & Justin. Love these bids. So look forward to them.
Re the stones, check out Stone Stomper (no interest, just a happy customer) & very good to deal with
Rod Hobart cheers mate, we had rock tamers for a while but haven’t tried stone stompers!! Glad you love the vids. Cheers👌

Hey mate if you get an egg short popping through that mattress might save you about 1800 bucks and they're good and they're cool or in the summer the other thing ID like to say can you show us a bit more of the town when you go to these places like where you stay and every guy that's fantastic would like to see a little bit more of the town

Daza B hey mate it’s a brand called red roads, I dropped a link in the video description if your keen to have a look. It comes with the cooktop, but tripod is extra✌️
@@TripInAVan thanks Justin 👍
@@TripInAVan checked out the fire pit they look great can you tell me the one you have is it a medium or a large just so i have an idea on what it looks like for real. You guys must be helping out the sales of the fire pits they are all sold out 😂😂 great job 👍
Daza B ours is the medium one. Sold out!! Wow
Traveling Aus with you guys from my office chair love it :-) looking forward to the next Ep. try a layer of eggshell foam with a pillow top mattress protector :-)
Folllow the Leader cheers mate✌️
I’ll definitely second that eggshell foam, really comfortable addition for an average mattress.
Love to you all mate, could do a rundown on your camera gear and what GoPro are you using, what editing setup is on your computer 💻
Michael Holmes sure can mate, I’ll put it in an upcoming episode🤙
@@TripInAVan I have seen you mention it on your web site....... but a bit more detail would be cool...... stay safe now!
