E16 | The Big Lap of WA - 4x4ing Up WA's BIGGEST Mountain (Mt Meharry) and Karijini National Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2020
- This episode we leave the caravan at a free camp and we go 4x4ing up Western Australia's tallest mountain - Mt Meharry. We then head into Karijini National Park where we stay for 4 nights to hike into a few gorges we've never been to before.
Next week we head into the coastal towns of Port Samson and Karratha to catch up with a few old mates, we explore the historic ghost town of Cossack and fish the beaches at 40 mile.
Cheers,
Cam, Tiff and Chloe,

A cow drooled on our kitchen sink----lol , god I love it 😊
Love that place, thanks for the reminder
Great episode once again, thanks very much. LOVE that you called yourself a ginga Cam, laughed myself silly... Peter V.
😂
That deep red earth is just gorgeous ❣️
Every video I watch I cannot help but notice how gorgeous your little girl is. Makes me wish my girls were little again ;-)
Love your videos. Watch them every week all the way from Europe (NL). Waiting for my next trip to Oz
Awesome! We did it last month. Aired down to 18psi. Drove 90% open, about 9% rear locked, and flicked the front on twice (to go up and down that step you repositioned for - looks like you got unlucky with your wheel placement). Watching you do that made me nervous because I remember it being pretty off camber. It's a committing, slippery climb. Funnily enough - my partner also offered to get out and film me quite often :) Her watch said her heart rate was higher sitting in the passenger seat doing this climb than it did hiking through gorges. Drone shots were great too. Disappointed I didn't get mine in the air, so I'm claiming yours. Sorry. :)
The views from the top of that mountain well worth the effort to get the car up 👍👍
Again thanks for a great video. What amazing scenery and photography so enjoyable. Safe travels.
Another top video, It's on the bucket list for maybe next year when we are over in the gold fields (borders permitting) Thanks again
You do very well to take Chole on those amazing walks with you guys. It can be very difficult for us with our two boys. But worth it when it works out.
Great going mate.
Wow -Handrail Pool looked serene🧘🏼♀️
Absolutely AMAZING as always. Cam and Tiff, keep it up. and I also love the views especially from Mt Meharry.
I used to drive out past whittenoom 3 days a week and there isn't much left apart from a couple of people still live there, the road is some of the worst corrugations i have ever driven on and are a great test for any vehicle. great video
Another Cool video, you guys could easily be a tv show that comes on once a week ,
WA The Wild Way ,wild touring lol
😂 more of a head for radio I reckon!
Handrailgorge is just awesome! Julle maak nie bang kinders groot nie! Love the adventure
Beautiful Gorges , thanks for sharing & best wishes on your travels... your camera work has improved as you’ve gone along !
Awesome vid again. Some more great gorges and swimming holes! The Hot Cross biscuits looked ok!!!!! Hopefully we will all have our travel freedom again and can start planning trips again. See you again next Saturday. Cheers. 👍👍
Loved the run up Mt Meharry and Karijini in 2017.... Awesome Vid Cam, Tiff n Chloe.....Cheers, received the Gear and Stickers this week ... Legends, thanks !
Glad it arrived safe mate!
Great episode as always. Brilliant drone footage.
Fantastic scenery, thanks for showing. Looks like a great place to visit.
I say it every time but ...another great video. You provide heaps of info, its always entertaining.
Nothing funny about rolling an ankle, except if it was mine.
Looking forward to next weeks video.
Many thanks for filming all this.
All the best.
How spectacular is Handrail Pool!? Awesome video again guys! Look forward to the next one.
Awesome drone footage on the way down 👍
Another excellent video, thank you 👍👌
Another great episode guys, keep them coming
Incredible drone shots up Brokeback Mountain guys!! 👌🏼
Great episode guys.... Keep goin and enjoying....
Another great video guys gives heaps of inspiration for future adventures well done 👍
Great video thanks for posting guys
Brilliant drone shots coming down from Mount Meharry. Just shows how large and barren and amazing the Pilbera is. Im also amazed you found somewhere in Tom Price to get a new freezer.
Took some ringing around 😂
Some specky country up there 👍👍👍
Meharry can be tricky. Made it up standard MU-X no lift, No locker, just 32” tyres. Built up that rock step a bit. Great views up there. Amazing how few people know it’s the highest in WA. Loved the vid as always 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I lived in Tom price for a few years. Awesome lifestyle. Karajini was a weekend regular . Great content guys. Cheers
I always love the pilbara it home to me in my heart and port hedlandhas home to me too
Great vid mate , having just done Mt Meharry i can say the vid doesnt do it justice for how steep that drive is . This is definitely worth doing, signing the book at the top was a nice way to finish.
Wow some really nice Gorges thank for the journey Cam, Tiff and Chloe. Ps just got our dirty wheel bags from PM Canvas look great
another great clip fellas
Fantastic episode guys! Can't wait to get over there. Love all the gorges. Good choice with the Engel, should last you a while.
Great episode 🙂
Loving the vision/audio combo, compliments each other. No need to take it easy on the krunchilli Cam as have one waiting for you on your return to the big smoke. Great job. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Great video guys! Chloe is super cute
How good is WA. Drone footage of Mt Mehazza was epic!! Midnight upload threw me a bit. 😉
Me too 😂 must have scheduled it wrong. At least I got the right day!
I love the Rock formations
Livin the dream👍👍👍
I’ve been to Tom Price heaps on business but haven’t taken time to explore. It’s on list once we get our caravan and new 4x4 for a recreational trip in April. Thanks for the preview of where to go and what to do!
Nov 14 borders are opening for travel bubble.. hopefully you can continue with your awesome journey.. look forward to it..
Another great video guys.
It's pretty funny you guys had a problem with the ironman fridge. I had exactly the same problem with mine on my last trip luckily right at the end so i am yet to replace it.
I had my 74; dual zone running for 5 years in the back of my canopy for 5 years. It ended up with an internal gas leak and was done.
Very interesting about "Asbestos"
I've been driven around all those places in WA and never noticed that 😮
Cut up your canopy and get it rewelded and reinforced is the best way to go because they are all almost the same.
i'm loving the content every week i can't wait till u upload keep up the great work hope you all are
staying safe i about to go on a trip with the kids up to cape can't wait. good luck from Riley in n.s.w
oh 1 more thing what canopy u got i'm looking at mrt but im going on worse roads then u so u got any ideas of some
@@areeeyeelewhy9485 red sands campers have just gone to Bull Canopy
Unsure of brand as it was second hand. Looks to be same import/ similar quality to the MRT. If you're doing worse roads than we have, I would seriously look for something better quality. I just snapped a handle off ours last week 😂
Ha guys wedid a day trip to Wittenoom gorge two years ago from Tom Price, the town, houses and any structure at all has been removed all the streets are still there making it still drive around able the gorges are accessible and yes you see the asbestos in the natural rock formations but u just hav to be smart not touch or take any rocks and limited time there.the trip looks like it's going well and ur all having a great time 👍👍
Did wittenoom when working at Yandi
Day trip with proper breathing masks with filters
It’s got a ghostly feel about the place
Asbestos runs all through the Pilbara (it’s kept quiet)
Mt Meharry, defiantly steeper than it looks and once your driving that steep section you don't want to stop. When we did it there was a loose rock cairn where we signed a rock and left it on the pile. I couldn't see that in your vid.
Marty from Perth
Nah dont recall seeing one!
sorry guys , not being rude but that's not a mountain
You should do the Gibb river road to kununurra and wyndham and to lake Argyll and eat silver cobbler freshwater giant catfish and barramundi at el questro stn chambilin gorge and Mitchell falls at Mitchell plateau Kimberley region
We did. Episodes 8-12!
I think I’d rather just walk the rest of the way. Base this is Tiff booking on, show me one-up in the pluggas, proceeding to the summit
Another great vlog. A bit isolated up Mt McHarry, you were the only vehicle and it’s a long way for spare parts. We live in NSW at 1200 m in Armidale. With the border case dismissed we won’t be buying any products from WA because they won’t let us in.
Premier made the call mate, not WA residents or business owners. Many of us are equally put-out. Boycotting WA business just hurts Australian families. We're one nation, don't let politicians divide us.
@@WildTouring Well said !!.
Another awesome video Guys. Nudie swim at the handrail pool?
Tiff, at 21:21 you missed a dirty big spider in the top left of the screen, not far above your head.
I saw it! It was just preparing to leap onto Tiff's head. A Zombie spider! Arachnaphobia.....
😂 Ohhh yeah haha!!!
Hey guys try mt nameless Telstra track and climb mt Bruce walking trail and mt misery track paraburdoo
Awesome footage again guys. Love Chloe on Cam's shoulders during your hikes. That stumble, Tiff, something l'd do. Interested about the use of your diesel heater - you mentioned you didn't have it on - was that just because you were too close to other campers or you weren't allowed to use it? Thanks, guys.
Yeah we just don't want to annoy our neighbours if we're camping close. Have never seen a restriction on using them.
@@WildTouringgreat, thank you 👍
Great series guys. Early days I know but how's the new Engel going
Great. Had issues with the last one - stuff on top was not freezing and struggled to hold temp.. With the Engel everything freezes properly and it holds temp. Has a ten year warranty, so hopefully it's the last one I buy for a while 😂
👍👍👍👍👍
Absolute awesome videos my wife and I watch all of your family tour ❤️
Quick question please
Your brush bars knuckles that join to the bullbar where can I get them?
They are MCC brand.
@@WildTouring thanks for that 👌🏼
Enjoy watching guys. Question...do you hear of many caravan thefts in Australia?
The odd one, definitely hear of more break-ins than thefts.
bugger about the freezer.....what did the new one cost as a comparison .......loving the video content...keep it up
About $1450. A little more than we would pay as home, but that's the country town tax!
@@WildTouring $1450 not too bad given the location. Engel’s own website has them at around the same$. You’ve now got me worried about my Waeco, albeit I generally don’t run it as a freezer.
Hey mate do you guys have the dish rack on your kitchen sldie? We got one with ours but i'm not sure about it whether to keep it on. Kinda gets in the way. interested to know if you have one and actually use it? Great vid btw!
Nah didn't come with ours, we just bang everything upside down on the side to drip dry, don't think we would use a rack.
Hi guys, just some quick questions: We are planning to buy one of these Chinese campers next year and also want to go around Australia. After using one for so many months what do you think about their quality, failures, improvements, MDC / other companies? Would be great to make a video on it :). Thanks.
I think the forbes is built like a tank, we've got a lot of confidence in it now. Have had minor issues, but no show stoppers. Overall has fared very well. Can't really speak for other brands, looked at a few that had dealerships here and noticed that quality wasn't really on the same level. MDC seem to be pretty motivated to constantly improve there product- and the latest hybrids are testiment to that. Also liked that MDC had dealers all around aus.
Another great video guys!!! You are my Saturday morning routine now!! I want to ask, how old is your girl and is that a good age to go for adventures? Is it easier when she was younger or older? Thanks
She’s 3 and a half and it’s definitely gotten easier as she’s got older!
G'day, good stuff. how long does it usually take you to edit one of your vlogs?
Keeping that under your hat, ok
A question re the diesel heater, you mentioned you couldn’t run it because you were too close to people is that because it’s noisy on the outside?
Yes the exhaust makes a bit of noise outside. It's nothing like a generator. But we're pretty conscientious and don't like to annoy our neighbours.
Awesome vid guy's,how did all the little repairs go,I know one thing this tight arse caravaner won't be paying 40 bucks a night for an unpowered site if I can help it😀
All went well. Had to get caravan wheel alignment done in Perth. Knocked one side way out and started wearing a tyre badly. But all good now!
We reckon Cloey needs a little sister or brother :)
So does she!!
Hey did I see you guys on the freeway today north bound???
Nah wasn't us. We're around Albany at the moment.
I think the British Land Rover would get up there are easy in first Gear crawl and you could film everything I love the videos on your family all the best
Land Rover.... Brahahahahaha. Electrics by Lucas: the Prince of Darkness.
Went and picked up the mild and the hot Krunchillie after seen this. Not a fan at all of it on a wrap.
Bugger! Sorry to lead you astray! Tiffs not a fan either, so you're not alone! But most people I've introduced to it love it.
Sorry you prob get this question a lot but what's your average weekly spend?
Roughly $1200 a week for all costs associated with the trip, that doesn't include covering our mortgage or bills back home though.
@@WildTouring thanks guys. Can I ask how often you are at a free camp? As in no cost not no power hahaha. We have 2 kids and trying to get an idea for when it's our turn.
Any tyre trouble yet cam?
Knocked one side of the van out of alignment and started wearing a tyre really bad. Got the van aligned and put a spare on that side. Otherwise no issues with car or van tyres - no chips/cracks/blow outs/popped beads etc...
@@WildTouring nice mate well done, we were up in Karijini 2 weeks ago and put a rock straight thru the sidewall of a brand new Bridgestone AT at 25psi.
@@chenderson4969 planning a trip to that area (lm from Vic). Do you recommend 2 spares?
@@4bnewb969 Nah should be fine, Tom price is only an hour away from Karijini and has a few tyre shops if you happen to blow one out. You’ll pay for it but it’ll get you out of the shit. I didn’t do the tyre any favours I must admit, I think it happened when I came around a corrugated corner and the back stepped out a fraction and there must have been a rock in the right spot and my ute has a fair bit of weight in the back. Got it changed out the next morning and went back out there for the day no dramas.
@@chenderson4969 thx for info
Seriously man your making the rest of us blokes look very average .. can you just whip up the cure for COVID to finish .. next you will be catching fish in a rock pool ..see you guys next week we hope 🤘
Another top video, It's on the bucket list for maybe next year when we are over in the gold fields (borders permitting) Thanks again
I love the Rock formations
