From Dandaragan, we moved to our next base camp which was north of Jurien Bay and at Sandy Cape. We found a nice beachside⛱ spot to nestle in for a couple nights, which was great.
The following day we trekked down to The Pinnacles Desert Nambung for a look. Such a unique place which literally makes you feel like your on another planet🏜. We grabbed some happy snaps and also ran into Anthony, a fellow traveller doing a lap of Oz. TIP: Rusty was happily napping back at our van, BUT if your driving through with dogs, we got told the ranger station in Cervantes has dog kennels you can use for free while you nip into the Pinnacles 👍🏼.
We then headed straight to the ‘lobster shack’ in Cervantes for lunch. Kurt got the half lobster🦞 and Amz opted for a simple fish and chips. A nice large restaurant, a bar and plenty of seating inside and outside. It was very busy with overseas tourists, when we were there. On our way out of Cervantes we ducked into Lake Thetis💦 to see some stromatolites!
Whilst camped at Sandy Cape, we also did some day trips up around Green Head, Milligan Island, into Jurien Bay and out to the Stockyard Gully Cave 🔦. We even headed to a local snorkeling spot and found some underwater pinnacles! A total of 5 nights we spent at Sandy Cape campground. We loved watching the sunsets 🌅over the ocean, chatting to the fellow campers and just relaxing ocean side again.
Next stop up to Geraldton!

I like that you guys hit the main points around the area. The Coral Coast has a ton of top spots, North Head/Seal Island/Sandy Cape are all very good. The west coast is very different from the east coast and you need to be careful not to get to involved with where's best place but just enjoy what we've got in Australia 💖
Thanks for good vdo 👍
that was a well spent 29 minutes ~ thanks
have a fun day
London
Cheers John, glad you enjoyed it 🤙
Fantastic video
Thanks Charlotte
You guys are the Best ! Hands down. Others don’t come close. 👏👍❤️
You're the best!
Great video guys I’m glad you finally made to sandy cape how beautiful is it. I’ve been to that cave. It was 26 years ago on a 40 degree day traveling in a 4x4 L300 Mitsubishi van with our baby girl. It was scary trying to keep her cool.the aircon was crap. We were staying at the Leeman shacks at the time which are now unfortunately knocked down. Our friend John burns sadly drowned in that area bringing in a net . So there’s a little memorial keg they put there for him on the coast line. He was a great guy ex Vietnam. On a less morbid note guys hehehe 😂 the videos you guys got was beautiful with a lot drone shots Which I loved. Thanks guys stay safe and cool she’s warming up now.🥵
Cheers Brad, good spot for them 40degree days. She's getting pretty busy but being on a couple of hours from Perth it's no wonder.
Spent many year camping up and down the west coast,now in queenslands and miss those turquoise and black water.
Awesome spot and a great vid.
Was actually staying a sandy cove only a hundred metres from where you guys were last week.
One of the best beach camps I’ve seen so far 🤙
Cheers guys 🤙
Thank you for the vid and was great getting to talk with yous safe travels
Likewise, Cheers mate!
A few more Bush stripes 😀, all part of the adventure if you want to get to those magic spots. But you are gamer than I am going in there 😳. Thanks for showing us, another place to check out when In WA. next
Haha very true Kym, it's not worth the drama for some people 😅🤙
Thanks for the video guys!
Amazing Mr
Many thanks
Wow, fantastic video. Lots of lovely scenery and things to do. A bit of hard work getting into that camping spot, but you nailed it. It brought back memories for me as I was in that area a number of years back - so beautiful. Well done on the pork roast BTW. I’m looking forward to more to come. Good onya Sparkys. Cheers from Melbourne. Regards, Jeff. 👍😀🐠🐟🦘🎄
Cheers Jeff 🤙🤙 lots more pork roast to come.
Nice piece, thanks.
Cheers Stu, hope all is well. 🤙
First time watching your adventure, love the WA coastal beaches
One of the bests spots for sure!
Looking forward to it
I thought I recognised where you were our son took us there then stockyard gully the pinnacles for night time pictures we watched the sun go down we felt we could touch the stars what an experience it was out of this world we did exactly the same route as you saw the stromatolites had fish and chips same place what a wonderful place love W/A my favourite place in the world
Love that area and would go back in a heart beat!
Great video guys! I just did a quick calculation on the pinnacles. 150 thousand visitors probably means 150 thousand cars since they charge entry per car not per person. That equates to 2.25 million dollars. Not a bad earner for the government since all they have to do is maintain a sand track... LOL
Makes you wonder doesn't it.
Thank you for the video. Great. Took some note from your camera gear video. Got a cheap gopro 7 coming. Russell
Sweet, glad to help you out there Russ.
There is so much to explore along that coast. One day we will get round to really checking it all out properly. It is a shame the old shacks have all gone and and even bigger shame I didn't take more pics when they were still along the coast. I am wondering how long ago you shot this as looking at the beach just before the cave section, it looked like Milligan Island and there is a big campsite there. The rotisserie looks great, can't get the pork skin that crispy in the Baby Q.
Cheers mate, this was around June. We kinda liked the no human impact, it made the place feel very untouched. It's more effort then the Weber but more tastier 🤤🤙
You should go stay at seaspray caravan park in dongara and go try Cray fishing on the Cray boats at port Denison get rock lobsters and eat and I grew up in dongara and my family had place in 11 Dawson avenue and go Carnarvon stay at point quabba at old whaling station and one mile jetty take a trip up at mt nameless in Tom price and go mine tour of Rio tinto mt Tom price iron ore mine operations
Lots to do out there Nathan!
Hey guys, those spots up that end are great, there are also heaps of spots to the south down a track just after info bay before you get to the cMping area.
Nice one, we will check them out on the next lap 🤪🤙
@@Sparkysontheloose will definately have to let your tires down though especially if you want to see the WW2 comunication bunkers up on the point
Thanks for the heads up, Cheers!
Nice show guys
Cheers Stephen 🤙🏼
Just awesome guys :-)
Sigh.....it's like every one of your videos is even better than the last! You've got me wanting to move to WA! I can't wait to go on my trip next year....that's if this bloody coronavirus goes away! Keep up the hard work guys! Excellent content!
Haha, we also have been looking at property over there, problem is there's not much work
@@Sparkysontheloose yeah that sucks. The best places always come with less employment!
FYI, yes they are actual UW pinicles
Hey mate love enjoy videos 👌🏽👌🏽 love your work im hoping to get out there my self sometime soon in my mp300 navara 😃😃 hows the old girl cope with towing a van reliable rig that one
Cheers Dane 🤙 slow and steady mate, I will be making a video on it soon in more detail to the problems Ive had with her. I think everyone is surprised that it's lasted 2.5 years of punishment haha.
Great vid guys. Did you drop the pressures on the van as well as the vehicle?
Thanks Steve 🤙 we did not, van was at 40psi. If we really started to struggle they would go down to 16.
Nice vids ! Keen to check out Sandy Cape one day . Where are you guys originally from ?
Sparkies yeeeewwwww
Hey Jonny! Brisbane mate.
Ah good ol Brisvegas ! I’m from Newy (Newcastle) and love it here in WA ... I was only meant to stay a year but 12 years ( a wife and two kids ) later I’m still here and love it . Plenty of sparky work here too ... just sayin . Yewwwwww
That fires just a western Australian BBQ lol
That sandy cape spot you guys had,is there other people around or is it really secluded? Loving the videos :)
Hmm tough one, its a very popular spot. You could keep driving for more serenity though
Can’t wait guys going to be good 👍
you have a nice country
Thanks Robert 🤙
Another great video. What month did you go to Sandy Cape...the weather looks awesome. We stayed at Jurien Bay last May and only visited Sandy Cape. Geat spot. Currently where are you now.?
Hey Lee-Ann, this was around June. We're on the east coast at the moment catching up on videos, we will be making a travel update video shortly. Cheers
@@Sparkysontheloose thanks, enjoy you travels. :-)
The struggle is real lol :)
You guys gunna head further south now the weather getting warmer, Vic?
Hey Phil these episodes are a looong way behind. Will be doing a travel update video shortly.
How do yous keep the dog cool in the 4bie when visiting attractions like the cave?
The cave is not dog friendly so we left rusty at the van and did a quick run out. We only do it when temps outside are low 20s, early mornings are best
hey guys why is there a teck screw in your clearveiw mirrows
The mirrors aren't designed for the Navara. The angle has to be fixed in position.
When was this guys??
June
Sparkys on the loose thanks. Great vid
Nice videos,but your english is difficult to understand
Spain
Haha, Australian English is like fine wine x
That was painful to watch you reverse, that’s the easiest spot 🤭
Just use low range in those situations, you will pop her straight in every time
Always low range 1st gear in them situations, as soon as you brake through to soft sand it's game over. I could've gone forwards more but it was more softer. At least the tracks didn't come out.
I have the anti stall in the Defender so it can crawl without need of braking, and another thing to always remember turn off the brake controller. Or like you said game over!
Ooohh sounds like too many sensors for me mate, we will stick with the old school bog and roll haha Cheers!
