Exploring a Remote Paradise, Cape Leveque Part 1/2. Ep.57 - ROADTRIP AUSTRALIA
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лют 2019
- So after the Gibb, we nipped into Broome for a few days. Catching up with family & friends, then we scooted straight up to Cape Leveque!
We decided to drive right up to the top to meet some more friends. Gumbanan Wilderness Retreat was our choice of campsite🏕. We used this as a base while we explored the surrounding areas. We day tripped into One Arm Point community, had a dip at their local beach and visited the hatchery🐢🐠 (open air aquarium).
Kooljaman
Tossing up whether to visit Kooljaman, we just grabbed a day pass and had a look around the place. The western beach had impressive contrasts, with the red sandstone cliffs. Kurt had a little flick and caught a 45cm🎣 GT, which made him happy. We drove onto the eastern beach for a quick dip. Again a very picturesque beach, with white sand and amazing clear blue water. Not sure it was worth $35 for a day trip though.🤔
We so happened to visit Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm while the ‘festival of the pearl’ was on🎏. We popped in on a Saturday where they were doing free demo’s all day. We heard about the history of Cygnet Bay and fun facts about the place. We also got to watch them harvest a live pearl. Our intention was to do the pearl tour, but once we saw the demo’s we figured we’d pretty much seen the tour 😉.
Rusty chilling at Gumbanan
A few days later we returned to Cygnet Bay to go on the ‘waterfall reef tour’🚤. A great few hours out on the bay seeing the local sights. We got to see the main attraction Waterfall Reef which is a reef a few nautical miles north of Cygnet Bay. Due to the large volume tides that frequent the area, when the tide is outgoing, it rushes off this large reef which results in a waterfall affect⛲️. Have you ever seen a waterfall in the middle of the ocean? We thought it was pretty darn cool to see👏🏼.
After 4 nights at Gumbanan we moved south to Middle Lagoon. A slight 32km detour off the main road on a dirt track. It’s $15pp per night and since it was out of peak season we pretty much had our pick of the sites💁🏻♂️. Two main beaches, one is a long sandy beach which is dog friendly🐾 and the other beach up the top, is great for fishing & snorkeling. We spent 2 nights here having some RnR, swimming & snorkeling around the reef.

Thank you guys for sharing those beautiful places with us ...
They make those sealegs down the road from me, their pretty cool a, another great video to fill in lockdown, cheers
Hi Sparkys, I recently found your channel so I’ve started watching from way back in your adventures and working my way through and really enjoying. Cape Leveque is my fave place on the planet (actually the whole of the Kimberley is). How amazing are those Kimberley colours ❤️💙❤️💙
Hello Robyn, Nice, we have lots of videos to browse through haha
@@Sparkysontheloose I binged my way through and I’m completely caught up now. Really loved watching them all.
Congrats on bubba ❤️
It is sad that you
LEGENDS do not have at least 10 million subscribers!
Cheers.
They'll get there - every one of their videos is a little better produced than the previous one, next one will have better balance of sound levels between clips and background music....the locations are extraordinary, so no improvements needed there!
Thanks Andrè!
Cheers for the feedback Benny. Let me know what you think of the next episode, I've changed the way I do audio.
Beautiful video! Greetings from Paraguay! My dream is to visit Australia one day, and especially Western Australia, I would love to know the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. I always watch your videos. Congratulations!
Thanks
Wow! another great video thanks guys i really enjoyed it!! A big hug to Rusty, cheers!!
Cheers Perla!
Bloody beautiful up there! Love how you show off everything so well. Makes me wanna get up there!
It's one of our favourite spots, that's for sure. Cheers 🤙
Should have done the reef water trip when we were there, thanks for taking us along, magic part of the country
Cheers Kym we had to save something for next time haha
Such an epic place!! Every time I think of it I chuck Cape Leveque by Dan Sultan on and the memories come flooding back. Chris
Cheers Chris! I'm not familiar with that song so we will have to check it out.
Hey Guys great to see you back on the road, I'm sorta glad you didn't get on the BLOCK, cause we wouldn't get to see things like this video. Love watching your journey, Love your work keep it up. Cheers from Qld.
Thanks for the positivity Chris! This year will be epic especially with the new camera gear we have.
Nice one guys beaut spots 😎
Thanks Philip!
Well done guys.
Thanks David
That wasnt a garfish, that was a long tom.
Thanks for making this Vid, it is on my places to go list
$35 to drive on the beach is rude though, maybe my $50K in Tax and $13,500 in Rates and Vehicle Rego and the fact i am an Australian like the rest of us isn't enough.
Stuff like that really shits me
Yeah it's pretty crazy, it's like Kakadu... Why don't Aussies get to see there own backyard and just charge tourists. The way it is unfortunately.
the fact i am an Australian like the rest of us isn't enough! YOU NOTICED! Travel the Country and you find out.
ass usual love ua clips.that pearl would look great as a necklace on a gold/silver chain with a gold/silver clasp.well great travels n keep the shiny side up
They have heaps in the store there however they're a bit out of our price range haha
Great video
Thanks Lyndon!
cool stuff. livin the dream. been lookin forward to latest vids! i still can't believe what an amazing job that little nav has done.. zd30's don't have the best reputation lol but your's just keeps goin. it inspires confidence in these engines.
Thanks! Theres some epic spots coming down the west coast. The Zd is such a low maintenance engine as well, it has timing gears so no need for a chain swap every 100,000 which is awesome.
interesting, didn't know that about the zd. i had a look at a nice nav with only 70,000kms on it but didnt like the small back seat space, thinkin bout a nissan patrol with the zd but everyone i speak too rekons to stay away from them, maybe the catch can and egr mod or whatever you did is the secret to a long life zd. will have to rewatch that video. got all year to research as this year is all about saving bank so i can go on my own adventure instead of watching everyone else's..
Where you aloud to take dogs to koolgaman and pander? They are excluding them this year at camps.
were are you planning to travel this year to awesome spot you got
We will be heading south from Perth, perhaps all the way to Esperance. Than back up to canarvon to finish where we left off. Then on to SA.
Australian citizens should be able to go almost anywhere without paying anything, like it was not that long ago,
Excellent vid, poor audio.
So who gets this $35 ?
Good Question Max, I guess royalties to the local indigenous?
@@Sparkysontheloose Thanks guys love you trips and the way that you present them, keep up the great work. God bless you both
