- Kaka-DO or Kaka-DON'T, lets find out!
On advice from you amazing people that reached out on Instagram- we split up our stay in Kakadu across 3 different camp grounds.
We drag the van down tight tracks, hike to a water fall, spot some magnificent wildlife from the Yellow Water boat cruise, watch MONSTER salties at Cahills Crossing and find Aboriginal rock paintings at Ubirr.

When we were working up in Darwin for a few months the locals almost universally said 'Litchfiedld Do, Kaka Don't'. The waterfalls at Litchfield are hard to beat. Great video, nice to re-visit the area through someone else's eyes. I am glad we did our trps years ago before the crowds blocked up every half way interesting spot.
Unfortunately Litchfield is even worse for crowds. I guess because it’s cheaper, closer and so accessible! It’s definitely harder to find somewhere remote, or some solitude on the road than ever before.
Another great video. I can't understand how so many people are so willing to stand by the water edge where there are known crocs, I have too much respect for them to do that. Looking forward to next weeks vid.
33:02 haha Tiff so cute saying “suck it up” lol
Tiff, Cam, Chloe & Brodie thanks for the video 👍👍
Your videos are going ahead in leaps and bounds. So natural, keep up the good work
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 😊
I bought a Topargee monitor off your recommendation. A GREAT call. So much more accurate than those stupidly inaccurate van gauges. Thank you.
No probs! Glad you’re happy with it too 👍🏼
Hubby bought the Topargee monitor too Cam, thank you for your recommendation. 😊❤️🇦🇺🦘
Chloe is an absolute legend ❤
Haven't watched you for some time now, man the kids grow up fast, she is a cutie, "I can't breath in there" , very funny.
$100/night is absolutely a ripp off
Loved your video, thank you, Chloe is growing up so fast, such a natural on video 💖💖💕💕
Another good vid. I had 240 litres on roto moulded tank x2 but only got 160l. I modified breather position and put a pickup pipe on outlet. Got about 200 litres then. Wildlife up there is incredible. Thnx.
Thanks Cam & Tiff as always keeping it real, great vid, glad you enjoyed your “do” time!! Thanks for sharing your adventures👍👍👍
We love our topagee, which we thankfully used your discount code. 😊
another enjoyable episode. Hahaha great parenting moment Cam "your favorite meal Chloe, oops we're not doing smash burgers" 😅
We really like your informative, honest, none sugar coated comments
You guys slay the kewpie definitely deserve a sponsorship 😂
😂 hahaha we should!
Missed Kakadu last time but did Litchfield, thanks for the heads up
Good Afternoon 😊 Thanks for an amazing episode 👍🏼 Greetings and cheers 🍻 legends From South Africa 🇿🇦
My favourite travelling family, Just another great video,
Thanks for sharing, we really enjoyed your Kakadu trip. It's been many years since we were there. I travelled in a small tinny with 15hp motor through Jim Jim, Home waters and Yellow waters billabongs, they were all joined from an April cyclone. The sad part was we could not get to Katherine via Pine Creek and had to go back the Arnhem Hwy.
Loved it. We were exactly same when we were up there but we did it and loved it, just a shame a lot was closed and the costs are pretty up there. I'd do it again. but hopefully more will be open next time. Oh and I hear ya about airing down, but honestly I just bite the bullet and do it (nearly) all the time now.
Eerr good onya "Dad".no Smashbutgers.😂😂😂. Oh loved the outages at the end. "Smells like poo "😂😂😂
You guys bought back some great memories of Kakadu. Yellow waters, a great cruise. Cahills crossing a must, and the sunset at the rock. Jurassic Park almost. Wasn't as expensive 20yrs ago from memory. But your here on earth for such a short time, you got to experience it. Glad you enjoyed your time. Travelling with a young family, does have its limitations. But you guys have had a taste, and one day might return. Loving this series. It's like stepping back in time for me, and next year, I'm going to do it with my adult Son and his wife.
Cheers Mark...
Ps. Love the backing sound track Cam...
Outstanding episode. One of your best! Keep up the great work and thank you.
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for your view, great episode as usual.
Cheers mate 👍🏼
great episode guys we did this a few weeks ago its definitely a kakaduooo from us
So looking forward to travelling. Might have to look into getting some towels off you guys. Our new caravan arrives next week. Fantastic work guy's 👌
Exciting times, enjoy the new van!!
@@WildTouring thanks very much. Means a lot. 👍🏻
There's nothing worse than being low on beer😮
Wait. Being pulled over without a license😂 That may be worse😂
Haha, but it’s up there! 😂
We just got back from there as well, Jim Jim falls is great! Put it on the next time list when the kids get bigger as there’s a lot of rock climbing but it’s pretty spectacular through the whole walk/climb.
Love the out takes. 👍👍👍🏽
Definitely on the list for the next time! Cheers mate 👍🏼
Well, that's a trip down memory lane for me. When we went to Cahills Crossing the water was running the other direction, the fresh water running out to sea and the concrete road across wasn't even wet. 2019 tho....seems like yesterday :)
Yeah I think it changes direction with the tide through the day, impressive place!
Noulangie and nourlungie rocks are great sites also. The ranges do free walks with commentary also.
I heard they were worth a visit just didn’t get a chance this trip, on the list for next time 🙂
It's Kaka don't for me Litchfield is much better Wangi falls and the Reynolds river cruise fantastic crocs galore we spent 3 nights there cheers legends ☺️
Lovely Ep Guys in a lovely spot, I did it in 1988 was lovely but dear , then my wife and I went to take our kids in 2019 it only open to locals only,
Cheers mate 👍🏼
Love the banter Tiff!!🤣 At least the family is 2/2 when the kids grow older haha
Man what a rip off $100/night🤬
The girls enjoyed the sunrise cruise🥰Chloe did well getting up so earlier👌🏻
You just don’t know where the crocs are going to pop up!🤷🏼♂️
“For the first time ever!!” 😂
😂 busted!
Living the dream 👍👏✌️🙏
Life is good 😊
Haha ubirr - ubeer I as in moo and maguk- margook as in look
We stayed in Cooinda about a month ago and was shocked at the price. I think we paid $85 a night. The reception staff were super helpful and they printed the document without any charges. I learned on my travels that you pay for what you get, Cooinda camp ground is like a resort in the middle of nowhere. It’s like the Gibb and fuel prices. You can complain or just wear the cost for the experience. Cooinda and Kakadu were a highlight for our trip and I’d pay the price again.
Yeah we look at it the same way, I don’t mind paying more if facilities are really good, there’s plenty to keep every one entertained and it’s convenient!
Another cool clip, Fams!
Hey Cam did you install the Topargee water tank gauge yourself?
Yes I did a video on it here - Finally an ACCURATE water tank gauge! || TOPARGEE INSTALL & SETUP

Suck it up! Princess and Priceless 😂
Hi, guys great vid just wandering what size fridge slide are you using for your BBQ. THANKS.
Toilet cassette saver for men. I pee pee in a old laundry softener bottle, the ones with the wide lid. Doing this let’s me & the misso go 6-10 days without emptying the cassette 👍
Canadian here, sorry, but why would a waterfall be closed for "cultural reasons"? I'm just curious, not meaning to start a ruckus or anything.
It means it’s of significance to the indigenous, and with that comes boundaries to access/use/pass through certain areas ect.
If a traditional owner with connection to that country passes then as part of sorry business it may get closed. Also may be closed for ceremony.
its a Kakadon't from me
Yep fair enough, I get it!
The sunset is worth the wait.
Did you manage to catch sight of the Jabiru bird in your travels.
Yeah saw a fair few up there! Beautiful birds.
How are the stone stompers going? I am Looking at purchasing one for our set up, Great episodes, thanks
They work really well! Our last van without them was absolutely peppered after a couple of thousand kms of gravel.
Thanks mate, really appreciate your input
Great part of the country .. we paid $46 a night way back in 2017 .. it must be Covid tax 😂😂
I lived in Jabiru and worked in Arnhem land for 8 years, it is such a pity that costs have got to the stage where it limits how many people can go see this wonderful place in Aussie.
$100 per night for Cooinda (Yellow Waters) for a powered caravan site that offers average facilities is way too expensive.... especially when you realise that most of the staff are backpackers on minimum wage.
5-star hotel in Bali with breakfast included, etc
Mate apart from the obvious advantage of watchkeepers red lights, do they work better than the orange for bug reduction?
Cam did you notice a reduction % in your power input from the solar because of dust? Did you clean them at all on the trip? Cheers Jeremy
dust on solar panels has very little effect on your solar generation, less than 1%, however, if that dust gets wet and turns to mud then there is a substantial reduction in generation.
So green and warm like you say expensive but worth it.hope youngon is ok .
Cheers mate. Brodies coming good now 😊
Help I’m one guy with a dog do I need a caravan or would’ve a small trailer do the trick obs a suspension upgrade would help
Up to you! If It was just me and the dog I’d be in a swag under the awning. Much cheaper to travel and would be able to go anywhere!
How do make your water last?
I lived in Darwin for many years, even before Kakadon't was declared. Most of it is clapped out buffalo country. I'll be damned if I am paying good money to the Aboriginals who already get 30+ Billion dollars per year from the taxpayer ! Litchfield Park is free, and so much nicer !
How much time did you allow for this trip from perth to do it comfortably we are looking to do it from perth
5 weeks from Perth to Darwin was plenty of time to see everything and was meant short driving days. Tiff and I will do a Q & A in a couple of weeks time on here, and I’ll share our itinerary broken down 👍🏼
Sorry to say this here but if the
YES gets in then these places will either be closed off completely or it will be hideously expensive to get into. I respect the lands and what they mean to the indigenous, it should be available to all. but not be abused.
On another note, whatever happened to camping !! Toilet canister dumping priorities water worries with monitors that don't work, battery life power consumption, starlink, air conditioning, etc etc. Rant over.😊
Love your work guys. 👍
haahah 2.40 isnt that bad... we just paid 2.52 at nanutara RH.... :(
Yeah it’s gone up HEAPS since filming!
$100 for 1 night ! Wow , tourism is becoming a rip off unfortunately , lovely place though .
Agreed, prices are getting ridiculous at the moment!
Licence, c*#t$😭😭👍👍
😂
No offence mate but you look way older than 18! In reference to the need of your licence
Kaka don’t there’s so many better options than a miss managed over priced place like it is😢
Yeah I hear you it is expensive, I’d still say It’s worth a look though. Still a beautiful, enjoyable place to visit.
Hubby bought the Topargee monitor too Cam, thank you for your recommendation. 😊❤️🇦🇺🦘
