"Fair cranking" is a brilliant description. Bloody marvellous. Coming from Namibia where rain is critical for water, 500mm is epic and a real downpour. All the rivers in flood and people cut off from towns. But after that, a wonderland. Cattle jumping for joy, grass growing and life just amazing.
Thanks mate. Love Broome for its raw beauty and Wet season storms. Spent 6 months in 2001/2002 chasing storms. A couple of Cat 1 cyclones and rain, but nothing as wet as this ..take care 👍
Cheers Peter you missed out on this one it was bloody wild .we’ll get everything back to good order all the river systems will be awesome and as usual the Barra will be on 🐟🐟👍🤠
Thanks for posting, we left Broome after 7 years in Nov 2019. There has been a lot of development around the foreshore since we left but still no boat launch facilities. It still haunts me to remember trying to recover even our small 3.9m boat from Entrance Point with any wind blowing. Thanks again for posting.
Cheers Damien absolute bloody nightmare that’s why we got rid of our bigger boat and got something a bit more easier to manage don’t know when it will happen if it happens at all🥲
They were talking about boat ramps in 92 I left 2013.. not a lot has changed... that's why it's called wait awhile state... WA...! Like the borders at the moment...!
No problem glad you enjoyed it we get quite good wet seasons here most years haven’t had any cyclones yet thank God love the rain it flashes all our river systems out and everything goes back to normal looking forward to getting out in the bush again plenty of good videos coming up🇦🇺👍🤠
No worries Elisabeth. That would’ve been an interesting time here .I bet there was a lot of people camping out on the beaches and enjoying life. We still do that all the time great place to live and plenty to do🇦🇺👍🤠
G’day Albert thanks for watching mate the river systems will be in great shape again this year should be some good barramundi fishing to be had looking forward to it .have you been getting much rain over your way 👍🤠🇦🇺
@@notredame089 in South Africa we have had one of the wettest summers in decades. 8 of the 9 provinces dam capacity are at 100% and even the dry Karoo and Kalahari floodplains are like inland lakes. Flood damage occurs almost weekly somewhere in the country. It's just incredible.
Thanks Shane for keeping us Victorians up-to-date on our favourite place . Great commentary and music. Now the massive repairs can start ,can't wait to return to Broome in the future, keep safe mate and love to alby
Heart breaking to see the infrastructure damage. I am on the Mid North Coast of NSW. I well remember experiencing just under a 100mm of rain in 20 minutes dumped by an East Coast low, back in the early nineties. Your video bought back some wonderful memories of a visit to Broome in the late seventies. Thanks for sharing Shane.
Thanks very much Laurene all the beaches will go back to normal. the Shire has plenty of work to do but I’m sure they’ll have it all sorted by the time everybody gets here for another season. thanks very much for watching🤠👍
That was awesome Shane, nice tour of your hometown even though it was pissing down. Can't believe the amount of rain you copped, must have been relentless. The river systems are going to take awhile to flush the fresh out and the open water in close will be quite dirty for awhile I'd imagine. Good coverage Shane, thanks for sharing that, i passed it on to a few of my mates. Your next adventure will be interesting.
Cheers for that John never seen so much rain the river systems will be in great shape should be a good Barra season again . looking forward to it🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🤠🤙👍
Great of you to show us this after that wonderful rain i recall that sort of rain when we were on Koolan Island was in Broome mid November heading there again soon it is a great place .
Good stuff Laurie. I know exactly what you mean I used to work on Koolan myself for a number of years and seen some absolute rippers of rain storms the water used to thunder into the main pit. Thanks heaps for watching mate👍🤠🇦🇺
A lovely little town Broome , a little green paradise on the edge of a bloody great red desert ! I noticed the sign at Cable Beach made no mention of the Crocs and sharks lol .
Thanks so much for posting this - missing Broome and can’t wait to get there again in July - wishing you all well - and stay safe. Hope they fix the Cape Leveque road - travelled on that before the tarmac - looks like the earth has claimed part of it again! Take care
Gday Shane. Haven’t been to Broome yet. Get there one day. Thanks for the tour. Bloody extreme wet season so far. Even Albi looked at home in the big wet. What a place. Cheers mate
Hundred percent Coleen never get sick of watching them specially when there’s a fire or some cloud around whole place turns orange sinking into the ocean🌞 we have some pretty good moon rises here as well called staircase to heaven🌕🌙 thanks very much for watching Mate
i'm a 60 year old Aussie and I've still never made it to the Kimberley, my missus says when she retires we'll do that trip, I can't wait. Been all over Oz except there, it's amazing how time goes by so quickly, been wanting to go there since I was a 16 year old travelling all over working and hunting. It really is the last frontier country left in Oz. Great stuff mate
do it you will love it been twice and off again soon , you will kick yourself that you didnt do it sooner , just take your time as will as there are a lot of F..kwits on the roads with no idea , and pack your rifle dogs ever where
I saw the tv news reports of this weather system. It was enormous and seemed to extend well into the NT and near the SA border. I'd love to see footage of how the outback looks right now. Thanks for this insight into your local area though....

Sir, thank you for sharing this. I left Australia a few months ago and my last holiday was in The Kimberley. Certainly, the best place I have ever been in my entire life. I am shaking after seeing what is happening right now and yet confirm the beauty and magic of WA. Keep safe.
Cheers for watching Leroy . You definitely don’t want to be here when we’ve got a cyclone she’s a bit bloody wild that’s the wet season. the dry season you will love it hundred percent👍🤠
Wow thanks so much for that...I've never been to broome, but is on my bucket list...i love ur dog, he has the life...wat a great place for kids to play, i wud have to have a go at that...just amazing wat damage water can do...we had a lot of rain on east coast...all the best, hope it doesnt take to long to get back to normal as this was a big event...
Thanks very much Kitty it won’t take long to put things back how they were the beaches Will come back the rivers will be in fantastic condition and all will be good thanks for watching mate hope to see you in Broome one time 🤠👍
Good video mate, I will probably try to get up that way sometime to check Broome out having heard about it from friends. If you are still doing the tours I'll have to give you a call.
Thanks very much Rohan you won’t be disappointed in the Kimberleys lots to see and do I don’t do tours at the moment but if you contact me I can put you on the right track thanks for watching👍🤠
Bloody hell Mark it must drive you crazy seeing all these floods going on around the countryside and you not getting nothing .pity we can’t send some down to you. Fingers crossed for something heading your way soon. Thanks heaps for watching mate ⛈⛈⛈⛈💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦👍🤠
Thank you for sharing this. It’s so cool to see the rain the I hate the droughts . Wow heaps of erosion at the beach . The water fall was beautiful. I’ve never seen to broom so this fantastic to watch. Stay safe love 💕 and your dog is adorable take care
Thanks very much for watching Susan. Going to do a follow up video when thing are back to normal and everything is beautiful again. Keep your eye out for that one👍🤠
Tasmania, where the aborigines were exterminated.. You are living on a stolen land soaked in blood of aborigines. The so called Australia is their ancestral homeland. Europe is yours. Why can't you go there and leave aborigines to take of their ancestral homeland?
Thanks for watching Maureen sure was a wild storm one of the biggest ones we’ve had since we’ve been here in Broome in 20 years we’ve had some pretty good ones but that beats them all never seen so much rain. We are looking forward to coming down to Tassie for a good look around one time not sure when hopefully not too long🤠👍
Thanks mate! that‘s really impressive, people who do not live in Broome will never see that. how long will it take to get the beaches, caravan parks, ... well prepared again for the next season? plenty of work is waiting....
Cheers for showing us what's going on up that way mate... I love a big storm... Wish I was up there, I'd be doing the same thing, out and about showing the fams and friends what's going on. Stay safe mate 🍻🤙🏾
Nice wander around broome under water bro💧 👌.. Millions of dollars spent in Broome every year on boating and fishing,but we still cant have somewhere safe to launch a boat. Crap effort Broome Shire
Great stuff mate, I have never been up that far as I live in Sydney. My father spent some time in Broome before ww2. Pleasure to see an area that I have never been to. 😎👍
Thank you for sharing. Australia’s soil is so fertile that if we just sow some seeds they will grow up beautiful, but the only thing we lack is water, great to see how outbacks had abundance of water now, only thing we need is now planting the trees which can save our future. Trees like Moringa is the best choice as they need less water and grow bigger in less time. Trees have capability to reserve water in their roots.
Plenty of water up here in the Kimberleys I don’t know why we don’t do more up this way pretty harsh conditions sometimes planting more trees would be a great idea thanks very much for watching really appreciate it🤠👍
Mate couldn’t believe our luck - we arrived in Broome on the Saturday with the hope of seeing few Kimberley storms - well she didn’t disappoint. Was an awesome experience 👍
Wow you won the lottery there mate. Wasn’t it a ripper. Ourwhole house was shaking from the thunder. Never seen so much rain pretty cool experience hay👍🤠
@@notredame089 seeing the river of water running down the grass bank onto the beach at cable beach club is something we’ll never forget - pretty amazing that one of the most iconic beaches in Oz is currently inaccessible unless they’ve reopened since we left - couldn’t even get onto the beach near Gantheum Point. Driving around in the flood waters was surreal - good thing hire cars go anywhere 😀. I’ve got some reasonable footage - if I manage to upload some stuff I’ll flick ya a link
Ha, neat film, thanx Mate - but weather a bit frisky, eh? Never been to Broome, don't s'pose I'll ever get there, but this was a great peek, thank you - although I don't reckon to the jellies - not so welcoming! Keep safe & thanks for sharing...
Cheers mate it’s a shame you can’t get here but I’ll keep putting it on TV for you. It’s only at this time of the year in the wet season the jellies are a problem any other time absolutely fine The beaches are beautiful and crystal clear. If you would like to check out all around Broome check out some of my other videos some good stuff there👍🤠
Bloody good video Shane, thanks. And even Alby had a great time. You're a daft bugger, fancy getting saturated just to please us poor bastards stuck in front of the telly dying to get up there. Well me anyways. Gotta love the electical show, awesome display from mother nature, and that rain. Lots of work for some poor blokes tidying all that up, but I suppose theyre somewhat used to it by now. The washouts in video were incredible. Poor beaches are worse for wear. But it is what it is. Looking for ward to your next video. Keep safe, and dry LOL.
Ha ha Ha hard bloody work this UA-cam shit keeping it real the place will get tidied up before everyone gets here I’m sure the beaches will go back to normal and the river systems will be bloody awesome good Barra season again this year I reckon thanks for watching Tony👍🤠🍻
Shane how’s ya mates back end. Gee Broomes changed I was up there during the 70s I was working in Hedland at the time for Newman and we went on strike over housing it lasted 6 weeks that sorted out the housing Married family’s had to wait 12 months before they got a house . Great video used to love the rain and you could smell it to
He’s all good now mate running around like a mad dog plenty of lightning and thunder rain like I’ve never seen before it was pretty awesome💦💦💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈☔️🤠👍
Nice Ep ,wow great rain give the wombats a wash out the creeks, Best we had just above Noosa QLD, was 728mm in 8 hours, but officially it was 428mm as we were not a recognised weather station its not recorded.
excellent footage mate , , , , and i dare to whinge when we get a storm in sydney , wow you guys copped it hard , did you need it , or was it to much :)
Typical wet season mate we get this every year some years a bit heavier than others in 20 years I haven’t seen this much rain we got flogged but the river systems are going to love it should be bloody good camping in a few months time when we can get in there. Thanks heaps for watching mate👍🤠
@@notredame089 not sure about climate change but one thing SURE of , i am 55 , , Australia has always been drought, flood , fires and out of blue storms , , but we go on , we face it , fix it and get ready for next on , all the best to ya mate , , at least dams all over place will be full
awsum episode mate, been hearing bout the floods on the news but haven't seen any real footage till now, bloody tops footage, I heading to the pilbra in 2 weeks so sometime thru the yr il probly see a bit of weather like that I spose
Love the wet especially when the monsoon sets in. It didn’t get that wet in Darwin but is been a decent wet this year. Cool video. Too many adds though. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
I live in north Queensland where is rain like your part of the country and i love driving around and looking at flood water and swollen creeks and rivers. And finding a nice quiet spot to flick a lure for barra.
Good video Shane. I was in Broome a couple of years ago. Top spot. You've copped a caning from the weather, for sure. Never seen Cable Beach look like that. Mate, do you have an online store? I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of your new stickers. Cheers.
G’day Keith we definitely got a flogging that’s for sure it was great. bit of work for people to do around town though but will get it back ready for the tourist season . I haven’t got the new stickers yet I’ve still got plenty of the old ones though the new ones will be out soon I will let you know 🇦🇺🤠👍
@@tonyyates3126 Hi Tony, I don't have an online store yet but I am looking at getting one set up. For now if you want to order some you can text me your address and how many you want and I can send them along with my bank details. Stickers are 100mm @ $5 and 200mm @ $7 phone number 0417 153 129
Thanks brother We are going into a global glacial period. These rain events have been happening all over the world. Not a lot of mainstream media coverage. Big things on the way.
Thanks very much Ludwig s . May need to get a bigger boat ha ha hah. Things are definitely changing that’s for sure .no doubt we will deal with it. It’s happened before that’s how this country got so bloody interesting the Kimberleys especially we see some wild formations out there in the bush thanks for watching mate
@@mollymuch2808 We are in a grand solar minimum that has not happened for a very long time and it has not reached its peak. Of course it is hot in some places. There are extremes of weather, hot and cold going on that is unprecedented. The amount of elements with many things that are occurring at this time is crazily beautiful and terrorfilying sublime. Time tells all tales. Watch and see, stay safe Molly. I love that name.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks very much for watching going to do another video after everything goes back to normal we definitely got a good soaking that’s for sure💦💦💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈👍🤠
wow nice footage we recent had huge rain fall in NZ last week we where forecast to have 750m+ over 2 days in some places thankful it never happened but their was 500+mm in many locations. The top NZ rain fall is 758mm in 24 hrs in Cropp at Waterfall Hokitika
Love the frogs sounds, Weipa is having heaps to. My dad whome i have taken on a year RV travel from Bunbury WA to Weipa. Beautiful to see this rain again.
Thanks very much Rosemary Greentree frogs all over the place and thousands of tadpoles very noisy Weipa would probably be having a lot of rain as well at this time of the year🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸💦💦💦💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈🤠👍
So miss those Kimberly wet seasons. Kununurra 9 yrs, left '92. Miss the mad dash through the black soil plains (sideways) to outrun the first storms, the colours in the lightning. The east coast has nothing on the nth west ❤
We also lived in Kununurra Karen. Seen some bloody wicked storms out that way thunder and lightning. Love going up in the boat up the gorge when the big storms are on watching the waterfall tumble into the water had a few run ins with that black soil as well thanks for watching mate. Also Karen if you’d like to see more of Kununurra there’s some videos that I did a few years ago that you might like🇦🇺🤠👍
Fantastic Trevor . She’s a little bit wet out this way at the moment can’t really go to many places. Soon as it dries out a little bit we will be out there. thanks for watching mate🤠👍
It’s like that most wet seasons this was just a little bit more than usual we get a lot of rain every wet season the whole country flood up the rivers get flushed out and everything goes back beautiful thanks for watching mate👍🤠
Hello @Kimberley Outback Adventures, Big like for this you tube channel, here on the east coast of south africa we also in our rainy season now! lol You Ozzies alot like south africans, maybe drink more beer then us!! Nice channel Mate!!
Ha ha Ha cheers Theo it is pretty thirsty work living up here in the Kimberleys you have to keep your fluids up at all times ha ha hah. Been a pretty big wet season so far no cyclones just monsoon. river systems are looking pretty bloody good should be a good Barra season again this year . rivers had a good flashout. how is it going over your way

@@notredame089 Thank You for the reply, I heard Queensland big sugarcane production of Australia and in the world! Yes our sugarcane industry a very old one, been around for many years, not as big like in Queensland or say Brazil, so some sugarcane farmers now starting to grow other crops like Nuts and those sort of things, we stil have enough sugar for our own needs, i think our exporting of sugar not as big what it once was, say in the 1960 or 70s, must be late by You now? lol i chatting about sugar, Good Nite Mate!
Monsoon rain the way it used to be. Always been wanting to visit Broome... one day. Best wet in north qld that i remember was in 1976 and apparently it used to be a lot wetter
If we're moving into a warmer, wetter world, then water management on the land is going to be crucial. The creation of dams, swales and banks to direct water and withold it where necessary, preventing it from scouring the landscape is going to be very important.
We had a cyclone about 10 years ago south of Broome picked up a paddock of cows and held them out into the ocean they found them a number of days later all washed up on the beach unreel🌪🌪🌪⛈⛈🌧🌧🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂 thanks for watching Mick👍🤠🇦🇺

Thanks very much Rohan you won’t be disappointed in the Kimberleys lots to see and do I don’t do tours at the moment but if you contact me I can put you on the right track thanks for watching👍🤠
Cheers mate. Appreciate sharing and the effort to put this together. Perth, with the annual fishing trip 2250km north
We used to do that then we got sick of the drive and bought a house👍🤠🦞🦞🦞🦪🦀🦀🦀🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐊🐗
Thanks Shane for the Broome Adventure, on a record wet season. Meanwhile in Mingenew not a drop of rain so far this year
Bloody hell Mark it must drive you crazy seeing all these floods going on around the countryside and you not getting nothing .pity we can’t send some down to you. Fingers crossed for something heading your way soon. Thanks heaps for watching mate ⛈⛈⛈⛈💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦👍🤠
Thank you Shane. I love a sunburnt country.
Good stuff Brian most of the time up here is bloody awesome weather but every now and then we get shown how small we are👍🤠
Thank you for sharing this. It’s so cool to see the rain the I hate the droughts . Wow heaps of erosion at the beach . The water fall was beautiful. I’ve never seen to broom so this fantastic to watch. Stay safe love 💕 and your dog is adorable take care
Thanks very much for watching Susan. Going to do a follow up video when thing are back to normal and everything is beautiful again. Keep your eye out for that one👍🤠
@@notredame089 I will look forward to your next video. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love 💕 our country. Thank you again . Keep safe
Oh wow! That's an impressive storm. I've always wanted to come to Broome. Beautiful place. Stay safe, best wishes, Tasmania
Tasmania, where the aborigines were exterminated.. You are living on a stolen land soaked in blood of aborigines. The so called Australia is their ancestral homeland. Europe is yours. Why can't you go there and leave aborigines to take of their ancestral homeland?
Thanks for watching Maureen sure was a wild storm one of the biggest ones we’ve had since we’ve been here in Broome in 20 years we’ve had some pretty good ones but that beats them all never seen so much rain. We are looking forward to coming down to Tassie for a good look around one time not sure when hopefully not too long🤠👍
Hi there I live on the North-West coast of the state in a place call Devonport....
We were there late last year, certainly looks different now. Thanks for showing us.
No worries Gegina thanks very much for watching going to do another one when everything goes back to normal
Thanks mate! that‘s really impressive, people who do not live in Broome will never see that. how long will it take to get the beaches, caravan parks, ... well prepared again for the next season? plenty of work is waiting....
The beaches Will come back fairly quickly a lot of work to do around town but everything should be shipshape for when everybody gets here
Wonder how my old place in Wakayama Crs is going....thanks for the tour...has been many years since I left...
Cheers for showing us what's going on up that way mate...
I love a big storm... Wish I was up there, I'd be doing the same thing, out and about showing the fams and friends what's going on.
Stay safe mate 🍻🤙🏾
No worries Kendall Love a good storm haven’t seen one this big for a long long time💦💦💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈👍🤠🍻
Nice wander around broome under water bro💧 👌..
Millions of dollars spent in Broome every year on boating and fishing,but we still cant have somewhere safe to launch a boat.
Crap effort Broome Shire
No that’s right mate too many dinosaur footprints out in the water can’t disturb them
This just came up as a suggested watch. Bloody awesome mate. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks very much Mick. Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more cool videos coming up this year🤠👍
Great stuff mate, I have never been up that far as I live in Sydney. My father spent some time in Broome before ww2. Pleasure to see an area that I have never been to. 😎👍
Thanks for watching Steve. Great part of Australia up here in the Kimberleys 👍🤠
Thankyou for sharing that footage.
Thank you for sharing. Australia’s soil is so fertile that if we just sow some seeds they will grow up beautiful, but the only thing we lack is water, great to see how outbacks had abundance of water now, only thing we need is now planting the trees which can save our future. Trees like Moringa is the best choice as they need less water and grow bigger in less time. Trees have capability to reserve water in their roots.
Plenty of water up here in the Kimberleys I don’t know why we don’t do more up this way pretty harsh conditions sometimes planting more trees would be a great idea thanks very much for watching really appreciate it🤠👍
Mate couldn’t believe our luck - we arrived in Broome on the Saturday with the hope of seeing few Kimberley storms - well she didn’t disappoint. Was an awesome experience 👍
Wow you won the lottery there mate. Wasn’t it a ripper. Ourwhole house was shaking from the thunder. Never seen so much rain pretty cool experience hay👍🤠
@@notredame089 seeing the river of water running down the grass bank onto the beach at cable beach club is something we’ll never forget - pretty amazing that one of the most iconic beaches in Oz is currently inaccessible unless they’ve reopened since we left - couldn’t even get onto the beach near Gantheum Point. Driving around in the flood waters was surreal - good thing hire cars go anywhere 😀. I’ve got some reasonable footage - if I manage to upload some stuff I’ll flick ya a link
@@Turbofte cheers for that that would be great👍🤠
Ha, neat film, thanx Mate - but weather a bit frisky, eh? Never been to Broome, don't s'pose I'll ever get there, but this was a great peek, thank you - although I don't reckon to the jellies - not so welcoming! Keep safe & thanks for sharing...
Cheers mate it’s a shame you can’t get here but I’ll keep putting it on TV for you. It’s only at this time of the year in the wet season the jellies are a problem any other time absolutely fine The beaches are beautiful and crystal clear. If you would like to check out all around Broome check out some of my other videos some good stuff there👍🤠
Bloody good video Shane, thanks. And even Alby had a great time. You're a daft bugger, fancy getting saturated just to please us poor bastards stuck in front of the telly dying to get up there. Well me anyways. Gotta love the electical show, awesome display from mother nature, and that rain. Lots of work for some poor blokes tidying all that up, but I suppose theyre somewhat used to it by now. The washouts in video were incredible. Poor beaches are worse for wear. But it is what it is. Looking for ward to your next video. Keep safe, and dry LOL.
Ha ha Ha hard bloody work this UA-cam shit keeping it real the place will get tidied up before everyone gets here I’m sure the beaches will go back to normal and the river systems will be bloody awesome good Barra season again this year I reckon thanks for watching Tony👍🤠🍻
Good bit of rain Shane 👍👍
Yeah Mark pretty good got the retick turned off now ha ha hah💦💦💦💦💦💦⛈🤠👍
Shane how’s ya mates back end. Gee Broomes changed I was up there during the 70s I was working in Hedland at

Great video used to love the rain and you could smell it to
He’s all good now mate running around like a mad dog plenty of lightning and thunder rain like I’ve never seen before it was pretty awesome💦💦💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈☔️🤠👍

Cheers Brent can never get enough of the colours myself👍🤠
Nice Ep ,wow great rain give the wombats a wash out the creeks, Best we had just above Noosa QLD, was 728mm in 8 hours, but officially it was 428mm as we were not a recognised weather station its not recorded.

Typical wet season mate we get this every year some years a bit heavier than others in 20 years I haven’t seen this much rain we got flogged but the river systems are going to love it should be bloody good camping in a few months time when we can get in there. Thanks heaps for watching mate👍🤠
@@notredame089 not sure about climate change but one thing SURE of , i am 55 , , Australia has always been drought, flood , fires and out of blue storms , , but we go on , we face it , fix it and get ready for next on , all the best to ya mate , , at least dams all over place will be full

Cool video. Too many adds though. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
Cheers Mat, it’s been a pretty good wet. We lived in Darwin some years ago and saw some wicked storms there. Thanks for watching👍🤠
The car wash looks great 👍👍👍
I live in north Queensland where is rain like your part of the country and i love driving around and looking at flood water and swollen creeks and rivers. And finding a nice quiet spot to flick a lure for barra.
Cheers, Robert me too much🤠👍
Good video Shane. I was in Broome a couple of years ago. Top spot. You've copped a caning from the weather, for sure. Never seen Cable Beach look like that.
Mate, do you have an online store? I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of your new stickers. Cheers.
G’day Keith we definitely got a flogging that’s for sure it was great. bit of work for people to do around town though but will get it back ready for the tourist season . I haven’t got the new stickers yet I’ve still got plenty of the old ones though the new ones will be out soon I will let you know 🇦🇺🤠👍
@@notredame089 Thanks Shane.

Beautiful footage mate, new sub here from the Mornington peninsula in Vic
Cheers mate really appreciate it. Plenty of videos there for you to enjoy. The Kimberley‘s are a fantastic place to live. Thanks heaps for watching👍🤠
"Out on the patio we'd sit,
And the humidity we'd breathe,
We'd watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia."
Thanks brother
We are going into a global glacial period. These rain events have been happening all over the world. Not a lot of mainstream media coverage.
Big things on the way.
Thanks very much Ludwig s . May need to get a bigger boat ha ha hah. Things are definitely changing that’s for sure .no doubt we will deal with it. It’s happened before that’s how this country got so bloody interesting the Kimberleys especially we see some wild formations out there in the bush thanks for watching mate
Love to get up there one day. Outback NSW has some great places I've been. But the Kimberley, that just looks spectacular.
Cheers.
@@ludwigs3509 you won’t be disappointed plenty of room plenty of things to do see you when you get here👍🤠
Glacial
It’s extremely hot
@@mollymuch2808
We are in a grand solar minimum that has not happened for a very long time and it has not reached its peak. Of course it is hot in some places. There are extremes of weather, hot and cold going on that is unprecedented. The amount of elements with many things that are occurring at this time is crazily beautiful and terrorfilying sublime. Time tells all tales. Watch and see, stay safe Molly. I love that name.
Hell mate that’ll keep the dust down for a few days
A bit of a clean up on ya hands
Cheers for showing us 🍻🍻
Glad you enjoyed it thanks very much for watching going to do another video after everything goes back to normal we definitely got a good soaking that’s for sure💦💦💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈👍🤠
wow nice footage we recent had huge rain fall in NZ last week we where forecast to have 750m+ over 2 days in some places thankful it never happened but their was 500+mm in many locations. The top NZ rain fall is 758mm in 24 hrs in Cropp at Waterfall Hokitika

Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this
So miss those Kimberly wet seasons. Kununurra 9 yrs, left '92. Miss the mad dash through the black soil plains (sideways) to outrun the first storms, the colours in the lightning. The east coast has nothing on the nth west ❤
We also lived in Kununurra Karen. Seen some bloody wicked storms out that way thunder and lightning. Love going up in the boat up the gorge when the big storms are on watching the waterfall tumble into the water had a few run ins with that black soil as well thanks for watching mate. Also Karen if you’d like to see more of Kununurra there’s some videos that I did a few years ago that you might like🇦🇺🤠👍
It funny seeing your video. I been watching Malcom Douglas videos . All of them. Old broom change d alot

Brilliant video, the news does not show you the whole impact of the rain.
Love it mate 200ml would of been nice in the Perth region
Thanks for the ride round with the dog.
No worries mate glad you enjoyed it👍🤠🇦🇺
Things may be a little tough at the moment, but when the storms are over, that country will be so lush you'll wonder if it's the same country.
It’s like that most wet seasons this was just a little bit more than usual we get a lot of rain every wet season the whole country flood up the rivers get flushed out and everything goes back beautiful thanks for watching mate👍🤠
thank you !
You’re welcome thanks heaps for watching👍🤠
Hello @Kimberley Outback Adventures, Big like for this you tube channel, here on the east coast of south africa we also in our rainy season now! lol You Ozzies alot like south africans, maybe drink more beer then us!! Nice channel Mate!!
Ha ha Ha cheers Theo it is pretty thirsty work living up here in the Kimberleys you have to keep your fluids up at all times ha ha hah. Been a pretty big wet season so far no cyclones just monsoon. river systems are looking pretty bloody good should be a good Barra season again this year . rivers had a good flashout. how is it going over your way
@@notredame089 wet like ducks here! I see we getting some thunderstorms this coming week. Cyclone went over Madagascar and then she went into southern Indian Ocean! i stay with my German wifey here on the east coast in the KwaZulu Natal region of sa, lot of sugar cane in this region! Really enjoy Your channel and a new subsriber! Have a good evening there in OZ, Cheers Mate!
@@theovanstaden5766 cheers Theo. spent a bit of time in Queensland lots of sugarcane and lots of rain over that way. Got plenty of cool Kimberley videos coming up this year stay tuned and thanks very much for watching mate🤠👍🇦🇺
@@notredame089 Thank You for the reply, I heard Queensland big sugarcane production of Australia and in the world! Yes our sugarcane industry a very old one, been around for many years, not as big like in Queensland or say Brazil, so some sugarcane farmers now starting to grow other crops like Nuts and those sort of things, we stil have enough sugar for our own needs, i think our exporting of sugar not as big what it once was, say in the 1960 or 70s, must be late by You now? lol i chatting about sugar, Good Nite Mate!
Monsoon rain the way it used to be. Always been wanting to visit Broome... one day.
Best wet in north qld that i remember was in 1976 and apparently it used to be a lot wetter
Yep, the cycle goes around and around. It was really good to see a decent drop of rain. Thanks for watching 🤠👍
I love my country, we all know she kicks our arse a lot of the time but what we get in return is worth it. Thanks
Couldn’t agree more mate we get put back in our place whenever she wants👍🤠
From SA
Enjoyed watching
Never been to too end
Awsome footage beautiful place allot different from orange nsw the storms would be beautiful at night with all the lightning top video
Cheers Kim it was pretty spectacular the whole sky lit up you could just about read a newspaper thanks for watching Kim💦💦💦⛈⛈⛈⛈🇦🇺🤠👍
Thanks for sharing your camera view's
Not bad Shane although we had 650mm in 7 hours in Mackay in 2008. It was soul destroying for many.
All that clean fresh cool water!
It’s a shame most of its just going out into the ocean. Thanks for watching Justin💦💦💦💦👍🤠
If we're moving into a warmer, wetter world, then water management on the land is going to be crucial. The creation of dams, swales and banks to direct water and withold it where necessary, preventing it from scouring the landscape is going to be very important.
Agree. But someone should tell Tim Flannery. He said the opposite would happen (droughts).
Good luck!
It's very hot and dry in Perth
@@heatherfruin5050 La Nina. Nothing to do with humans.
, here in the north west the hottest period was in 1923 / Australia is a land of drought and flooding rains , these events are who we are
M8 we 10 inches in 12 hours . north of the Daintree back then . when you see 5 acres with cows on it go out too sea . cheers bloke
We had a cyclone about 10 years ago south of Broome picked up a paddock of cows and held them out into the ocean they found them a number of days later all washed up on the beach unreel🌪🌪🌪⛈⛈🌧🌧🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂 thanks for watching Mick👍🤠🇦🇺
Hi mate we had some humid hard rain here in Christchurch City New Zealand in last few days lol but have to say maybe not as much as u guys got lol we had 45mm in 24hours here in Christchurch.... 🤟🤙💯👌🌞🌞🇳🇿
GAWD I wish some would reach Perth. Dry as biscuits.
Pity we can’t send some down. Thanks for watching mate💦💦💦💦💦⛈
Ooh did it wash away the Chinese fish farm in the Kimberleys there?
