Let the Gibb begin! We start the Gibb River Road with our mates @justvanningit Excitement levels are at an all time high as we arrive at our first stop, ready to do one of the experiences we were most scared for on Our Australia Trip: the swim through Tunnel Creek. The beauty of the Kimberley takes our breath away as we travel further along the Gibb, finding more ancient gorges and stunning waterfalls to explore. Plenty of campfires are had at some pretty epic free camps, all the while creating lifelong memories of a trip we’ll remember forever. This is the first instalment in our Gibb River Road Series so make sure you subscribe and turn on notifications to be ready to watch the whole adventure.
In this episode we:
Start the Gibb with @justvanningit and head to our first free camp: the Lennard River Rest Area
Head to Tunnel Creek to conquer the swim through freezing cold water with freshwater crocodiles
Stop in at Windjana Gorge and see the effects of the major flooding the Kimberley copped earlier this year
Move onto our next free camp: March Fly Glen, which was a stunning spot to base ourselves for a few days and it was from here that we also visited Bell Gorge
We hope you enjoyed watching this episode and thanks so much for the support and kindness on our videos! We're on the trip of a lifetime as we travel Australia full-time so subscribe now to see the whole adventure.

We have watched lots of UA-camrs travelling the Gibb River Road but so far your video of it is by far the best. Stunning footage, esepecially from your drone but also we feel we are there with you experiencing it. And your choice of music suits it perfectly. Great work, congrats!
Thank you so much for the high praise guys 🙌🏼 really appreciate you tuning in 😁
Yew, here we go! Great intro guys and amazing drone work. Love seeing the gibb through your eyes🙌🏻
Thanks guys, a few shots from big D in here too 🙌
C'mon. Give over... where were the leeches pulled off of? 😂😂😂 Amazing content too guys. Well done. Cheers, dd.
Not to be disclosed 🤣 Thanks for tuning in once again DD 🤙

Wow. Ive seen the Gibb River Road lots of times with all the other u tubers doing it. I must say though your drone footage is spectacular. Have seen a lot that ive never seen before of the scenery. Keep up the good work. Enjoy.
That's amazing! Thanks for the high praise 😁 Can't take all the credit though, big Deryck had a few epic drone shots I've spliced in!!
That was a cracking video, really enjoyed it, well done.
Hey Tim, thanks for tuning in mate 🙏
Awesome vlog guys, we did it 2 years back and it’s so awesome, just like reliving our trip! Thanks guys

great start to the gibb guys
how cool to be doing it with the guys from just vanning it
were doing the gibb june next year but still weighing up if we take the caravan or leave it at birdwood downs and just tent it!!
Thanks guys, it's a pretty rough track but so many beautiful spots to see along the way! 😀
I have watched you guys from the start. You videos just get better with time. Nice.
Cheers Ian & very grateful for your long time viewership 🙏🍻
Stepped it up a notch with the production. Well done. 👌🏻

Hi Brad & Hayley
your camera work is so clear on our screen love watching . cheers
So glad you can appreciate the quality on the big screen guys 🙌🏼😁
Omg the scenery looks absolutely stunning 😍
Can’t wait for the next video 😊👍🏽
It’s unreal! A lot of very stunning locations to come along the GRR 😀
Wow. We did the Gibb last year. Windjana is unrecognisable. So glad you guys got to experience the Gibb
Hey Jonathan! It has been decimated for sure, but hopefully bounces back over the coming decades 🙏🏼
You guyssss, this vid is awesome!! 😍😍
Thank you legends!! 😁 ❤️
Great Episode stunning scenery
Hey Lesley! Thanks for the comment, great to hear you enjoyed 😁
Great video again guys, you haven't shown it, but my favorite falls is Galvan Falls. Pity about the heat that you encountered.
Can't wait to see next clip.
Coming up next mate! It was a stand out for us too. Appreciate you tuning in & catch you on the next 🙌🏼
I’m SO happy that your Gibb episodes have started. Honestly had me smiling on the inside the whole way through. And I love how much you are loving it. How breathtaking is The Kimberley, most epic place on the planet in my opinion, and your footage is spectacular. How fun is Tunnel Creek! So lucky you got to see Windjana, but wow it looks almost unrecognizable to when I saw it last year. Can’t wait for all the next episodes, can already tell they are going to become my favourites. ❤❤
I know you have been waiting for these Robyn! It really is a stunning scenery, vast and varied. Some really amazing places to come along our trek 😃❤️
Nice one you two! And yep, we are sure looking forward to getting on thr Gibb ourselves soon! Nice one and thx fir the tips on good places to camp too, phil
Awesome guys, you will love it. Thanks for tuning in as always 🤗
Watching this episode now! Wow you guys are fearless! I'd be terrified of the crocs.
What's scarier, a great white or a salt water crocodile?
Thank you for sharing your adventures. You seem like a lovely couple and the fun and enthusiasm just pours out of each of your videos! 😊😊
Hey Mark! Thanks for watching mate 😁
Salty for sure, I think if you're in the water with them you have next to no chance!!
So great watching your video as your drone footage is excellent viewing . Yes , Tunnel Creek and Winjana Gorge has changed dramatically due to flooding in recent times so much since our last visit in 2012 . We didn’t have such deep water in Tunnel Creek and you didn’t have to climb over rocks to enter the creek . And you were able to camp at Winjana Gorge where there were dozens and dozens of freshie crocs lazing about in Winjana Gorge . Looking forward to your next Gibb video .
Hey Fleur 😀 Appreciate your insight on Winjana, it was our first time, so can't fully understand the damage the floods caused! So glad you enjoyed & catch you on the next one 🙏
G'day Brad and Hayley...yet another great vid..enjoying your travels...we did the Gibb from kunnas and we got gibbed at the water Crossing coming in to Mt Barnett...still enjoyed it though...spent sometime in Derby waiting on repairs..saw you guys on the road out there one day. Travel safely. Kev
Hey Kev! So sorry to hear mate & hope you are back in the road shortly. Catch you back out there on the tracks sometime 🤙🏼😊
Fantastic, thanks for showing the amazing scenery so professionally.
You guys have come along way well done. Your camera work is great. We did the GRR in 2013 and loved it, favourite spot Mitchell Falls. This year we did the PDR Cape York in my opinion much easier than the Gib. Please enjoy the beer.
Cheers guys, that is very nice of you! We most definitely will 🍻 They were pretty well matched in the end in our opinion. Although we did hit the cape in peak season so the roads were absolutely shocking.
Cool Ep Guys
Thanks for watching Craig 😎
Yeah. Those leeches will put themselves in some awkward places 😢
😅😅😅
What month were you here ?
End of august we started 😃
@our.australia.trip. thanks we starting our trip in January
I have a question it's not really related to this particular video I'm in the process of hopefully buying a new Ford Raptor also a caravan the caravan I'm looking at is no more than 20,000 but it has all the bells and whistles my question to you is I'm planning on organising everything in the car and the caravan so they are both mechanically sound I'm looking to travel from Geelong and then eventually head back where I used to live in Hervey Bay stay there for a few months and then travel further up north where I have distant family in Townsville you have a partner and that's great I do not anymore say I will be doing this by myself do you have any advice for me doing this on my own I am on disability so working is not a factor but also money is not a factor either so what advice would you give me for travelling on my own
Hi Chris, that east coast trip is very well populated and you will not have to look far to find all the amenities you need. You should download wikicamps or campedia to find campsites, toilets, dump points etc. Will make your travels much easier, and less stressful towing. Enjoy the trip 😀
@@our.australia.trip. good morning I have done exactly that when you first started like finding the right caravan that is suitable for what you both wanted I've done some research already for the past several weeks so I know what my car that I'm buying I know what the maximum towing weight is add obviously it's only me so I don't need a very big caravan and because it will be my first time I'm going to do a few test runs to get the feel of what it's like I know about weight distribution but I think when the time comes for me to get a caravan I will ask the dealership for advice on how to appropriately distribute the weight I know as a truck driver that travelling on the Bruce Highway up towards Hervey Bay there are a lot of caravans and a lot of them were very slow I will probably be the one that is driving slow because it will be new to me I will admit that it will be a lonely and scary experience for me but also exciting and learning different things about driving with a caravan things that I will need for the caravan do you have any advice that you could give me and any tips
