Episode 11: Why South Lefroy is the Ultimate Camping Spot!
In this episode we leave Coral Bay behind and start making our way up the inland track to Exmouth.
First stop South Lefroy to see what all the hype was about, and BOY did it live up to the hype! As you may have guessed, we did not stay at our booked site during this period, as we were still fighting off extreme winds/weather. With permission from the caretaker, we camped off a track slightly south of the campsite between the dunes. As you can see we had this spot completely to ourselves for two nights and just left during the day to head to the main beach or meet up with friends. A MUST stay if you and your setup is able to make it there, make sure you have enough food/fuel/water and a portable toilet to last for as long as you can.
Our next few locations were only short stays, as we booked this part of the trip in Esperance only a few months earlier (throwback to Episode 1) and this was all that was available at the time. We headed to windy Winderabandi next and then onto One K.
We caught up with some friends along the way, Lou & Brandon make another appearance (you will see more of them in the coming episodes) and once again with the Golden Lap ( the_golden_lap?igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==)
As you can see, we love this corner of our home country and cannot wait to keep showing you more of why it is so special, as always if you liked our video please like, subscribe and comment. We will always look at what you guys think!

In this episode we manage to be stuck in every single storm that came through but that just meant that we appreciated the sunshine so much more when it finally broke through! As you can tell, we absolutely love the Ningaloo, especially Coral Bay and the views and wildlife that it provides. As always if you liked our video please like, subscribe and comment.

In this episode we spend alot of time restocking and prepping for our time in the remote southern Ningaloo. In case you couldn't tell already from the video, we were both so excited to get back into the water once again. Our time during this period (and coming up) was also full of wild weather and big storms so expect to see that coming next too, along with some epic ocean adventures! As always...
3 months living on the road: Real time recap

We have just hit three months of living in our car (Troy), what a WILD ride it has been so far! We left Perth end of April and after spending a few weeks south we went back for one weekend before continuing the journey north. If you had told us back then what would of happened on this trip, what we would of seen and the people we would of met, we would have never had believed you. While we have...

You took the south track in from coral bay? Im taking a 19ft van up from Bruboodjoo besides corrigation was the road ok?
Yeah South Lefroy is amazing! Did you end up going to Hidden Beach? That place was next level!🙌🏾
Oh no we didn’t! Will have to add it to the list for next time hey? Thanks for the recco and comment! 🙏🏼
Connor spends hours catching a fish, then Kiara finds one stranded and puts it back 😂
Ahahaaaa did not think about that, you are too right! 😂
YEEEESSS Legends. What a spot, can't beat it we recon!
Right?!?? It’s the BEST!
What a beautiful fish!! (Parrotfish) I've never seen it before. So happy for Connor to have caught/speared it. Gorgeous drone shots as usual. Amazed at how much rain you've had. Enjoy yourselves xxx
Yeah the Parrotfish are incredibly diverse, I think over 50 or something different types/colours?! Yeah we really had SO much rain, it was crazy! Thanks so much for the lovely comment as always.
@@_cktravels Wow, really? I should google it, it's by far the prettiest fish I've ever seen. Much love to you both. Not sure if it's raining up your way, but it's pouring in Perth today! ❤️❤️❤️
These vlogs are better each ep. Top job guys xx 😊
Thanks Janice! We are so glad you like them too!
That manta ray was huge! So lucky you got to swim with it.
We sure are! Cannot believe how amazing the encounter was!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Song name?
It’s from instagram, the audio just says By.vice. We like it too!
Love it ❤
Thank you!
Woooaaahhhh❤❤❤
The moments of "what are we doing, why are we doing this" are so real😂 Worth it though!
Right?!! We have had a few of those but 100% would not be doing anything else
Connors getting good at catching those fish! 😄
He really is hey?
Very nice !
Thank you very much!
Very nice blue water !
It sure is!
"Incy Wincy spider Climbed up the water spout Down came the rain And washed the spider out Out came the sun And dried up all the rain So Incy Wincy spider Climbed up the spout again"
Get the GoPro on Connors head next time he’s bodyboarding 😂
I WISH! Unfortunately the Gopro can no longer get in the water, it's strictly our vlogging camera now. Would love to buy a new one just for water time.
Great recap! Plenty more memories to be made.
Thanks Ben! There sure is!
Keep it up guys great content ❤
Thanks guys! We will try!
Those drone shots are insane. Also, more Timelapse’s! I love them.
Thanks for the kind words as usual, we agree Ben! We are going to try and film more timelapses while we are away from light pollution up the top of WA
So good !
Thanks so much Brandon!
Lovin the videos , nice and chilled viewing. What about the dingoes and snakes , are you good with them ?
Kiara loves snakes, unless they come for her. Dingos just don't seem as bad as a spider coming into the tent somehow? Haha
🔥🔥🔥
Stunning!!! ❤
Good Lord, as if I'm not always late to the show, now I've even got them mixed up too 😅😅😅 Hey ho, one episode left and it's your latest, so then I'll be with the program 😀 😉. Loved the dolphins shot. If people ask about home just tell them you're nomads, they'll quickly realise your vehicle is your home. Great video guys, i guess my next stop is suddenly in Kalbarri 😂😂 Lots of love and stay safe xxxx
Thanks for still watching, we love reading your comments. How good was the dolphins! We loved it too! Yes we have decided to just say "We live on the road" and that usually fixes it. We hope you enjoy Kalbarri!
Lol, I seem to be forever behind, but rather late than never. Kiki, don't let neighsayers bring you down. I hope you feel better by now. If you still experience mic/volume issues, just increase the volume on your editing software program. The new mic seems to work perfect though, can't see any issues with it. Can you guys at some point do an episode on your power equipment (battery sizes, solar etc) and how long it can run your fridge? I think Connor will enjoy doing some boytalk 😂😂 and I can then figure out if our system is sufficient. Awesome video guys xxxx. Enjoy xxx
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah we just seemed to let the words get to us but at the moment we are feeling better, despite some current other battles (for another episode). Yeah we do boost the volume in editing, but turning it up too high sometimes is worse. We are still learning haha. Yes! I agree! I tell Connor all the time that he needs to show others what we currently have, he needs to work on it :) Thanks again for the kind words, it means a lot!
Content , camera work out of this world take care
Cheers mate!
I'm STUNNED.
aha we do love that word!
The gorge is gorge 😂 I love Kalbarri except last time i went the flies were next level.
Yeah we really couldn’t stop saying it haha! Yeah the flies didn’t hit us so bad luckily, probably because of the cooler weather? Thank god for fly nets though!
What an adventure epic content new to this awesome TH-cam channel. Cheers from a cold South Africa
Thanks heaps! We would love to visit South Africa one day :)
You can't possibly be anxious. You're living the dream x Airbags WOW! Ellendale Pool is beautiful. Happy travels.
Amazing video guys. Good choice with the new microphone! 🤌🏻
Thanks Ben! We are still working on it but we will get there 😄
Great that you guys conquered Bluff Knoll in the time you did it in. Me and my Dad conquered it in 1979 I was only 12 but pretty fit and it took 4 hours up and just over an hour down.The track is a lot easier than when we did it trust me.should have stopped at Hopetoun before Bremer Bay but enjoying your videos so far
I’m sure Bluff looks very different, hard to imagine climbing it back then! We had a very small timeframe for this part of the trip so we couldn’t see everything this time unfortunately. We have seen Hopetoun before though! 😄
@@_cktravels we didn’t have boards on the track we scrambing over rocks and dodging rock piles that’s why it took 4 hours to get up there coming down was easy we knew where to go and it was all downhill
Home is never far away for you both. Love looking what items you stuff behind and between you in Troy e.g. Book and a couple of pears! School footage using the drone was awesome 👍
How are thinggs?! cool - goodbye-;))
Things are great! Never better!
Amazing video 😉
Thanks heaps!
First 😂
As always, our #1 fan!
Love it!! Yayyy for the new mic. Does your parents watch and follow Kiara? Love love that the videos are longer!!! This was a nice fun video, loved the experience with the geese...lol. Glad the drone survived, as i love the drone shots. Also very excited to see you both becoming more comfortable in front of the camera. Good onya guys xxx
Both our parents watch the videos, part of the reason why we made this channel. Thanks for the nice comments! We love the drone shots and new mic too! We are working on roughly 30mins for each video moving forward, but sometimes it just doesn't work out perfectly.
Don't know how I missed the last 2 episodes, but hey ho, here I am! Great video guys. Kiara, what was that mount called you climbed here? It so looks like the one Kelly and I climbed together....I think it was Mt Barker or something with a B... if i can even remotely remember correctly. Nice video, have lots of fun xxxx
That's no issue at all, almost makes it better when you know you have more to catchup on :) The summit was at Bluff Knoll, Kiara and Kelly also did it a few years ago too so maybe that was the one you remember?
Super vid, nice choice of background music. CB should have mentioned his muddy encounter at Big Brook Dam when he was 6 yrs old with his grandad and cousins.
Thanks Chris! He did not mention that story, would love to hear it too
@@_cktravels have pics of course 😁
If you come to Collie, make sure you go to the Wellington Dam Wall Mural and the murals in town. Let us know when you are in town, if you do.
We didn’t have a chance to see Collie, which was a bummer! Unfortunately we had to rush through the area to head up north but thanks so much for the tip and offer ☺️
Great episode guys. Full of drama too! You need to have a fear counter for Kiara throughout the series 😂
Oh don’t worry we will haha. Just wait till she sees her first croc!
Such beautiful beaches near Esperance !
They really are! Some of the best in WA for sure!
@@_cktravels And the world
Such a beautiful episode, scenery is simply incredible!
Thanks for the feedback! We love reading comments like this :)
Great video guys. Best one yet!
Cheers legend working on the quality!
Great ep homies ❤
Cheers mate! Few issues to work on but we getting there aha
Are you guys doing a lap?! If you are and DON"T have a timeframe, Just take your time. Don't be in a hurry to cover huge miles each day. You'll miss too much and regret it later! how often will you be posting? Once a week or...?
Hey hey! Thanks for the comment ☺️ We are only doing the top half for now, as it’s too cold and wet for the southern parts of Australia at the moment. Our little trip south-west was kinda rushed as we needed to be in Perth for a family event but now that we are heading north, we are taking it ALOT slower. We already have some regrets about how fast we rushed the southward journey but it was unavoidable 😢 We are aiming a video every two weeks but that might increase.
nice guys TH-cam has chosen you... It's showing your channel to the world.
Thanks heaps! Where in the world are you? ☺️
@@_cktravels new zealand
Oh wow! We have reached across the pacific! Connor has been there many times, we hope to get there one day! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼
Good on ya guys! Living the dream, having a crack! Inspiriational stuff, keen to do the same myself!
Thanks heaps! We are so excited to continue the trip! If we can inspire you to do the same, that would mean the world to us ☺️ no better time than now!
please don't move your camera to fast it makes us very dizzy slowly would be great and its hard to hear when your talking in the car cheers
Thanks for your comment. We are interested what part of the video you are referring to?
