it was over rated 20 years ago, awesome to see the wave and hippos 👍👍👍 , did a re visit last year ( 2023 ) and what a change, its just a $$$ bender now🙄🙄🙄. base your self at Hyden, grad a pie from the bakery, thats liv'n Barry 😀😀😀
We have only done the east coast 6 years ago. So many people, and so expensive to caravan now. Never used to need to book ahead unless peak holidays. Caravan park were anywhere from 35 to 60 bucks a nights with power and water. Always used to wonder how you have to bring your own home to a national park and they justify charging for a piece of dirt and a pit toilet, no water, no bins, etc.. I remember they days they used to supply free firewood and $10 a person. Looking at getting set up to do a lap of Oz but really not sure any more if it's worth the massive spend on a decent set up and the pre booking, only to be squashed in with a crowd of noisy nomads. Not my idea of camping. Golden days are over!!
Hey guys welcome to the west, unfortunately we had the same issue as you guys and I don't have a truck. I voted with my feet , I won't go back to wave Rock. Or at least the caravan park. Keep up the good work. Yous are amazing doing it with 3 little ones, must have the patience of saints. 👍 Keep up the cooking. Love it.
We don't often comment but don't miss an episode..you have the most beautiful children and loving family...thanks for all of your hard work making these for us to watch. We found the staff at Wave Rock very unfriendly also. Love the cooking episodes..always good for a laugh 😍 ( sorry Elenya) 😅 Best wishes ❤️
As a WA resident I always look forward to seeing how visitors find things out West. We do a fair bit of camping across the state but generally try to avoid inflated prices by avoiding peak periods (not always possible though). Love your videos and so sorry to hear that certain aspects of travelling/caravanning across WA have so far left you frustrated. Hopefully things will improve. Looking forward to maybe catching you at the Caravan and Camping Show 👍
When my wife and I did Western Australia back in the 80s, nearly everything was free. I had today you gotta pay for every bloody thing. I’m glad we did all that back in the 80s and 90s. All the best to you and your family.
What a bunch of bloody stiff necks at wave rock caravan park !! Anyway always love watching “Elenya gourmet cooking show” , you did well with what you had . And looked like the boys like it too … see you all next week 😊😊
Hi guys, try not to be discouraged the best is yet to come. South of Perth is invariably expensive, when you consider two million people are crammed into the southwest. The north is so good as there are only 600,000 residents (not counting you easterners), if it helps baring in mind we don’t know where you are, Bunbury council has a two day free camp right on the beach, need to be book ahead with the information centre. Another free beach camp is at Preston Beach. For the kids would recommend a farm stay at Preston Lime Campground $20 a night irrespective of numbers(lots of stuff for the kids). On your way north don’t miss Sandy Cape you can do a day drive to Stockyard Gully Caves. Finally Lucky Bay campground all $20 night. As it’s only 30 minutes out of Kalbari you can base yourself there to see all the attractions in Kalbari. Love your videos safe travels and you will love the far north. Hope this helps xx
Oh we are sorry you had this experience in our town! Just down the road we have our fabulous bush camp, The Camp - Wave Rock Short Stay. $25 per night and MASSIVE site. ❤
Great episode again. It's wrong the way the Parks charge so much especially for the children hope you find some cheaper & friendlier places soon. Might have to get the Cook to try that Dessert Yum
Great episode as always. You picked the worse time to be in the great southern unfortunately which didn't help your experience. We have been in Pingelly for the last 3 days on a family farm and truly empathize with you about the heat. This summer has been relentless hasn't it. Hopefully now that summer vaccay has ended you have some semblance of ease getting into places. We have found it relatively easy this month, but we're headed to Esperance now so things will probably change. We've come across a farm stay site which we are looking into while down there. Apparently you survive once a year and get access to cheap farm stays. Many of our small businesses bare very burnt out as we have not had a chance to catch our breath since COVID and simply cannot get staff. I recently sold my cafe and didn't realise how exhausted I was until I slept for 4 days straight. Only waking to eat then sleep again so I'm sorry that our state isn't giving you our best look. The wind will get better after May. Try not to go too far up north before then. You'll just get windblown Happy travels
Thanks so much for the tips!! It certainly is busy over here!! Sorry to hear about your burn out and Thankyou very much for watching we really appreciate it 🙌
Love the way Lenny was reading the map walking through the car park. Don’t blame you for having a dummy spit, some caravan parks are getting ridiculous. Little Ollie certainly has no fear of water/swimming pool. Looking forward to next week.
Oh, BTW .... at Graystone Farmstay, listed on Hipcamp, we charge $12 per adult and children under 13 are FREE! ... we allow dogs and offer doggie daycare so you can explore the National Park! Hope to meet you all one day ... keep up the great videos guys ❤
Hint: keep some milk powder in the van.It's ideal for cooking (custards, white sauces etc) and saves the fresh milk supply. Sad that your experience of WA has been tough. We understand. Travelling coastal WA in Jan is tough - expensive and fully booked out. Hope you find some nice spots soon.
Great vid yes cost to much they are just taking advantage of people not good word of mouth is powerful I was laughing so much when i saw the boys in the car and the haircut in the middle was halerious 😂😂😂😂 love your content cant wait till next week 😂
Great episode, and they didn't just pick on you they were unfriendly with us also, but i suppose when you are right next to Wave Rock you can afford to be. Didn't go into that round salty pool, it was to cold lol
another funny an informed app nick n Elenya keep up the great work the more we hear about WA we mite detour that part of oz in yrs to come thanks for heads up safe travels
Oh don’t let us put you off - it’s such a beautiful state, I think it’s just important to note if your on a tight budget, we have found it a little expensive for camping and the type of camping you get here (:
Hey Nick & Elenya thanks for another great episode. Would it be possible to have the names of the caravan sites that cost so much in this episode as my brother & sister in law are planning a trip to WA. cheers
Love that you are bringing attention to the price of van parks! We don't do them very often like yourselves purely because of the price! absolutely nuts! We will definitely be following along for more tips before we get to WA! Keep up the great work guys!
Great episode guys, we are doing WA as well and feel the same, bugger all if any free camps. Have been to a couple of great ones, Kendenup show grounds 20 bucks a night power and water and great showers, no beach but good to do the Porongurup sky walk. Parrys Beach was great but has a height restriction 2.75 m u guys wouldn't fit. Windy harbour really good heaps of room, 30 a night 2 people. Has showers as well. Might see u on the road somewhere. Can't wait for next episode.
so sorry you were treated like that at Wave Rock. There is a free camp not far away called the breakaways, but wouldnt be too good when really hot. WA is difficult these days and so many people are touring over here, even us West Aussies have huge issues trying to get into places. School holidays in the South West is a nightmare. Hopefully things will calm down when school is back, which is now actually. Some places up north you will have to book early as you will not get in, but there is much more free camping or low cost camping up there. Broome and Exmouth are usually well and truly booked out. Love your vids. Wonder if Wave Rock caravan park even cares about its bad name, it does seem to have the monopoly out there.
Go to worrora (warrah) station just south of coral bay. You can camp just behind the dunes down the beach at 'stevos ' ( thats what us locals used to call the spot) great fishing, swimming and surf.
Wave Rock Caravan park are renowned for being complete c🤬's! I live in W.A but after travelling Aus I've found we have the most expensive & crap camp booking system/sites/camps, crappiest roads, worst drivers, and expensive everything!!! But as you head North the sites/views, beaches and scenery will blow your mind. Great vid as usual guys 👌
Why is it that most bloody caravan parks put you in a shitty spot and tell you that all the other sites are booked. You stay there for days and look at all the vacant GOOD sites that no one is using. Not like they are doing maintenance coz a lot of these places clearly DONT do any. I’m glad to see it’s not just me who notices this. Great video guys, as always 😊😊
Just South e of Geraldton (about 50 k) is a great freshwater camp (it was still free two years ago) its great! Jumping rock,swing, bbqs and toilet. Go out through the windfarm and stop at the viewing spot, bloody awesome.
You guys are the best. I know life on the road isn't always smooth sailing but you & your kids appear to take it all in your stride. Really enjoy your uploads. Happy & safe travels to you & yours. 😊
Your children are going to have so much life experience, even though it’s a lot of effort for the parents, you guys are doing amazing and it’s going to be so worth it in the future when your children are adults and full of memories 🤍
Great episode once again! I won't be staying at the wave rock caravan park after seeing what you guys experienced. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next.
Hi guys, we have just found you - and we’re hooked 👍 We love the kids - absolutely !!😀😀😀 We’ve almost caught up with your vids and love every one of them. Congratulations on the way you’re raising the boys 👍 Love Elena’s cooking segment - hilarious 😂 Love your laugh & your smile Elena 🤗🤗
Another great episode love watching you guys . Shame about the caravan park at wave rock what a rip off .. you will find most of WA is so booked out these days especially once you start heading north. We live in north WA and it is so hard for us to go on an unplanned holiday anymore as everywhere is so busy . We can’t even camp at our favourite spots near town in winter they are all packed . WA is a beautiful place with amazing beaches. Which is good and bad for us .. hopefully rest of WA is better for you guys
By the sounds of that someone needs a bit more Customer service training, and your right big fella..... 😮I seen on another tuber from WA about the water diversion walls on the top of Wave rock for water collection 👍
these walls are on the top of many of the rocks inland, and they are exactly what the big fella said they were for. Ingenious way to collect water for settlements
WA used to be a great place to camp and travel. I lived in coral bay before the marina and c.a.l.m got thier hooks in. Freedom has gone. Im glad I lived there before the crowds of today.
That southwest corner, from Esperance to Perth has very little free camping. It's kind of a shame, because the area is beautiful. The top of wave rock is a catchment area. You are 100% right.
@@elnick.adventures Yep. I lived in Perth and I had trouble coming back from over east. I kind of rushed my way back home because of it, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth the effort/expense to see it once at least.
When you get up to Rockingham area, go to the Spud shed and it’s cheap fruit and vegetables, back in2005 a full trolley used to cost no more than $26 with milk and bread and it lasted for over two weeks
Oh dam !!! W.A is so $$$$$$$ at times nearly Double to the east coast. Looks like next year will be our first and last time if its that expensive. Keep up the good work and see ya in the next Vid.
Hey guys, been there too. Unfortunately it’s the only c/ park for miles so they get away with the prices. Gets better the further north you go. WA has got a lot of good stuff. Macca
You guys are a natural nothing to hide, unfortunately you had a bad experience .and yes hard to book into a lot of places . We booked Barnhill in January for July /August. Hopefully you will enjoy the WA coastline cheers and keep up the good work
You guys are a real inspiration to other families wanting to travel. You would hate nz haha camp grounds are charging 80-140$ a night which is daylight robbery for a patch of grass
Welcome to WA. Sorry to see that you're not having a great time with booking accommodation etc. How rude was Wave Rock CP towards you guys 😡 and it sounds as if you got ripped off 😡) I hope your experience of WA gets better from here onwards. It's really a beautiful state (but I'm biased because I love here 😉. I love seeing your 3 boys. Safe travels 😊
Aw guys dont worry it definitely is best outside of school holidays/long weekends- more around the $35p/n at a park and plenty up north of perth that's free and amazing! Have fun! Watching because im homesick for WA haha
Love your vids guys. The banter and your obvious, unadulterated love for each other. Hate the cost of wave rock. They need a reality check and avoidance from travellers for a while. Should be illegal to charge for a 1 yr old at a caravan park.
Not certain bagging everything WA is a wise move...last minute bookings often end in disappointment ...I really do love your videos...as you head North the love will grow
I spent 7 years travelling Aus and finished about 6 years ago the only bad experience that i struck in all that time was when I crossed into the west austral border. I traveled with my pet conure parrot who has his wings cut so can,t fly and if he goes outside I put him in his cage. The border sent me to kunnanura where i had to go to some border centre . The guy there-took one look at him and said no he is not allowed into the state however I can dispose of him for you I asked him why and his response was because if he gets out he will eat the food that the native parrots need .If he got out he wouldn,t last 5 mins the other birds would kill him so I told him where to . go and he followed me back to the NT border to make sure I was removed from WA So that was my experience of WA I have been all over the rest of the country including national parks and never had an issue
Just noticed you are appearing at the Victorian caravan and camping show this weekend. Not happy as I would love to see you lot in person as you are the highlight of my week. Currently travelling south east Victoria and won’t be back in time 😢❤😢.
TBH...& fair.. Many places along the East Coast have very steep prices etc especially during school holidays. Sign of the times since our COVID days. It certainly is price gouging at its finest.🥴🥴🥴
Excellent show as always 😊. Yes name and shame or scramble some letters and have us decipher it 😂. I thought my wife was the only one to say “do you want your mini violin” 😂.
Why not name and shame the parks ripping people off, you have a good platform, and there is nothing wrong if you tell the truth, it will cost them and help others..... its the right thing to do guys. Word gets around and prices will come down lol.
I think it’s great to air your opinion helps everyone check were there going time will tell can you day visit the rock or do you pay for it? Cheers great show
Try the Blackwood river out of Augusta, Alexander Bridge, camp site on the river. Up river black bream I will be their first two weeks in March if you need fish guide
I don't usually comment on videos, but you hit the nail on the right spot, being a WA resident I totally agree with the over priced everything here with no proper regulations in place WA will definitly lose its local/East crowd, people will take their holidays elsewhere! Instead of retaining visitors to our remote places, stop chasing customers away with your care4Fs attitude!
Can’t wait to get down to the south coast of W.A looks stunning awesome video guys thanks for sharing the ups and downs, glad you guys are making the most of it even if the prices are insane. 😅
Awesome video guys. Rene was just shaking her head while making the milk tart, a bit low on some ingredients 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 As long as you enjoyed it, the scores you got was amazing. Love your work guys and give Fin a extra kiss for Rene Cheers Johnny&Rene
Great Ep guys, luv watching u guys and the awesome banter between u both, awesome finish to the Ep, u had us in stitches. Keep being u & staying honest & down to earth authentic. Safe travels, Rob & Alana 🍻🥂
Hi guys, Starvation Bay wow what a beautiful spot. Your kids are so lucky to have you two as parents and what a wonderful way to start there young lives. Could you please ask nick to get bogged as I’m having a anxiety attacks 🥴🥴 we are off to Esperance in a couple of weeks so we will give that site a miss they are so🤬rude so you tell ‘‘em mate. Thanks again for another great Video. Take care guys😘😘 jon
C’mon Elinya, you don’t call him big fella for nothing, Im sure there’s plenty of things he does other than empty the dunny bucket that keeps you happy, gr8 ep guy’s.
Hey guys! Great ep, particularly the milk pudding (love the rolling pin action!) and Nick’s excuses 😂 Can you please let me know what dates you’re at the Melbourne show next week? I want to catch up and get Elenya to sign my missus’ rolling pin 😊
Just love you guys , fantastic episode tonight. My god thinking twice about going west thought, keep supplying all the good stuff guys , just love watching you guys 👌💞🥰
Great episode guys. Name and shame that caravan park Elenya, or will we just call it Karen's trailer Park.. 😅
We’ll be giving that cp a wide berth after that cranky pants attitude when you’re running a caravan park. Stoooopid
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
it was over rated 20 years ago, awesome to see the wave and hippos 👍👍👍 , did a re visit last year ( 2023 ) and what a change, its just a $$$ bender now🙄🙄🙄. base your self at Hyden, grad a pie from the bakery, thats liv'n Barry 😀😀😀
Hahah that’s the perfect name 😂😂
We have only done the east coast 6 years ago. So many people, and so expensive to caravan now. Never used to need to book ahead unless peak holidays. Caravan park were anywhere from 35 to 60 bucks a nights with power and water. Always used to wonder how you have to bring your own home to a national park and they justify charging for a piece of dirt and a pit toilet, no water, no bins, etc..

Looking at getting set up to do a lap of Oz but really not sure any more if it's worth the massive spend on a decent set up and the pre booking, only to be squashed in with a crowd of noisy nomads. Not my idea of camping. Golden days are over!!
Yes it has changed ALOT over the last 6 years :(
Hey guys welcome to the west, unfortunately we had the same issue as you guys and I don't have a truck. I voted with my feet , I won't go back to wave Rock. Or at least the caravan park.
Keep up the good work. Yous are amazing doing it with 3 little ones, must have the patience of saints. 👍 Keep up the cooking. Love it.
Thanks so much for this comment really appreciate your support 🤠👍
Your videos are the highlight of my week 👍👍 thanks for sharing
Wow, thanks and thanks for watching 👍🤠
We don't often comment but don't miss an episode..you have the most beautiful children and loving family...thanks for all of your hard work making these for us to watch.
We found the staff at Wave Rock very unfriendly also.
Love the cooking episodes..always good for a laugh 😍 ( sorry Elenya) 😅

I just love how you guys are so down to earth and honest. Love the videos
Thanks no point beating around the bush 🤠👍
When my wife and I did Western Australia back in the 80s, nearly everything was free. I had today you gotta pay for every bloody thing. I’m glad we did all that back in the 80s and 90s. All the best to you and your family.
Your right slowly everything is either shutting down or you have to pay good money to stay 😳
What a bunch of bloody stiff necks at wave rock caravan park !! Anyway always love watching “Elenya gourmet cooking show” , you did well with what you had . And looked like the boys like it too … see you all next week 😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching 👍🤠

Yeah-I agree , up north is way better and the beaches are just as nice .
Thanks guys !! And thanks for the tips !! We have taken a different approach now and found it a little better 👍🤠
The two boys helping their little bro along was both cool & cute.
They are all getting along really well at the moment 🤠👍
Good to see you guys caught up with a West Australian legend, Cam and Tiff ,
Such lovely people !!!👍🤠
Yes name and shame that park,,, we love you . Hope to meet you at the Melbourne show next week. Roy and Doreen xxx
Thanks guys will be there 👍
Wow, couldn’t believe you were spoken to in that way. Well done for keeping your cool, us…nope, gravel pit here we come!!
We were thinking it !!👍🤠
Oh we are sorry you had this experience in our town! Just down the road we have our fabulous bush camp, The Camp - Wave Rock Short Stay. $25 per night and MASSIVE site. ❤
We were going to go there! Mandy we should have !🤠
Next time, we would love to host you!@@elnick.adventures
Thanks guys. We have stayed at Wave Rock, Oct 2023, most unfriendly check-in staff that we've ever encountered; we didn't let them know - why bother?
There’s so many people who have encountered the same thing unfortunately :( sorry to hear you guys had a bad interaction too :( thanks for watching 🙌
Great episode again. It's wrong the way the Parks charge so much especially for the children hope you find some cheaper & friendlier places soon. Might have to get the Cook to try that Dessert Yum
I hope so too! Thanks for watching 👍🤠

Oh don’t let us put you off - it’s such a beautiful state, I think it’s just important to note if your on a tight budget, we have found it a little expensive for camping and the type of camping you get here (:
You can buy a annual park pass for WA which is good value. Once you are past school holidays prices come down a bit.
That is good to know 🤠👍
Hey Nick & Elenya thanks for another great episode. Would it be possible to have the names of the caravan sites that cost so much in this episode as my brother & sister in law are planning a trip to WA. cheers
It was the wave rock caravan park the only one in that area 👍🤠
This is where Showgrounds are good here on NSW Far North Coast. Always a great fall back.
Agree there’s always options !!👍🤠
Love that you are bringing attention to the price of van parks! We don't do them very often like yourselves purely because of the price! absolutely nuts! We will definitely be following along for more tips before we get to WA! Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks guys !!! It’s so expensive especially when you add the kids !! We might see you over there😉 hope you’re feeling better to!!
Great episode guys, we are doing WA as well and feel the same, bugger all if any free camps. Have been to a couple of great ones, Kendenup show grounds 20 bucks a night power and water and great showers, no beach but good to do the Porongurup sky walk.

Hey it doesn’t seem to they have a lot of negative reviews. Thanks for watching 👍
As a perth local, must agree wind is hoooorrrribbbblllllleeee
It is very windy isn’t it 👍🤠
So nice to hear mum look at her boys playing on the beach and say to dad 'I want another one'. :-)
😂😂 it was so cute! Best job in the world (:
Go to worrora (warrah) station just south of coral bay. You can camp just behind the dunes down the beach at 'stevos ' ( thats what us locals used to call the spot) great fishing, swimming and surf.

Yes, some places are ridiculous the way they charge for a couple of mtrs of dirt. No power, water or a rubbish bin.
It’s getting out of hand !!
You guys are the best. I know life on the road isn't always smooth sailing but you & your kids appear to take it all in your stride. Really enjoy your uploads. Happy & safe travels to you & yours. 😊
Thank you so much!🙌👍
Your children are going to have so much life experience, even though it’s a lot of effort for the parents, you guys are doing amazing and it’s going to be so worth it in the future when your children are adults and full of memories 🤍
Thank you so much! 💕 we love this lifestyle and experiencing it with our boys! Appreciate the support
I have not been down around W.A since the 80,s it was a beautiful spot,in those days plenty of free camping evening the beaches ,how time has changed.
Time flys doesn’t it !!👍🤠
Great episode once again! I won't be staying at the wave rock caravan park after seeing what you guys experienced. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next.
Thanks for watching as always guys !!! Appreciate your support 🤠
A rare collectible episode where Nick could not find a sand dune in which to bury the truck. 😆
Hahahahah he was having withdrawals 😂😂
Hi guys,
we have just found you - and we’re hooked 👍
We love the kids - absolutely !!😀😀😀
We’ve almost caught up with your vids and love every one of them. Congratulations on the way you’re raising the boys 👍
Love Elena’s cooking segment - hilarious 😂 Love your laugh & your smile Elena 🤗🤗
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much! So nice to hear you’ve enjoyed the episodes 💕 appreciate your support!
Another great episode love watching you guys . Shame about the caravan park at wave rock what a rip off .. you will find most of WA is so booked out these days especially once you start heading north. We live in north WA and it is so hard for us to go on an unplanned holiday anymore as everywhere is so busy . We can’t even camp at our favourite spots near town in winter they are all packed . WA is a beautiful place with amazing beaches. Which is good and bad for us .. hopefully rest of WA is better for you guys
You guys have some amazing beaches !! And that sucks about the spontaneous trips!! Thanks for watching 👍🤠
I love the friendly banter!! What are you cooking next week?
Not sure yet😂😂
By the sounds of that someone needs a bit more Customer service training, and your right big fella..... 😮I seen on another tuber from WA about the water diversion walls on the top of Wave rock for water collection 👍
these walls are on the top of many of the rocks inland, and they are exactly what the big fella said they were for. Ingenious way to collect water for settlements
I thought it was for that !!🤠👍
Great Video guys
Our pleasure! Dont let it put you off though salt pools are pretty cool 👍🤠
WA used to be a great place to camp and travel. I lived in coral bay before the marina and c.a.l.m got thier hooks in. Freedom has gone. Im glad I lived there before the crowds of today.
Yes I bet its all changed now for you :( thanks for watching 🤠
That southwest corner, from Esperance to Perth has very little free camping. It's kind of a shame, because the area is beautiful.
The top of wave rock is a catchment area. You are 100% right.
I thought it was/is thanks for watching 🤠👍
@@elnick.adventures Yep. I lived in Perth and I had trouble coming back from over east. I kind of rushed my way back home because of it, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth the effort/expense to see it once at least.
Great episode guys, just love how you guys are so down to earth and honest ❤
Thank you !! And thanks for your support 💪💪🤠👍
Loved that you made a milk tart from my home country of South Africa! Not an easy recipe.
We got the recipe from a mate 🤠 they are so yummy!!👍
What an incredible video ! Thank you so much !
Glad you liked it!🤠
When you get up to Rockingham area, go to the Spud shed and it’s cheap fruit and vegetables, back in2005 a full trolley used to cost no more than $26 with milk and bread and it lasted for over two weeks
Wow that’s really good!!will have to check it out 👍🤠
It's such a pity that WA is getting so expensive. I've heard it from several people. It's nice to see that you're still enjoying yourself.
No point complaining no one listens 😂😂 thanks for watching.
Enjoy the episode guys, making us really looking forward to heading west ....lol 😅😅
Hahahah don’t let us put you off !!😂😂
Head North - too many people down South and too close to Perth and other big cities/towns - Great videos!!
Yes! Thank you! We are on our way 🤠👍
Another great video carnt wait to see you at the caravan show ❤ you guys
We will be there the whole show 🤠👍
Well done Elenya & Nick for keeping your cool. Love your vids & always look forward to the next, safe travels cheers Kev 🍻.
Thank you! 😀
I live in W.A. but I'm afraid i've been priced out in the caravan park market. Absolutely impossibly priced.
100%😳
Such a great episode. Thank you guys, well done.
Thanks for watching 🤠👍
Oh dam !!! W.A is so $$$$$$$ at times nearly Double to the east coast. Looks like next year will be our first and last time if its that expensive. Keep up the good work and see ya in the next Vid.
its very dependent on when you come. Avoid school holidays and public holidays, and then the prices are fairly normal
Thanks for watching I’m sure it’s not always like this👍🤠
Hey guys, been there too. Unfortunately it’s the only c/ park for miles so they get away with the prices. Gets better the further north you go. WA has got a lot of good stuff. Macca
We have heard the further north you go the better 🤞🤞
You guys are a natural nothing to hide, unfortunately you had a bad experience .and yes hard to book into a lot of places . We booked Barnhill in January for July /August. Hopefully you will enjoy the WA coastline cheers and keep up the good work
Thanks for watching we just have to get our crap together and book😂👍
You guys are great. Love your naturalness and always laughing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much 😁
As always epic episode great content cheers greetings from South Africa
Thanks for watching👍🤠
Awesome episode those kids are so frigging cute Nick you let Elenya have another baby you really can't deny her😂
Hahahah she is trying !!😂😂
You guys are a real inspiration to other families wanting to travel. You would hate nz haha camp grounds are charging 80-140$ a night which is daylight robbery for a patch of grass
Wow sooo expensive !!! That’s insane 🤦♀️
Welcome to WA.
Sorry to see that you're not having a great time with booking accommodation etc.
How rude was Wave Rock CP towards you guys 😡 and it sounds as if you got ripped off 😡)
I hope your experience of WA gets better from here onwards. It's really a beautiful state (but I'm biased because I love here 😉.
I love seeing your 3 boys. Safe travels 😊
Thanks Debbie! I’m sure it will get better. The boys are full on at the moment haha😂
Aw guys dont worry it definitely is best outside of school holidays/long weekends- more around the $35p/n at a park and plenty up north of perth that's free and amazing! Have fun! Watching because im homesick for WA haha
Hopefully it gets better !!:) thanks for watching 🤠
Love your vids guys. The banter and your obvious, unadulterated love for each other. Hate the cost of wave rock. They need a reality check and avoidance from travellers for a while. Should be illegal to charge for a 1 yr old at a caravan park.
Thanks so much! Yes it was a shock there 🤦♀️
Not certain bagging everything WA is a wise move...last minute bookings often end in disappointment ...I really do love your videos...as you head North the love will grow
Hopefully it gets better🤠👍
I spent 7 years travelling Aus and finished about 6 years ago the only bad experience that i struck in all that time was when I crossed into the west austral border. I traveled with my pet conure parrot who has his wings cut so can,t fly and if he goes outside I put him in his cage. The border sent me to kunnanura where i had to go to some border centre . The guy there-took one look at him and said no he is not allowed into the state however I can dispose of him for you I asked him why and his response was because if he gets out he will eat the food that the native parrots need .If he got out he wouldn,t last 5 mins the other birds would kill him so I told him where to . go and he followed me back to the NT border to make sure I was removed from WA So that was my experience of WA I have been all over the rest of the country including national parks and never had an issue
Just noticed you are appearing at the Victorian caravan and camping show this weekend. Not happy as I would love to see you lot in person as you are the highlight of my week. Currently travelling south east Victoria and won’t be back in time 😢❤😢.
Ohh no sorry Mabey could catch up on the next one!! Thanks for watching !!🤠👍
Thanks so much guys you always make me laugh when I sad yous are one of the best ❤
Aww this is great to read! Thanks for the support 🤠 appreciate it
Great video again guys, glad someone else had the same rip-off experience in WA…
TBH...& fair..
Many places along the East Coast have very steep prices etc especially during school holidays.
Sign of the times since our COVID days.
It certainly is price gouging at its finest.🥴🥴🥴
Sorry to hear that🤦♀️
Excellent show as always 😊. Yes name and shame or scramble some letters and have us decipher it 😂. I thought my wife was the only one to say “do you want your mini violin” 😂.
Hahaha it’s a good saying elenya loves it !!🙌
Yeah Nick, we're the unsung heroes of camping aren't we? 😂😂😂
Great episodic as per usual guys. Cheers, dd
Hahaha I like to think so! Thanks for watching 🤠👍
Why not name and shame the parks ripping people off, you have a good platform, and there is nothing wrong if you tell the truth, it will cost them and help others..... its the right thing to do guys. Word gets around and prices will come down lol.
Will do it moving forward 👍👍🤠
I think it’s great to air your opinion helps everyone check were there going time will tell can you day visit the rock or do you pay for it? Cheers great show
I think even if you say visit it still cost you 👍
Try the Blackwood river out of Augusta, Alexander Bridge, camp site on the river. Up river black bream
I will be their first two weeks in March if you need fish guide
We might have to take you up on that!! Thanks for the tip!!🤠👍
I have driven my Ute on wave rock 40 years ago
Wow how times change !!!😳
I had the same problem with finding camps in WA.
Make sure you plan ahead for the public holidays.
Good luck..
Thank you! Will do! We have started booking things now 🤠👍
Great show guys, we are heading that way next month.
Thanyou might see you over there 👍🤠
Name and shame those who rip eople off so we can avoid them. That is nasty.
Will do 👍🤠
I don't usually comment on videos, but you hit the nail on the right spot, being a WA resident I totally agree with the over priced everything here with no proper regulations in place WA will definitly lose its local/East crowd, people will take their holidays elsewhere! Instead of retaining visitors to our remote places, stop chasing customers away with your care4Fs attitude!
Thanks so much for commenting! Appreciate the support! 🤘
Really look forward to your vlogs can't wait till the next one
Glad you like them!👍🤠
Can’t wait to get down to the south coast of W.A looks stunning awesome video guys thanks for sharing the ups and downs, glad you guys are making the most of it even if the prices are insane. 😅
Hey our pleasure!!it is certainly a beautiful!! Thanks for watching 👍🤠
Awesome video guys.
Rene was just shaking her head while making the milk tart, a bit low on some ingredients 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As long as you enjoyed it, the scores you got was amazing.
Love your work guys and give Fin a extra kiss for Rene

Johnny&Rene
