    Cool to see you guys in Karratha, we have lived there for 8 years then we moved to Queensland (FIFO to Karratha till 2020 - Covid). Karratha has many beautiful spots, reckon the sunrise/set at the salt lakes is absolutely stunning each and every time. Unfortunately we have downsized as I’m retired, so not much space but if you ever come to Queensland again you more than welcome to stay at our place and if you think you can park the van on the bit of grass we have than be our guest.
    We just love your amazing adventures 👍🏻👍🏻

    Living in Karratha for 2 years and just left in May, its shame you had crappy weather. The only time we had weather like that was when Cyclone Damien came through last year. Karratha is usually sunny & hot, especially in winter. Cliff Springs is a popular camping spot..we have camped there alot of times as part of the Red Dog 4wd Club. Just one thing Cliff Spring is on Mt Welcome Station (which is part of Karratha Station) and you must get permission from the station owners to visit especially camping. Since Karratha had 2 great wet seasons, Cliff Spring water level is alot higher than that. Surprised it has dropped alot. Great video, making me miss Karratha.
    Hopping you visit Hearson's Cove... another a great local spot.
    Remember all tourist spot is not always sunny & cloudless days, we do get some cold & crappy days, its good to show the audience it's not all sunny & hot days. I was hoping you visit the south during off peak times as well.

      Thanks for all the feedback Lee-Ann! We actually saw the red dog 4WD club out there when we visited! Had a chat for a while and all. 🤙🏻 we will always show it as it is good or bad. Lucky for us we will be back in Karratha in a couple of months so we have a second chance ☺️

    A spectacular part of the world, luck to see it after rain, it greens up so fast, when the spinifex flowers all the hills lose their sharpness and become so golden. The big round things are the storage tanks, looksvreally cool at night too, on a still night you can hear the roar of the flame

    So those big round tanks hold Liquified Natural Gas or LNG. For other watching this You can go to the visitors centre near the gas plant for lots of info and it looks awesome at night with all the lights on from the visitors centre . They don’t do tours as only workers allowed on site .
    The jump up is so much fun our old car had very dented side steps from that big rock

    • @BigOzExplorers
      @BigOzExplorers  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s good to know, thanks for sharing! I think they used to do tours but I guess with Covid especially, everything like that stops these days. And gas would be so regimented with safety measures as well!

    Hi Big Oz Ex’s I’m a bit later than most but thoroughly enjoying all episodes.
    As a Dampier / Karratha resident of over 50 years I was very impressed with this local coverage.
    Just for some background, I was told as a kid the bitumen section in Chichester National Park around the Python Pool area was has a bit of a dark history as it was originally bitumenised by the owners of the Wittenoom asbestos mining company to enable the trucks loaded with blue asbestos bales to climb over the hills on their way to the port of Point Samson.
    Cheers and keep up the good work 🍻

    • @BigOzExplorers
      @BigOzExplorers  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Kevin, thats great, glad you love how we showcased the area. 🥰 Interesting about the bitumen, I'm not surprised if it went to Wittenoom, it would have been a money making program before anyone knew better.

      We don’t regret the triple bunk as having the extra storage space has been super handy however, on a new caravan build we would definitely get a double instead. Now Jayda is getting a bit bigger, it’s difficult for her to sit up in there and they really need a little bit more of their own space. :)
