Back in 76 when I worked in Karratha and then Roebourne (Cliff Rodes River) back in those days. We used to launch the dingy there and fish out around Balla balla. Back then the Whim Creek pub would have events that went all night. My uncle was a cop in Roebourne. I could tell you some stories. I left going into the Army in 79 but lived the Pilbara and planning a trip back up around June/July. Great vid. 👍
Bloody hell hey Got some good know of the place then mate Would be good if Whim Creek was still a happening thing nowadays I bet your Uncle would have some wild stories of his time in Roeburne Pretty wild old place If you do head up this way during the year give us a shout mate and if we are free we will meet up somewhere for a beer and a catch up hey 👌 Thanks for watching Really appreciate it Pity we stuffed up the audio in this video but hey Shit happens I guess 😬😬😂 Thanks again mate Cheers Brad & Fi 🤙🍻

We’ve never seen one in the wild so was an awesome experience Thanks for the feedback mate. We will have to catch up down there sometime for a fish hey 👌🎣🍻 Cheers Brad & Fi 🤙
Lovely spot. Lived off shore from Balla Balla on Westmoore Island from 2007&8, managing the Pearl farm & charter fishing lodge there. We used to moor our boat in the estuary there on the cyclone mooring, when we went to Karratha shopping every 3 or 4 weeks. You know there’s crocks in there, right?
Hey Ian , It is a great spot isn’t it. Wow. Thats some awesome history and great memories no doubt. Had no idea about the pearl farm or the charter fishing lodge. Really appreciate you sharing that with us. We will have to do some more research into it. Is the cyclone mooring still there do you know ? A couple of people have mentioned the Crocs now. We genuinely had no idea. I mean we always have a look around before we fish or throw the cast net. But seen absolutely no signs of Crocs there. Definitely wouldn’t have been standing on the edge of the slippery bank if I’d known that. Really appreciate the shout out. Will definitely be staying up on the bank next time. We really appreciate you watching mate. And taking the time out to leave a comment and sharing your experience and knowledge of the area. Bloody Legend 👌 Cheers Brad & Fi 🍻🤙🎣
@ I’ve got some photos here somewhere of the big crock slide, from 2008. It’s on a side creek near to the mouth. The cyclone mooring was a big blue foam filled 200 litre blue foam filled plastic drum with a 3/4inch steel upright and loop to moor the boat to & it was a couple hundred yards upstream of the boat ramp there. We used to tie up & swim to shore to get in the 4WD & go shopping till we found out about the crock. 😂😂 There’s a Lodge on Westmoore Island just to the west of DePuch, double story, light green in colour - you’d be able to see it with your drone. We used to visit on DePuch - there’s about 10,000 Aboriginal petroglyphs - rock engravings on there. As well there’s 2 engravings dated 1840 from HMS Beagle when Wickham & Stokes captained her from Darwin to Fremantle, they stopped in for a week. The ships carpenter Bynoe found a freshwater rock pool about 2/3rds the way up the rock from the mangrove creek on the east side of DePuch - and in 40+ C heat they re-provisioned the ships freshwater in 7 gallon wooden barrels from the water hole. Otherwise they would have had to turn back to Darwin instead of continuing to Fremantle. You need a dinghy on top of your quads trailer & an outboard to get out to DePuch and all the islands either side of it (The Forestier Islands group, includes Westmoore & Sable Islands etc. They are all only 3kms from the whim creek river mouth, so in good weather accessible by dinghy from Balla Balla. The lads from Whim Creek Copper mine shot the big crock back in 2008, but other big males will have moved in since he’s gone.- as they get pushed out of over crowded rivers in the Kimberly - they are making their way back to the Pilbara. They were shot out of the Pilbara back in the early 70’s before crock hunting was banned, but they are extending their range back there now. If you give me your email, I’ll share some photos with you. There’s a real good deep fishing hole just west of Whim Creek river mouth in front of the Sherlock River mouth, again reachable by dinghy from boat ramp in Whim Creek at Balla Balla. Plenty of Barra and muddies up the Sherlock. ianmoone1111@gmail.com

Hey mate. Definitely pays to be Croc wise hey. Getting sighted further and further down the coast nowadays so could be plenty there. Didn’t see any signs but we never rule it out. Thanks for sharing mate Cheers Brad & Fi 🤙👌
@@craigtomkinson2837 Thanks Craig. It is so close to home and a handy spot for an overnighter or weekender. Magic down there. It was our maiden voyage in the trailer so it gave us an idea of what works and what mods we need to do moving forward. The reason we didn’t have the sides on was for 2 reasons. One being weight. They are quite heavy. So if we can get away with not using them that would be our choice. The other reason was that they hook up to the posts and we only had 2 of them in. But after that weekend and feeling quite uneasy about the potential to ride off the side of it made us think twice about leaving at least one side on. Really appreciate that question mate. 👌 Any tips or tricks or questions that make us think are more than welcomed. 💯👌 Thanks heaps for taking the time out to watch and leave a comment Bloody Legend 🤙 Cheers Brad & Fi 🎣🍻👌🤙
Thanks you We really appreciate that You would only need a 4wd to get in there if it was really wet Like after a fair bit of rain But normally No The main tack was like a highway Thanks heaps for watching And we hope this helps We hope you enjoy the area if you do get there Cheers Brad & Fi

Nothing wrong with that club guys. I’m the President of it I reckon. 🤦🏽🤷🏼♂️🤣
@aguyandhistroopy 😂😂😂😂.
Well I might take the 2IC role 😂😂😂
had many a night after the pub camping exactly there
Hey mate.
That’s the go 😜👌👌
Perfect spot for that hey. It’s a pity the Whim Creek isn’t open anymore.
Always talk about it being revamped and opening up again.
Bloody hope it does one day.
Not far at all to stumble back to camp 😜😜
Thanks heaps for watching mate.
We really appreciate it.
Cheers

Looks like a great spot to explore, I know it’s a bit south but a croc wouldn’t look out of place there 🤣😬
We reckon you’d like it down there mate.
Was a great local spot to try out the trailer.
Love heading out on the quads.
We certainly wouldn’t write off the idea of crocs being there.
Especially after seeing the dugong
Thanks heaps for watching and taking the time out to leave a comment mate.
Sincerely appreciate your Support
Cheers

Yep, crocs been spotted there for years, always alert around that place
Hey mate.
Definitely pays to be Croc wise hey.
Getting sighted further and further down the coast nowadays so could be plenty there.
Didn’t see any signs but we never rule it out.
Thanks for sharing mate
Cheers

Lovely Ep and area and setup trailer guys, How come you do not run the sides on the trailer,
@@craigtomkinson2837 Thanks Craig.
It is so close to home and a handy spot for an overnighter or weekender.
Magic down there.
It was our maiden voyage in the trailer so it gave us an idea of what works and what mods we need to do moving forward.
The reason we didn’t have the sides on was for 2 reasons.
One being weight. They are quite heavy.
So if we can get away with not using them that would be our choice.
The other reason was that they hook up to the posts and we only had 2 of them in.
But after that weekend and feeling quite uneasy about the potential to ride off the side of it made us think twice about leaving at least one side on.
Really appreciate that question mate. 👌
Any tips or tricks or questions that make us think are more than welcomed. 💯👌
Thanks heaps for taking the time out to watch and leave a comment
Bloody Legend 🤙
Cheers

@@reddustadventures No worries I enjoyed.
Nice vid guys. Do you need a 4x4 to for the track?
Thanks you
We really appreciate that
You would only need a 4wd to get in there if it was really wet
Like after a fair bit of rain But normally No
The main tack was like a highway
Thanks heaps for watching And we hope this helps
We hope you enjoy the area if you do get there
Cheers
