- We've reached the coast! After an incredible trip across the Kimberley, we settle in for some free camping on the coast near Broome.
We don't regard ourselves as coast or beach people. Generally, we prefer the bush and the mountains. But, this time was different. After five months since leaving the coast in South Australia (apart from a quick look at the beach in Darwin), it was nice to have the change of scenery.
Willie Creek makes for a great free camp just over 40mins north of Broome. We set up on the rocks for a few days to relax, work and enjoy the coast breeze.
Our next adventure was to head up and explore the region north of Broome, the Dampier Peninsula. First stop, Pender Bay Escape. A privately-run campground with its famous beach-front campsites and laid-back atmosphere.
Early the following day, we set off to find a 'secret' swimming hole. The walk proved more challenging than we anticipated, though, and we made the call to leave this one for another time.

👍
Love the pizzas !! Pizza stone would of been handy 😝
Cheers. Can't afford the weight 😂
Looks like there was a fire through on the road to Pender Bay.
Not sure. It was a while ago if there was.
Well done guys….clearly a “testing” couple of days, but you’re calling it as it is….love the honesty! Pender Bay looks great, must get there !
Yes! Thank you!
I'm a farm/bush bumpkin myself. Never much enjoyed the salt and sand of the sea but always loved the big ocean sky views!!
A little bit of everything keeps life interesting but the mountains have our hearts.
Great video again,loving the real life feel you guys bring to travelling in a van.Simon noticed you had an antenna on a pole at the front of the Zone.What did you select to pair with the night hawk? We are looking at the Out There Internet system or a MIMO OMNI with night hawk, for our Zone.Do you run the cable thru the window and how good the signal while in remote areas please?
Cheers, Derek. Ours is the RFI wide band mimo panel antenna (4g and 5g). We currently run the cable through the window but we're exploring other options. It's effectiveness varies a lot (sometimes makes a huge difference, sometimes it's barely noticable) but well worth it for us. 👍
Happy birthday Liz. Remember guys just slow down, enjoy your travels as much as I do , Love you videos. Keep up the good work,
Thank you! Will do!
Guys, I dis love to watch every episode of your trip it is fantastic. I have question we are planning to go around OZ and just wonder where can you find things to see we mainly would like to explore off road places, I understand that we can search internet for this but just wonder if you can purchase map which will list all things you can see.
Thanks so much, John. If you haven't already get the Wikicamps app on your phone. It's a great resource for travellers and includes campsites, points of interest, water fill stations and more.
@@TheLifestylePioneers thanks guys
Another good show you guys. It looks like you are "livin the dream".
We're doing our best, Michael. Cheers.
Love the work you all put in....but honestly guys, enjoy it, take a breath and get yourselves out of the pressure pot. You certainly are pumping out great content for us to watch, but maybe slow it down a bit and enjoy each other and where you guys are. Pack the laptop away for a while, take a breath and then invite us back
Thanks, David! We're certainly learning where the balance is. We're getting better at it.
Well done. Don’t be disappointed that you knew the limits of your family. Amazing ep as usual.
Thank you!
Hi guys keep up the good work and stay safe 🍻🍻🥂🍻🍻
Thanks! You too!
Fantastic episode, thank you. We're booked into Pender Bay Escape in July. Can you tell me what tyre pressures you ran for the Ranger and van for the road in there? Thanks
Thanks. Have a great time. I don't remember exactly but low 20s normally for a track like that, or around 50-60% of road pressure
Thank you
Loved the video. It must be hard at times.
It can be, but that's life. Take a breath and remind ourselves what's important and we usually bounce back quickly.
Hi Guys Pender bay vid looks Awesome, Do you recon a Motorhome can get in there.
On Smithies, Camps icons say a Motorhome can get in .
So would that be the same for Pender Bay .
Good vid all the best😊
It's hard to say. It's a sandy track but probably doable depending on your risk tolerance
Keeping it real! Good on you both. We can relate - non liveaboard Southern African overlanding couple - and we don’t have kids in tow.
Appreciate that, thanks David 👍
Na. Sorry cheese always on top😁
Agree to disagree 😉🍻
Another great episode. Lovely looking country. Coming into the areas I would like to see so Im enjoying watching it through your eyes.😍 loved doing pizzas with the kids , even though the clean up later was a major effort lol, bit like when you do tacos. Where are you now in " real " time?
Awesome, thank you! We're currently resting up with family and friends in the eastern states and prepping for our next round of adventure!
Unless things have changed I wouldn't recommend Free Camping anywhere near Fitzroy Crossing. I have enjoyed the inland segments and your photography so now I guess its coastal scenery down the WA coastline. Safe travelling DB
Thanks Denis. From what we've heard the situation hasn't improved around Fitzroy Crossing unfortunately. Coast run south coming up but we'll still visit some of the inland spots along the way. 👍
As you guys are careful with the weight you carry, which tyre deflation and inflation system do you use as you must air down/up quite often? Thanks in advance. Ant
Yes we do. We have an onboard ARB compressor and digital inflate/deflate gauge in the Ranger and an Airbag Man compressor in the caravan. We also use Staun deflators to speed up the process.
