TH-camrs can't complain about the increased popularity of these places they've been, you guys created it lol
True!!! I think the time of year makes a big difference too, last year we went right as it opened so our expectations on popularity were way lower! 😅
Bit like the thousands towing houses behind them at 100kmh complaining about corrugations
We have been over the Gibb River Road so many times via the caravan TH-cam. Thanks guys
@@andrewt3952 Yeah, I make it a point these days to go where caravans don't. A swag is good enough for me. Don't need to tow a studio apartment around with me when I'm going camping.
100% !! We'll show an area for views and likes but then complain when others go out to the same location ! 🤷♂🤦♂
That was so funny when we saw the face of fear as the crock surfaced 😅
Oh my gosh, I was PETRIFIED! 😂
So good to see you both catch up with Sarah and Keelan. Great video guys
Yeah, was so nice! They’re so lovely! 😍😍
A group of crocodiles in the water is called a float and a group of crocodiles on land is called a bask. Love the videos keep them coming.
Wow! The more you know hey! That’s a great conversation starter. I’ll use that if you don’t mind? Thanks for watching! ❤️
no a group of crocodiles in the water is actually called "shit scary" !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jake, that was so funny when you saw the croc😅😅😅
This brought back so many memories from last year when I travelled the Gibb River Road and Mitchell Falls with Kimberley Wild Expeditions out of Broome. It was a joy to watch this video. Thank you.
What a great video, you guys are hilarious. Really enjoyed the longer video this time as well. Always love tuning into your channel. Thanks again guys.
Oh thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! We’d love to always make our videos this long but it’s a lot of work when we’re making one every week. But we promise we’ll try! Thanks for watching legend! ❤️
❤❤❤ you guys ! Oh Jake your a bugger , Pmsl at the croc and lil reaction priceless ! Glad we did the gibb after hols ! Still plenty of people around tho . Keep on giving and stay safe guys !
Hahahaha. The ole croc trick at the end. 😂😂. Well done guys.
Classic! Stressed me out so much though, I had no idea what he was talking about. 😂😂
@@lilandjake 😂😂.
Wow excellent show we loved watching this, love little Hazel, you guys rock.
Always great fun watching your channel and this episode was no exception. Loved the longer vlog.
Legend!!! Thanks so much for the support Jason. Really appreciate it! 🔥
I really enjoyed that, particularly the last 99 seconds 😂
Thanks Guys
Omg!!! I was petrified! 😂 Thanks for the support Peter. 🤍
Love this video guys! Looks so fun, loving seeing Hazel and the croc, good one Jacob! 😂
Thanks girl! That means the world. 🤍 isn’t hazey adorable. Maybe next year you can come and swim with the crocs with us. 😍
yes today you made me smile, this is one of your most enjoyable uploads. The first time I did the Gibb was in 1991 at every place we stopped we were the only people there, we passed 4 cars in the whole length. You are so correct doing it early in the season however on this trip it made you do different things which adds to your experience. Keep smiling and safe travels 😀😀😀
Thanks so much Peter! We are so glad you liked it! 🤍 That’s crazy how things have changed so much, would have been amazing to see it like that. Couldn’t be more true! So nice to do things differently. Thanks for the love this week, we really appreciate it!
Thanks for all the spots to visit and the tips, especially the “time your trip as close to the road re-opening to avoid the crowds!”. We have a couple of schnoodle dogs, so have limitations too, with visiting National Parks.
Yes! You guys are the 1 hr specialists! Loved this episode, especially cause your on the zgibb! Phil
While I’d generally prefer natural places to myself too, I feel like tunnel creek is the exception to that. Safety in numbers! 😂 what a spot!
Thank you for one of the best videos so far wow definitely really appreciate it Lily and Jake. Those Caves look amazing i thought there might have been Bats might of come out of there. And those waterfalls etc definitely would be a awesome place to go and explore myself keep up the amazing content you both always looking forward to seeing you both next Saturday 😊
So stoked you enjoyed it!! Yeah, they were crazy, such a cool experience. The Gibb is definitely such a highlight, bloody love it! Thanks a million Jeremy. 🤩
Great video guys! We loved watching made us reminisce on the Gibb trip we did last year
So much fun! 😂 Thanks, so much for the extended ep.❤😁🤩 You made me laugh so hard with the croc in the cave Jake. 👍🤣✌️
Cheers Mark!!! 🤍 Thanks for sitting through it! 😂 Gosh, he didn’t make me laugh with it, scared me to death! 😅
Every book Sarah J Maas has written - that’s my recommendation 😉
Another good video. I used to always put one of those internal sock filters I the top of my snorkel. Never got anti down to the main filter. Last two trips to the cape, I swap the snorkel ram head for one of those pre filter jobs. Like on earth moving equipment. Swap it back on normal driving coz they get a bit loud. Way cheaper than replacing Toyota air filters all the time 😂😂😂
Yes they are so good the socks! We used to have one but forgot to buy a new one before the trip. Only place we could get one not online was arb for over $40 can get a new ranger filter for that. We’ll get one from outback equipment for about $15 but get it shipped to Perth. Good tip though! Thanks for watching!
Hi guy's ruff as guts some parts of the gib ☝️👇☝️👇☝️👇
Wrong again Jacob how do crocs grab fish n turtles under water if they can't open their mouths lol or sometimes carry n stash their meals " human's " under water with you in side their jaws mmmmmm think about that one,
Love ya footage ov the surrounding areas traveling through
Keep up the great work and have a lovely time Stay safe and can't wait to see next upload Cheers wazza 😎🤗
@emmalouise9713 Hi 👋 there
""NO"" I am totally being Serious about the Crocs aka: snapping handbags .
If you can't see them/ they'll definitely now where you are, don't worry about that ya blink n ya dinner 😉, seriously do some homework for ya safety guys.
Much luv ❤️
@emmalouise9713 don't worry about the fresh water crocodile their more scared of you lolooo
Predominantly fish 🐟 yabbies, turtles 🐢 for them 😋 ♥️
Lil you are an absolute crack up! We laughed so much this eps. So connected to your inner child!
Love watchin you guys.
And another great video.
You guys deserve more than double the subscriber’s you have.
Thanks so much Kevan!! That means the world. Such a nice thing of you to say. Hopefully 40k one day. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
On ya Jacob helping out some people have no idea what too do you at least did ,chippies look yummy, they were the bomb for me too just had too have em 🤙
👏👏🙌So glad you guys made it across the Gibb !! The bath at Ellenbrae is sooo relaxing 🛀 we had a great stay there unfortunately we came unstuck just after the Durack River 😢 we snapped our crossmember chassis on our van and had a 8 hour tow out 😱very disappointed we didn’t finish 😢 We’re safely in Kununurra now, catching up on all your episodes 🍻🍻🍻💕💕💕
Oh my gosh!!!!! You guys! Damn that’s such a shame. It was a bloody gnarly road towards the last 100kms before the Pentecost. Lucky you’re safe now, Kununurra is absolutely stunning so not a bad place to be stuck! Hopefully you can get it sorted soon. 🤞🏼🤍
Nice episode 👋👍
Yiew!!! Thanks legend. 🤍
Great vid... One Day.......
It always helps to blow the dust out the filter close to the intake. Sandblasting the pistons clean. LOL.
Croc gag . So funny😂
Morning Lil Jake and Hazel, you definitely are naturals at this vlogging stuff, can't tell you what I liked most about this episode because I loved it all, Lil as for a book to read, I read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus just recently and loved it, Kmart and Big W sell it, take care, stay well, stay safe, stay happy. 💃🕺🐕👏👏👏👏
Morning Lynda!! 🤍 Thank you, that’s such a kind thing to say. Love some recommendations, I will have to add it to the list!! Thank you so much for that, hope you’re having a fabulous weekend. 😍😍
Omg our dometic aircon did the exact same!! We got the touch panel replaced under warranty - sunseeker/titanium just organised a local repairer who came and replaced it.
Oh really? That’s funny it’s a common problem. It’s so annoying isn’t it! We mostly leave it unplugged because it’s such a pain. But poor hazy needs to stay cool sometimes. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
Hey Lil and Jake, geat video. We did the Gibb in 2022. Definitely is a croc at Emma gorge on the way up. No tourist furphy there 😅 we have a cool photo of it too
Great entertainment guys! Just a heads up you need to get a Stone Stomper for your van 👍
Thank you! Yes we definitely need to get one! Our van is already looking very second hand. Would be a good investment though, thanks for watching! ❤️
New sub here.. courtesy of Jack and Megan.. great Channel see you guys on the rd.
We always put the sink sieve in a ziplock bag before we start travelling
Loved how you blew the air cleaner over the engine🤔
Tackling the Gibb River Road, famously known as "The Caravan Killer," with such determination and adventure is truly impressive! Your courage and resilience in navigating such a challenging route showcase your adventurous spirit and skill. It’s inspiring to see how you embrace the journey with enthusiasm and perseverance. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
Run all tyre pressures at 22 lb and travel at 40 km and it’s like being on a smooth road . Speed and normal tyre pressure makes those corrugations.
Liĺ, you're a real big scardie cat?😅
I would never buy Dometic ever again after buying a new chest freezer and unpacking it to find the gas had leaked out while in transit, then to have it replaced after it having to be tested for weeks only to find that the replacement one wouldn’t work on 12 volt! We were leaving for Arnhem Land the next day so had to go out and buy something from Supercheap Auto! Never again! 2 fridges, both duds! On a positive note I love how Lil keeps “Kackaarr, Kackarrring” like a bird, 56:26 Jacob you’re going too fast, Jacob literally standing still looking back at Lil… LoL!
Oh no!!!! That’s such a nightmare. Hate when things are faulty but suppose it’s just the way it goes sometimes. Hahahahahha, isn’t he ridiculous. So funny! 😂
Our aircon was doing similar things, got a new motherboard installed.
Love the make-up of your van but looking at that bunch of keys, you the Titanium would key them alike.
Just wondering what type of tyre deflators you recommend?
With u Jake ,What the hells Chicken salt? Toxic crap.Sea Salt all the way
Those torx bolts on the bullbars are a pain in the arse. As soon as there is any corrosion the socket stripps ot the caged nut spins in behind.
Hey guys great videos that gibb river rd looks full on …
When u run the Starlink how do u find the power consumption ?
I’ve just bought one and not sure weather to run it from van 310ah lithium or car 175ah lithium
Hey legend! Thank you! Yea it’s uses a fair bit of power. Between 4-5 amps an hour and if your partly under a tree or something and it’s obstructed it uses more. We swap and change between running it on the car and van. Whichever has more power at the time mostly. Hope this helps
The new Mini, runs off DC power and uses only 25-30w, Mini only just released this week in Oz, so maybe use yours for now as the Mini should half in price by the of the year im hoping as its at a premium 799$
Life of a youtuber, swmming with one hand with a torch and one with camera 😅
All part of the fun I guess but now everyone will be travelling at the beginning of the season to avoid the crowds at the peak of the season and the same problem will be created. Hopefully it'll settle down soon and WA will get back to how it was a few years ago.
I done the Gibb in May.
Way less traffic.
Great video guys. So how many lumens is the pelican torch? I really have torch confusion I want a REALLY bright torch and don't want to have torch buyers remorse.😅
Hmmmm, I have no idea unfortunately! But I think the battery is dead so like 2 at the moment 😂😂
Hi guys, if you like a good book based on a true story and I don’t know how are you get it it’s cold blood money by Tricia Stratford. Absolutely wonderful book to read won’t tell you anything about it, but I felt so empty after I finish reading the book like the world was a smaller place without this wonderful man. Anyway, keep up the good work always enjoy the videos cliff from Logan city.
Ohhhhh perfect!! Absolutely love a recommendation, I’ll have to have a look into it. Thanks for all of your support on the video. 🤍🤍
Wait... you guys are friends with Sarah n Keelan as well? Wild, all my fave youtubers are connected :)
Yeah, we just ran into them on the Pentecost, such nice people. 😍🫶🏼
Dometic should send you a new aircon if its been faulty from the start.
Yeah, you’re right! We should definitely get onto that. 😅
Think I can see a Croc, HaHa Ha😂
Oh my gosh, my heart jumped out of my chest! 😂
Forgot water, but standing in front of pure fresh water
I heard a rumor that there possibly going to seal the roads thru, what do you guy's think, y/n
I think it's going to be totally mental on the roads if that happens, but that's progress.
I still recon it'll kill the hole experience mmmm
Hey legend, we think it wouldn’t ruin the experience, it would just change the whole vibe. It would no longer be an off road adventure, but it would still be a great sight seeing trip. It would also make it more accessible in the wetter months which would make it a different experience aswell.
Woah watch that air pressure on the filter mate, it's easy to blow a hole through, then it's useless
True! Gotta be careful hey! Good tip!
Have you guys worked out what the issue is with your Aircon yet? I have the exact same issue with mine, and it's been ongoing since day 1 when I bought my van new a year ago. I've currently got it in with my local Dometic authorised repairer to check it out. The symptoms you're having are identical to those I keep having on mine. Sometimes it'll randomly change temperature upon start up, or change settings completely from cool to heat etc. I've had P5 pop up occasionally, sometimes P7, and on the rarer occasion P1. Sometimes it just works fine though! It's driving me nuts!
Welcome back. It seems like ages but is probably not.
Thanks legend! We’re glad to see you back!
Great book recommendation
Deb O’Brien A million stars
Australia author, and friend I met while doing the lap. Xx love to Hazel ( I’m glad you like dog Spotify)
Yes!! So good, I’ll add it to my goodreads list! 🙌🏼 How amazing to meet her. Hahahah, she’s so adorable isn’t she! 🤍🥹
Lol at vibrating as much as a nokia 3350, i forgot how bad they were 😂
I laughed out loud at this too!
Hey there, what time of year were you at these gorges? So many people
Ive got the newish Fresh Jet series 7 lite, and only used a couple times, it has done the phantom button press since it was first turned on a few times, only been out a couple times, also had the P5 a couple times, but only got that from turning it on and off and on again too quick when testing the unit, from what i could find it was the evaporator error, so might be from not shutting down properly.. I think this new series must have a dodgy touch panel, will be taking it out this summer n if it persists will take it up with Dometic.. sounds like it could be a common problem..
Yea ok? That’s interesting that it’s a common problem. We’ve got a few comments having the same thing aswell. Hopefully with a new touch panel it will be fixed. 🤞🏼 I love that it’s called the phantom button press hahaha, thanks for watching!
What month were you there?
July!! 🤍
Hi guys, I must say your fur child is absolutely adorable She is so wonderful. She just fits in so well with everything you guys are doing. I have two dogs, one kelpie, cross cattle dog Susie is 13 years old and has cancer. The vets told me she was going to pass away for years ago, but he is going strong and another one. It’s a pure bred kelpie Lily is two-year-old and Lily is like a baby. She loves the cuddle she sticks, a nose underneath your chin and cuddles in from the day I got her absolutely love dogs can’t live without them. Had a major truck accident in 2018. I lost my right leg above the knee., it’s probably only a suggestion, but can you put some Loctite in the bolt anyway you guys know what you’re doing keep up the good work really enjoyed the videos Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia
Isn’t she just the cutest thing ever!! She loves being on the road and exploring everyday. 🤍 Oh no, poor Susie! What a sweet girl. Awwwww adorable, love when they come and snuggle in for a cuddle! Gosh, that’s crazy, I’m so sorry to hear that. 🥺 Good tip, that’s hold them in place! Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comment. 🫶🏼😍
Have you been out to Mary Kathleen mine?
We haven’t! Do we need to add it to the list? 🤍
Maybe it doesn’t like the inverter for some reason
Did you film this in the school holidays?
It was the week after school holidays! 😅
LOOK REALLY GOOD BUT NOT FOR ME AT 73 I WISH I COULD TURNING CLOCK I WISH YOU HEALTHY AND ENJOINING
Do jeito que vocês australiano dirigem nessas estradas de terrena com tantas costelas na estrada só pode acabar com o carro. 🤷🏽♂️
Jake is it wrong to say Lil has the best bottom on TH-cam ?? thats just what i think !!😁
Holey cowabunga dood I think you need a foot job. A couple of times each year we go to a foot massage nail clipping joint, the girls get their toe nails polished etc, I just get the foot wash and nail clip, I highly recommend it for you Jake. Some blue loctite will help a lot.
A pedicure might be on the cards when we’re in civilisation, I guess that’s what happens when you hardly ever wear shoes hahaha, thanks for watching! ❤️
It could be your voltage is not stable.
🌹🪃🪃🦘🦘🪃🪃🌹
How about a bit less of "last time we were here". Love your vids keep them coming
Sorry, it’s hard to compare when last time was so empty! Cheers for the love on the vid! 🤩
Deepest sympathies for your loss ❤. “Hot bod Hilux” or “Herbie Hilux” or “Hightower Hilux”
wow, that was a lot of whining
Awesome video and Lil is super hot
Hey there, what time of year were you at these gorges? So many people
Hey!! We went in July this year. 😅
@@lilandjake thanks for getting back to us.
Not a stress at all! Hopefully you can plan a good time to visit. 🙌🏼
