Exploring James Price Point & Barred Creek! | WA West Coast

Oh my god. We've just hit the dirt going into James Price Point and the dirt road is corrugated and we're not very happy campers right now because we're a bit sick of corrugations but that's okay. Hopefully it's worth it. It's only 30kms of corrugations but yeah not fun, not fun at all once you've just spent three weeks on the gear. We have made it. This is the setup. How beautiful is that? The beach now, for a little walk. Yeah, come for a little walk. Still very windy. Along the beach. Yeah, the water color's not very nice either. There's not really that much to do here. Just flying the drone. This is our setup for the afternoon. The sun's setting. How gorgeous. So we're just gonna sit here on the cliffs, have a picnic, watch the sunset in front of us, and chill out. This is me. Sun is going down. Oh yeah, yeah, the moon, yep, up there. Everyone. If you haven't seen a moon before, holy ----. I think I nearly clipped my ear. What do you think, Tony? Oh, I don't know. Last light at James Price Point. And then we are off to Bard Creek tomorrow. More rough roads. Let's go. Everybody, I've just woken up, as you can probably tell. But I've quickly gotten out of the rooftop because look at the sky. How beautiful is that? Absolutely stunning. Wow. I can't believe that. this is a free camp so beautiful here it's a camp on the cliffs right in front of the ocean it's amazing if you do the gib from the east to the west like we did you're definitely over the corrugations like it was quite painful to drive up here but stunning so beautiful like that is just such a dream to wake up to so lucky so i'm gonna make us some coffees now wait wait for luke to It's time to get out. And then we will head to Bard Creek today, which is meant to be just as beautiful. He's always the last one to get out. Look at that sunrise. Yeah, it's beautiful. Mm-hmm. I'll walk you through our little coffee routine because I love to see what people's coffee setups are when they're on the road. We ice. Always get ice trays with lids. Ours are just from Timu, I think. And then this tray are from friends. I think that's like the tray that the king's fridge comes with. Look at my eyes. Yeah, lids are good on ice trays for traveling lodges. Next thing is our little espresso. This is the coffee machine we use. It's the Nespresso Impressa, I believe. It fits perfectly in our pullout drawers on the other side of the canopy. That's why we went with this one. It's also compact and we love it. Luke, do you want to turn the inverter on? On. Beautiful. Turn her on the wall. Now she's just heating up. Fill this bad boy up with water. Simple stuff. In the pod goes. And then Luke and I do two pods each for a little double shot. And we just have it like that. Over ice. Black over ice. Beautiful. And that's it. She is done. I have mine with a straw. Turn her off. Turn the inverter off. Beautiful. And that's your morning coffee. Coffee with a view. How good is that? We are on our way now to Bard Creek. We are just driving down Bard Creek Road and the corrugations aren't amazing so we're just slowly trekking along and yeah hopefully we can get a really nice spot. What do you think we're gonna try? We're gonna have a look. Yeah the track that we've been driving on through the shrubs is really tight so we thought driving along the beach might Which might be a bit better. And towing a boat on it is just stupid. Yeah, if anyone coming here... With a boat and a trailer, pay to put it somewhere in storage before doing Bard Creek. If you're not going to take it out of Bard Creek, like we're not. Oh my gosh, have you ever seen anything so beautiful? So this is camp for the next night, maybe two. How good is the view? It is absolutely breathtaking. We're down to the water, but we're all too scared to get in. So beautiful, but you just never know. Shayla's done well. She's the, she's the, We're at the furthest in, so I think it's a no-go for a swim. It's the early afternoon now, we thought that we would go for a walk down to the creek mouth where the mangroves are to see if we can get a mud crab because Luke wants to catch a mud crab. So we're just walking down to the river now, but it's low tide and it looks, it looks much clearer now, but it's crazy how empty this beach is. For such a pretty beach there's barely anyone here. Like there's one car over there, two cars over there. Yeah you can also walk across to that point there now. The tide's dropped. What? What do you think that is? Is it a croc? No. No, no ----. No, it's not a croc. No ----. Maybe it's a shark. Let me get a cast at it. Or maybe it could be a dolphin. No. There he is. That is so funny. Update. 20 minutes and surprise surprise no mud crab. Well let's be fair, Tani doesn't give me any time to freaking catch one. That's a big mud crab hole that one. You don't want to show? Show the hole. Now if there's not a mud crab in here, which I don't think there is, I'll just shove the stick up there, but that goes like a good 80 centimeters up the back. How's there not one in there? For dinner tonight I'm making battered fish with the fish that we got in Middle Lagoon. So this is our simple batter recipe. Starting with some plain flour. We're doing roughly a cup. But we don't have any measuring utensils here. So it's all by eye. But roughly a cup. And baking powder. Because it's plain flour. So we'll do roughly a teaspoon and a half. Which again, an eyeball. Oh Jesus. However much makes the bowl. I'm just giving that a good mix because when we add the beer we don't want to over mix the batter. So make sure that that is all well combined. Lovely. And then the beer, Luke's beer. So we'll do gay much all in the consistency of the batter. Just a bit more. Small amount at a time. Which will be perfect. Okay. Okay, show us. So this is how you test your batter. Get some on your fork or your spoon and it's meant to have a consistent slow run like that. So you know your batter is runny enough. Gorgeous. All right, now Cobia from the fridge. Cobia, I'm gonna cut her up. Pumbaa's having a smell, eh? Just bite its size pieces. This is? Yep. We have just turned the inverter on. Now I'm just going to put a generous amount of oil in the pan. And I've set her to high temp. We've got, we're running with 240 for now. The fish is going in the batter. So we'll just get each piece nice and coated. And do the flip. Oh, that's beautiful. Try spreading them around the back. Yeah. Too hot in the middle. Yummy. That one's very good. Yum. Yum. This is the finished product. Yum. Yum. It's a bit windy, but have a look at that. Beautiful. Fish wrap time. Wrap combo coming up. Beautiful. Shallow fried kaya. Do you want to turn the inverter off, Dave? I'll take that. Turn this inverter off. Beautiful. And I will take that. She's done. Going to play battered kaya up. Still a little taste test. Delicious. She's delicate. The batter's delicate. Bit of 4X gold flavour too. Get yourself a wrap like Luke. Luke's getting the wrap. Wrap combo. What about you? Happy days. Yummy. When the food's that good. kaya up. Wrap combo. Yum. Much better than that. The sun. Almost set. How beautiful. Absolutely stunning. It just lights up this place, gorgeous. The scenes here are just beautiful. Yeah, bud. Wow. How good is that? Bard Creek, amazing, 10 out of 10. We love it here. We will definitely be back during our time in Broome. Sunset is beautiful. Yeah. Beach is beautiful. Reminds me of Fraser Island, actually. Yeah, it's stunning. Just minus the sunset. I reckon the views tomorrow will be gorgeous as well, during the sunrise. Yeah, beautiful. One last look before the sun drops. It just keeps falling down, the sun drops so quickly. We are a real life drone up here. And that's it, the end to our day in Bard Creek. Looks nice, pretty gather. Just got up this morning, had a coffee, packing up camp at Bard Creek. Another beautiful, just reminds me of Fraser Island so much. So we're just going to pack up camp this morning and then start heading towards, start heading back to Broome. And yeah, we're in the caravan park for the next few days and we are probably going to take the boat out tomorrow because the wind is supposed to come good. Tani's here doing the work, like the good housewife she is. Housewife? I don't know why. Oh, beautiful spot. We're just dropping. This current is crazy, absolutely insane. Flat out trying to get on the bottom here. It's absolutely ripping. Let's actually get the jig on the bottom and she, oh that was a bite. I dropped him. I don't know what he was. There are heaps of Spanish here. Quick. Yep. Yep. Got him? Yeah, you got him. You got him. Oh, he's a good fish. Babe, get out of my way. Hey, hey, chill. Hopefully he's not on the leader. All right, Tani's hooked up. Spanish mack on the jig. Oh. You got him in the side of the mouth. He's all good there. You got him? Oh, it's not a Spanish. Oh, ----. You lose it? Oh, sure. Is it? I'm kidding, babe. Holy ----. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, babe. Leave it, leave it, leave it. Yep. He's going to chew through it. Come on, chew through it. He had the bottom half, so that's probably okay. I think he snapped us off. Gone. At least we've got our leader back. Tanya, you dick around, eh? You dick around. What do you want me to do? You were like, where's the lip grease? What do you want me to do? You've got to gaff it. No, we're releasing it. Talk us through it. Holy ----, that was a big shark. Oh, like it wasn't a Spanish mackerel, that's right. It's a little grey mackerel. All right, rain's just rolled in. We might move on to another spot, I think. Yeah, now that we've brought the sharks. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we've just pulled up at another spot. Tiny's got a jig on. I've got this big plastic. Let's see what we can see. It's a bit deeper here. Luke is on. Oh, I don't know. It's a good size. Oh, I hope not. No, I don't think it's a shark. I need to get it up, though. Get that net ready. I reckon it's something good. Oh, that might be shark. Yeah, that's shark. Oh man, Kidding me. Damn it. That was a good fish. Far out, shark just clean snapped me. I reckon that was either a big trout or a big tusky. Had massive head shakes. Hog. All right, we're going down again. New plastic tied on. Now if I hook on, just gonna rip this as hard as I possibly can. How hard's the current going? Five speed current at the moment. Slowing down, which is good. does trick me though yep there you go fish yep there's a big shark up its ass holy yeah i think it is a stripey actually i have never seen sharks like this oh i thought i would have had that too this is just insane all right we're dropping back down if we get sharked one more time we need to move they're just too quick wow look at them there's two of them they're just hanging off the boat yeah look at it that's just yeah we're gonna have to change location just not even worth It's one of those little bloody hussar or stripy. Let's let him go. We are just heading back in now on the high tide, see if we can get this boat out. We'll see how we go. Good. The motor run now. Sharks, every fish we caught, sharks. Yeah. Arnie's mackerel. Crazy sharks, yeah. Catching some more good fish. I'll definitely hook something good.
