Private Notes
Jase and Simon are hitting the road again and are heading to one of their favourite areas out in Western Australia with some new spots to explore along the way including a start to the series in the incredible Bungle Bungles.
Jase and Simon are heading through the Pilbara and soaking in the landscape. They’ve got the time, because it’s a bit slow going through this area they liken to a mini Grand Canyon or the Wild West. An unexpected river crossing adds a bit of fun once they’ve aired down.
Jase and Simon continue to make their way through the beautiful Pilbara as they trek from Newman to Port Samson by way of a speccy gorge with directions from a local. It’s a day of water crossings ranging from steppy and rocky to deceptively deep. The marble-like river gravel on the banks challenges every entry and exit. And when the directions say to take a left down the creek bed, Jase goes down the creek bed. There’s some hasty winching to save the camera gear from a watery demise. Out comes the chainsaw to clear the hidden exit from debris so Simon can have a slightly easier time getting through with the caravan. Best to go set up camp and dry out, luckily there is a different vehicle that Jase can hop into later while the carpet finishes airing out!
Jase and Simon have finally made it to the coast and are looking forward to using some of their new toys. But first they’ve got one more day to try and bring in the big one for Day 2 of the fishing competition. After Simon’s red emperor came up just short, he’s determined to reel in a whopper. There are spanish macks and golden trevally, but will the biggest catch be a shark?
Jase and Simon are camped south of Onslow, but it’s time to put the big girl back in the water and head out to Mackerel Island and beyond. On the way to the boat ramp, Jase spots some interesting wildflowers that also intrigue farmer Simon. Then it’s time for a cook-up, and Jase has a treat with Lollipop Chicken on the menu.
Jase and Simon have left the Pilbara and are heading north to the Kimberley. They launch the barge and head 125 kilometres to check out a waterfall on the pristine coastline. They drop anchor and head ashore to explore the falls and waterhole and are rewarded with a spectacular beach sunset.
Jase and Simon are back on the mainland and head from Derby to Mt. Hart Wilderness Lodge, and they’re on a mission to find the old homestead from 1906. But the track goes from graded to ungraded to basically not there at all. They face water crossing after water crossing, and out comes the recovery gear to help clear the way.
Due to Covid, Jase and Simon have been locked out of WA after a quick trip home to draw the Keys 2 Adventure winner of the Back in Black truck! But there’s always a Plan B, so they fuel up at Borroloola with the goal of heading offshore to come islands that harken back to the early days of All 4 Adventure. They’ve even got old pal Stew along for this leg of the trip.
Jase and Simon are starting out in Borroloola but the goal is the Gulf. Before they head out, they take a quick tour of the Old Police Station Museum and are inspired by one of Leichhardt’s blaze trees. So it’s off into the bush they go with corrugations and creek crossings ahead.
Jase and Simon are heading out of Borroloola with their mate Stew. They’ve gotten permission to access the Bauhinia Downs Station with the goal of reaching the hot-spring-fed waterfall. First stop is to check out the pens of mustered buffalo that live on the flood plains of this outback cattle station.
