You say Australians not proud. I think it all, started when the English settlement started. So it was them that started it. But great travelling. Lived in the pilbra for 28years. A pleasant reminder of all the places your family is visited. Enjoy. Cheerz

Hi from Vienna/Austria. After watching your videos for months now we have to say Thank You to you for sharing them. 2 years ago, we travelled by campervan from Darwin via Kacadu NP, Uluru, Kangaroo Island, Melbourne, Sidney to Cairns, altogether for 2 months, and we fell so much in love with the country and the people. Now we plan for a 4 - 5 months trip across WA, and with tons of material and books on my desk, honestly, your videos are the biggest inspiration for us. We love the way you present your trips, your insight, your country. So please keep going as we keep watching! Peter and Gerti

Loving the series, can’t wait until you do the full lap!

Great episode again guys. Living the dream. Well semi covid restricted dream. Some really awesome country. Chloe will love looking back on the footage in years to come. And I bet she is learning so much from the trip, Which she won’t realise till later.

Another awesome video guys! I love sitting back and travelling through my home state vicariously. THere is so much to see and do that I did not do and see when I lived in WA. All of those beaches are amazing, some of the bluest waters and amazing sunsets. And yet another great Cooking with Cam segment! Hubby and I have collective itchy camping feet and we cannot wait to hit the road ourselves. A little more than 3 months before we get there too.

I have lived in Onslow the past 19 years and spent a lot of time at the Ashburton river. I have seen crocs in this river a few times now and I know they say they are sick but I don’t believe that is true. Crocs need salt into fresh to breed & de-louse so this river is perfect for them. Since crocs have been protected & no longer hunted they have been finding their way further south. Sorry about the wind but it quite normal at this time of year. Enjoy.

The treatment of Aborigines in early Australian history is definitely shameful, unforfunately it's been a sad part of world history for 100's & 1000's of years. A greater, more advanced force/country taking over another, certainly not a unique situation to our local indigenous. Not an excuse though!

What do they actually provide for $24 per night at Giralia Station? I can't understand how they (not just Giralia - but a whole bunch of these sites in WA), justify charging for driving on and staying on land that was probably given to their forefathers (although it was not theirs to give). I understand paying for improvements, toilets, water, showers etc., but a dirt track? In my mind that is immoral and repugnant.

@@MrFastFarmer Yep, we are run, governed and crucified by the all mighty dollar.

The Masters and Servants Act had nothing to do with "slavery" as you claim. It related to conditions imposed on both employers and employed who had entered into contracts of employment. Today we have enterprise agreements under the Fair Work Act. Rather than enslaving aborigines, or anybody for that matter, it defined the employed as: "employed" shall include any servant, workman, labourer, clerk, artificer, apprentice, or other person, whether under or above the age-of 18 years, or Whether a married woman or not, who has entered into a contract of service with any employer, either at salary or wages, or for any remuneration... Where did you get your information about "slavery"? Why do so many people assume the worst of our forefathers and slander them on the basis of smears invented by racist activists.

Gday Garry. I wasn't around 150 years ago so I can only state the facts as they're recorded and presented to me - according to the plaques around that Old Onslow ghost town that were erected by the local government, those cells with shackles were mostly used to hold aboriginals detained under the master and servants acts. They were forced to agree to contracts they didn't understand and were beaten and/or imprisoned if they did not comply. You're right, the masters were obliged to pay a token wage as per the Act. Slavery is my interpretation of the facts presented to me, appologies if that offends you. Call it what you like. On a personal note, I don't feel responsible for the actions of dead people centuries before me. I don't feel a need to appologise. But I also don't bury my head in the sand about Australia's history.
