Explore the diverse landscapes of this region in Australia, from mountains to forests to beaches. And don't forget to try the delicious Aussie pie!
This week we continue our exploration of Australia's south west region. Sure, Australia is known for its pristine beaches and beautiful coastline. This week we discover more of this and much more! We discover mountains and forests, and local gastronomy!!??? Oui oui!
It is a beautiful journey tinted with a bit of stress. Our Land Rover Defender, our usual travel vehicle is stuck at the port of Perth. We are desperately trying to receive news from its release and grow ever anxious it will actually make it out in time.
Join us for this journey through the south west, and to get our car out of the port!
Until next week, take care!
Nick & Mathilde

3 CHEERS for that generous Australian man who let you use his car and camping equipment. Wish him nothing but blessings.
You two have spoiled our Amarok. Now it knows all these amazing places in the south west where we usually take our Land Rover. She will be demanding to go on our next road trip. It has been an absolute pleasure having you both stay with us. Hearing from you about all the off camera adventures has inspired us to make our own trip very soon. Many laughs over the dinner table and the brutal games of Dog (by Brandi) that brings out our inner competitor. Now Albo is here in our driveway, it is hard to believe that the legend exists and it is here. Bon voyage and enjoy this vast sunburned continent.

The southwest has some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. 14 years ago I did the same road trip, just the other way around. It brought back memories to see the places I’d visited again. Enjoy your travels around Australia. The outback can be very monotonous, but it’s about the mindset; just settle into the drive and chill. It’s wonderful. I’m jealous!!😂

Such a kind, wonderful man, to not only have you stay in his home, but to also loan you a truck, and gear! Seems like a great guy, would like to have a couple beers with him someday! You've really upped my interest to explore WA, and to hopefully do the Canning Stock Route someday! Congrats on Albo being released, and thanks again for sharing your adventure with us!
Hi Nick and Mathilde, Thank you for this cool video! We were a little bit shocked that you tried eating kangaroo! It was funny to see you trying it! It was really beautiful scenery. The colour of the water and the white sand on the beach was so beautiful to see. It must be so cool to camp on the beach... Hopefully you will be in your own car soon!

Those really are beautiful, white, sandy beaches, and clear blue seas, Why are you not tempted to swim or even have a paddle? Is the water perhaps quite cold? I guess because you have a nice shower in your VW You don’t need to swim, but even sitting here, watching from my bed I’m tempted to get into that sea.😉 Thank you again to Franz for loaning your van to Nick and Matilda, and for slow cook them kangaroo stew. Yum yum. A perfect end to their week . Apologies for spelling your name wrong in my previous comment on the last video Franz.
