we are Karl and Katty together we are nowhere bound touring we've been adventuring for over three years now around Australia in our truck and our Caravan sharing our full-time life on the road we take you to some interesting and unique locations along with sharing tips and tricks of how to make Caravan life that little bit easier good morning everyone as you already know we're at Notch point we got here early yesterday morning so this is our first morning morning if you want to put it that way after sleeping over so we got here yesterday morning because of the rain that was due and it didn't really eventuate it was a few drops and so on but it is still coming it's still building and we're going to get rain for sure it's lovely here but I know everyone else has done it and uh sees it's great but we thought we really want to have a look for ourselves and we're at low tide a few storm players in the background there slowly coming if I wrote you a song If I got every word perfectly waited on a thin piece of paper would it make any difference would it change for the better if I wrote you a poem If I posted a letter we have got some hell nasty weather happening out here I'll show you outside it's been pouring all night so what do you do on a nasty weather day you cook up a nice breakfast that's my breakfast for this morning just as I was finishing my delicious brekkie we heard a really strange sort of bang so we went outside to investigate and we found the reason about 150 meters away on the hill we saw what I thought was a car that had slipped down and run into a tree but it was actually a trailer that had rolled over luckily for Isaac and Lucy the situation wasn't too bad although Isaac thought differently at the start firstly we checked that Isaac and Lucy were all okay and they weren't injured which was great second thing is we had to have a look at the trailer make sure it was not going to fall anywhere first of all and then make sure there was no fuel batteries leaking the gas was turned off and there was no damage to anything like that foreign to the trailer looked pretty good to me it wasn't too bad and it was just a bit of cosmetic no real structural stuff due to all the rain last night the ground was wet and super slippery so I didn't really want to drive the truck up the hill if I could help it foreign so what we did was use the tree in the right position with a snatch block so that we could run the winch cable up to the tree and then back across to the trailer there were no really good attachment points on the top of the trailer to pull it back over so I decided to use the suspension arm as it was the strongest thing I could find to hook onto it wasn't perfect as I'd rather hook the winch higher up on the trailer but it's all I could see to really use after we had it all hooked up it was a simple matter of just slightly winching in and pulling the trailer back over onto its Wheels then holding it there with the winch why Isaac slowly drove down the hill just to make sure it wouldn't flip again miles put a hold of off the ground but they're working over you know what I mean well done turn your trailer breaks off, oh they are off the whole recovery took about half an hour and after we straightened up his Rooftop tent they were all good to go this is a good example of having enough recovery gear so that you can select the correct equipment for the occasion from the worst day of my life to like hello, its not that bad thanks Greg easier than me 20 kilo Smashbox work all right at least a little tree didn't break off well thank goodness yeah Lucy and Isaac had packed up camp and we're gonna head out but Lucy wanted to check out the cows and get some photos so here's some pictures of the cows I'm just going to go for a walk out the beach and check it out look at this little guy he's flying along come all the way along here put a bit of effort into it a raft fishing raft I noticed on my way here that there is dingo Footprints everywhere here all over and I was thinking why are they all here we did see some wallabies down here or kangaroos down here yesterday afternoon as well and there's tons of dingo prints and then I realized we come down here for water fresh water because the water is seeping out of the ground everywhere it runs out in into here sort of fresh a little bit salty but you could probably drink it and that's what they're doing this mat look at all the footprints they're everywhere there must have been a whole pack of them dingoes don't normally go in packs so I don't know what the go is there humidity is like about 90 something percent it's pretty warm what a nice place we got smashed by midges yesterday morning now we're crazy oh everywhere but today not as bad half as bad I'd say and then when the wind picked up yesterday they went away so we only got half a dozen bikes each which you can probably almost live with not crazy ones not big bites well not yet anyway we'll see what happens I'd hate to be camping though the other side where the mangroves are I'll take the wind unless mejis tick for cow no wind tons of midgets nope gotta love the Caravan for that except they still get in the van they get in it I don't know how I get in I get in everywhere they're too little even though we've got midgie screens I suppose as soon as you walk through the doorway you could let in 400 of them by the time you get in and out so who knows point and Karl has decided he wants to go on a little bit of a four-wheel drive Adventure so he's getting ready and yeah we're gonna go up a couple of little Hills that are around here obviously small enough Hills that people do get in trouble as we showed you earlier thank you good in the drawing in the wet when it's slippery butt and you made beer kahunas whoa you're already down it's been for his little play he's happy now except he failed on that last one because of the hitch anyway are you watching your husband he's in trouble the other one well done that's enough now you've got to get down okay now you're born for it Kyle was just telling me about how the neighbors that we had yesterday they lost their uh step on a stump on the way in we have just managed to find that stump and now have a flat on the van mustn't be a massive hole because it's still going but I can hear it as it goes around they both look like but maybe one's taking all the white oh my God hopefully not too tired 400 and uh I don't want to know 450 little trip maybe that's why people go to Caravan oh my God oh dear it's been the rims far out as well yeah so it doesn't wrecked the tire dispense the rim wow it's caught the Rim Yeah wow look lucky in the summer stretch I guess didn't even put a mask here at Notch point
