If you haven't already, hit the subscribe button and the notification bell so you can see when our videos come out. Now sit back and enjoy, we're going to show you a cool little swimming spot at Station Creek before we tackle the beach with the van on to go to an awesome spot called Pebbly Beach on the New South Wales coast. Enjoy guys. So good. How amazing is this mate? Paradise. For how much a night? $30.95 mate. Bloody worth it. We're all floating. Really. How do you come in here? Really. How do you go in? No. Are they cute? Come here. Station Creek for the win mate. Oh yeah. All right, hey, this is where we're camping at Station Creek mate. I'll take you for a quick little spin around the campsite. Huge big site. We've got a little fire pit in the corner here. It says when you come in that you're only allowed to have fires in those allocated fire pits. So make sure you find a good little site like that. Plenty of space around here. There's like camp or tent camps in that side. The stairs down to the creek are just down here and there's a couple of more sort of campsites for smaller rigs and sort of rooftoppers and that parked along here. But we got a good little spot mate. I like it. Bring you inside and see the mist though. Hey, what's for dinner? We're having tacos. Giddy up. How good's that? Yeah. Easy peasy, hey? Easy peasy. Love tacos. We have them once a week pretty much. Yeah, we do actually. Yeah. It's cheap. It's easy and it feeds the whole family. And the kids love them. There you go. And so do we. Taco Tuesday. Oi, how good was the creek? Oh my God, that was just beautiful. I did not expect that at all. Like I was coming in here thinking, oh, just some like brown creek, but it was beautiful. It's off tape. Yes. Seriously. So clear. Yeah. Hey, what I'm going to do now, like the whole point of us coming in here is so we can go to Pebbly Creek. Pebbly Beach. Pebbly Beach, sorry. I'm going to go and do a recce now. It's only probably eight K's away or something like that. I'll go back to a turn off and I'll go in and have a look and just sort of see what it's like to get the van in there. I've been told it's okay, but you've got to drive on the sand and you've just got to cross that station creek that we're in. So you've got to go on low tide. So I like to be prepared and I don't want to get stuck and look like a Wally. So I'll go and have a look tonight. So far, so good. And you can get firewood here too, but people have told us that's not that good. It's a bit green and smoky, but I'll try a bit anyway and see how we go. And hey dad. And hey. What's today? Sunday. Tucker Sunday. You say that whatever day it is. Doesn't matter what day it is. All right. You coming with me Rue? Yep. Let's go. We're going to do a recce. And me. And Bill too. Bill's coming. We'll go and see what Pebbly Beach looks like before we drag the van in there. See you mate. See you Luke. Have fun. Have a nice sleep. I've got Charlie with me. I'm going to sleep. All right. So this is the beach mate. Hey. This is cruising down. I'll put my window up so you can hear me. I reckon we'll have no dramas. It's not even like. The tide's only just turned and there's plenty of beach. So tomorrow morning when it's low. We'll have like a highway all the way down here. It looks like it's probably a couple of k's down the beach. If that. Always a nice bump boys. And then we'll get to the inlet here. And we've got to go across the inlet. That's what you need to hit on low tide. Look out here Rue. That's where you've got to go. There's a little crossing. There's a fellow over there walking it now. But look at that. It's high tide and he's still only shin deep. So. I mean. Come. Eight o'clock tomorrow morning. When it's dead low. We'll cruise across there. Just drive up. Then cut across. But. To get to here. Piece of cake. So we'll do that in the morning. And then we'll check the. The crossing there. Can't wait. It's supposed to be 39 degrees tomorrow boys. That's hot. Whoa. Oh. What are you talking about? Park up on the beach. Have a swim. Keen. All right. Let's head home. Taco Sunday. Ruey. Yep. I said Taco Sunday. Righto. When the gravel track finishes. You come to the beach access. This is where it starts to get a little bit tricky. Little bit lumpy and soft past here. And it gets tight too. But anyway. I've got some. What I have got. I noticed yesterday when I was wrecking. There's a couple of lumps. Next close to trees. This is our airbag control for the van. So if we do get in a lump like this one here. See this track here babe. There's a big lump on the left and then a tree right next to it. If the van wants to tilt into that. What I can do is just use the airbags to tilt the van back the other way until we get through it. But anyway. I'm going to put it in low. So we can just crawl up it nice and easy just in case it wants to tilt. And then. We'll get moving. I think we'll be okay. Very smooth. Beauty. Hey. Bit of left. Bit of right. We snuck through there. No worries. Now we're just going to scratch the hell out of it on those banks coming around the corner. We'll be okay. Have a look. Far out. All drive mission. I love it. This is the beach access track to Pebbly Beach. Or Station Creek Beach. Then we'll go down across the river or creek to Pebbly Beach. But it gets pretty tight. Leave that there. Hopefully don't wipe the GoPro in. Ooh. Babe. Yeah. It's hard here. Yeah. It's happy days, eh? It got a little bit soft there. We sort of had to punch it a bit. And we did fair drag it through some saltbush, didn't we? I know. But you know. A few extra. When the going gets tough, you just got to send it sometimes. And we sent it. There you go. We sure did. Anyway, we're on the beach now. It's super hard. Look at this. Only like probably a K at the most or maybe two up to the creek. Slow time. I'm going to put the drone up and show you driving down there. And then we'll pull up across the creek. We pull up at camp. How's this day? This is just epic. Glorious. It's hot already. It's so nice. It's the first time the Sunseeker's been on the beach too. Oh, look. There it is. Hey, Sunseeker virgin. Well, beach virgin. Babe, that was a piece of cake. Oh, mate. I even flew the drone while I drove across the creek. It was that easy, mate. Do not drone and drive. Oh, it is so beautiful. Look at this. Swing in and look at that. Look at the campground. Can you see that? Oh, my God. That's so sick. That's epic, eh? Yay. We made it, Tom. Can I have this? Yes. Okay, so I found our little posse here at Pebbly Beach. I'm just going to show you. Check it. Oh, my God. Justin's just backing in. I'm just making sure he doesn't hit that tree there. Oh, this is absolute paradise. Look at that. Kids are just playing in a tree over here and there's a little rope swing over here too. So, anyway, I better get back to guiding Justin back or else I'll get in trouble. Yep. Good. Yep. I don't know. It's about 9 a.m., I reckon, and it is getting hot. So I'm going to whack this awning out, put my mat down because it's not super grassy here and there's a heap of dirt. I'm just going to enjoy this. I guess we're going to go from here to here all day. Oh. Pebbly Beach, mate. She good. What are you doing? Are you stuck? You're stuck. Are you going to jump off, Phil? No. You can do that. Formation. Oh, your foot. Ducky, are you going to jump off? He's scared. No, he's not. He's got a sore foot. Are you going to jump off, Rui? Yep. Oh. Go. Come on. You. Oh, I've got my studies. And just like that, mate, we are set up at Pebbly Beach. I'm in the caravan, ready to chill out for a couple of days. It's a little bit too early for beer. Normally, once we finish set up, I crack into a cold one, but hey, you know what? I didn't even bring beers here. How good's that? I'm trying to have a few days off because I've been a little bit silly lately. It's not even the silly season. It's not yet. Well, it's Christmas soon. So I need to have a little bit of a break before we go down and have a few too many beers with the mellows. We're drinking green juice. Dad's probably troubled. Pretty sad, isn't it? We shouldn't tell you that. All right. Hey, I've got a bit of a giveaway for you. What I'm going to do is drop a code word in here, right? And then you have to go to our social page on Instagram, Tripping a Van. I'll put the details in. And if you have a look in the stories, there'll be a question box saying, what is the code word, right? So anyway, and what I'm going to do, we're going to start giving some stuff away. So I dropped into Melbourne yesterday or the outskirts of Melbourne to see the lads at Navigator who were doing all our merch for us. And they've slung me a full tube of hats and stubby coolers. So bloody quality, mate. We looked for ages to find a quality hat. So these ones won't let you down. One size fits most. They fit the kids as well. Stitched emblem on the front so it's not going to fade and go crappy. And a cool stubby cooler with magnets so you can actually stick it on your fridge like that. There you go. Anyway, I'm going to give away a couple of hats and stubby coolers. Grab the code word here. I wanted to call it salty rooster, but Bec reckons, what did you say? Giddy up. Yeah. So the code word is giddy up for this episode. I'll put it here. Head to our social pages, watch the stories, DM us with that or answer the question box or pick a couple of winners at random. Post your hat and a stubby cooler. Cheers, guys. We're going to start doing this every episode. Start giving some stuff away. Hopefully we can start growing the giveaways to more and more value and some really cool stuff. So cheers. Get into it. Time for a swim. Who's ready for a swim? Me. Hey, if you go back to where you did the creek crossing when you come into the campground at high tide, especially with, I don't know what sort of wind we've got. I think it's a northeasterly, but it is out of the wind and it's pristine, mate. It's kind of like Station Creek where we were swimming yesterday. Well, it is still part of Station Creek. It's the mouth of it, but it is so nice. I came for a walk before with the camera just to check it out and I scoped a good little spot. So we're going to drive back down and park up in this little parking bay and then we can go down and have a swim. The tide should be coming in. We'll be able to just like float in with the current, mate. I like it. Why don't we have a bit of a fish? You're allowed to fish here. You're allowed to spear fish. It's a habitat protection zone, but you have to have a fishing license and you're not allowed to spear fish, which is a bugger. It'd be nice just to float down. I reckon you'd probably smack a few flatheads just sitting on the bottom, but not to be. I might have to throw a plastic around instead. But we're all going to go for a swim. Do you guys bring your snorkels? Yeah, we've got snorkels. We're just going to hang out and I'll show you what this epic little creek looks like on a high tide. Look at that. So you can see it's pretty windy out this side. Yeah, fully. We're going to duck around here and you watch how flooded it is. It is epic. All right, what do you reckon of this, mate? No words. Have a look at that. Oh, my God. Oh, you would not know that it's blowing about 40 knots just on the other side of that there. In here, there's the mouth of Station Creek. Look, this comes in here, crystal clear blue water. Happy wife, happy life, mate. Yes, well, this is why these places are awesome, because you get the best of both worlds. Like you've got the surf over that side and this cute little creek. So good. Look at that. I can't wait to get in. The water temp is absolutely delicious, too. You should feel that. Pretty happy, mate. I'm going to go and get a fishing rod, too. I'll go for a flick. I reckon I might be able to snag a flatty. That'd be all right. This is a little bit relaxing.
