🌅 Embracing the serenity of nature, standing on our ‘front porch’ that's actually a cliff overlooking the bay, our trusty Titanium parked behind us. 🚐🌊 There's something magical about the gentle breeze, the mesmerizing sunset hues, and the sound of crashing waves below. Not to mention the whales, 🐳 dolphins🐬 sharks 🦈 and rays we’ve spotted from up here! 😍🌊🧡 Grateful for these precious moments of tranquility and adventure, creating unforgettable memories together. 🌄✨ #naturelovers #caravanlife #sunsetviews #oceanvibes #cherishingmoments #aussiedestinationsunknown #aduwa #penderbay #westernaustralia #travelcouple #australia #travelaustralia #vanlife #titaniumcaravans #gopro #tinyplanet #dampierpeninsula #knobbynation #knobby 😁
We hit the dusty, corrugated road to Pender Bay fully prepared with lowered tyre pressures and the van properly packed. What we weren’t prepared for was a bushfire 😱 We ended up cruising through the smoke praying the fire wasn’t too close 🙏🏼🔥Thankfully it wasn’t and we can see it burning from our cliff top view over the water where we are camped. It was a different story for the Holliers from Campedia who joined us the following day - they had to wait as the fire had jumped the road - and they had to drive between the flames 😱🥵
We can see it across the bay from our campsite - it seems to spark late in the afternoons and burns into the night and is out by morning. The caretaker here mentioned it was a burn off but who knows 🤔 It’s not as bad today … but who knows what will happen when the windy weather hits tomorrow!

🌅 Pender Bay Escape, 200km north of Broome - a tranquil oasis in busy Western Australia! 🌊 We are embracing the peace & quiet of this secluded paradise, where dolphins & whales splash around in the azure waters, and adorable hermit crabs scuttle along the shore with their precious shells. 🦀 And don't worry, no crocs have shown up yet! 🐊 🙌
The recent bushfires have painted the sun, sky, and water in stunning hues of red & orange, creating a surreal and mesmerizing landscape. So glad we are here for a full week! 🌞🔥

Feeling completely weightless as I float in one of the many mesmerizing rock pools at Coconut Wells near Broome during low tide 🌊🥥 The clear turquoise waters surround me, creating a perfect oasis amidst the stunning natural beauty. 🏝️🌞 Nature’s tranquil embrace, letting go of all worries and just being in the moment. 🧘♀️🌅 Ps. While setting up for this shot I had lots of prawns crawling over my feet and little fish nibbling! I felt like I was getting a pedicure! 😂

Coconut Wells, Broome. Absolute magic 😍 We arrived at full tide and the beach was stunning! 🏝️ White sand, blue sky and the most incredible coloured water. As the tide kept coming in I jumped into the inlet with my floatie and enjoyed the ride! Chris flicked the drone up. As the tide went out, Chris joined me and we floated out together 🥰 Ah the romance of it all 😆 A local dog named Sal joined us for the entire ‘journey’ out to sea and back along the beach! If you spot her on your Coconut Wells adventures, give her a pat. She loves it! 🐶 We are so in love we went two days in a row! 🩵💦🤍💦🩵 Ps. Yes, a 3 metre salty was spotted here a couple of months ago but it seems to be all clear now 🐊😅

Another awesome day spent with my dad here at Barn Hill before he heads back to Tasmania! We headed north up the beach, past The Lost City until we couldn’t go any further and found this incredible spot! I even found what looked like an elevated rock pool so I climbed up and sat in it for a while. I felt a bit like the ocean queen 🌊 👸😆 It was just over 6km return and absolutely wonderful! Lots to see and lots of time to chat with dad 🫶🏼

The cat’s out of the bag! Chris has flown back to Brisbane to surprise Cooper for his 18th birthday and my dad has flown up from Tasmania! Dads never been to this part of Australia before 🥰 We are here at Barn Hill Station (near Broome) and today we explored ‘The Lost City’ and found the rock pools 💦😁 This place is truly incredible and it’s the BEST being able to share it with my dad for the next few days. Have you even flown your family to visit while you’ve been off adventuring? 💙❤️🧡🩵🤍😁

No professional photos today - we were too busy relaxing on the beach here at Barn Hill Station! We couldn’t not snap a few pics on the iPhone though - I mean seriously, how beautiful is this place? The red cliffs are starting to reappear - we haven’t really seen them since Francois Peron. WA just keeps getting better and better!!🧡🩵❤️💙😁
Have you been to Barn Hill? What did you think? Might give the lawn bowls a crack 😜

Beach days are the best days! We got up, did a workout, ate a breaky of eggs on freshly baked sourdough then hit the beach and stayed there aaaalllll day ☀️ 30°c and a light breeze plus zillions of shells, a good book, an arvo snooze, a bit of a splash and enjoying each others company was just what the doctor ordered 😁 PS. As the tide goes out gazillions of sand dollars appear! If you’re a shell enthusiast like me, you’ll know how flippin’ exciting that is! And they’re the BIGGEST ones we’ve ever seen 😍 What’s your favourite beach to collect shells - and what’s your favourite shell? Are beach days your thing? Eighty Mile Beach is definitely our favourite for shells!! 🙌🏼

I LOVE SHELLS!!! And 80 Mile Beach is the BEST shell beach I’ve been to yet 😍 These were all collected in about 3 hours (amongst reading, tanning and other beach activities) 💙🩵🤍 And … the BIIIIIG shells are way further down. Can’t wait to see what I can find there 🐚🩷
Ps. No, I’m not taking them all with me. Yes, I made sure nothing was alive in them. And yes, it’s legal to collect shells here (there are bagging limits same as fish) 👍🏼

Our beautiful friend Emma who used to work at @caravanscoffscoast and has now moved to Port Hedland took us to the other side of the port tonight for sunset. It was awesome!! 😍 We saw 2 trains moving veerrrrrrry slowly (plenty of time for selfies!), a ship being guided out by the tugs, the tugs all parked up, the incredible sunset over the water from some hectic rocks plus we got to see the place lit up like a small city on the drive home. 😍
Port Hedland is a MUST SEE - worth more than an overnight stop for sure. The tours were booked out for the next week (would have loved to have done the salt tour!) so if you are planning on stopping for a while and exploring, book the tours ahead. We stayed at the free camp (3 night max) but there’s a caravan park here as well 😁

This morning after brekkie we headed down to the port of Port Hedland and were blown away by how much is going on down there! Day in, day out.
We were given so many stats - the numbers are getting confused in my brain but I’ll try and remember 🤪 We spoke to a train driver for BHP who was full of info!
- 300 million dollars per day passes through this port
- It’s one of the largest mineral ports in the world
- It takes 4 trains to fill one ship with iron ore
- Each train delivers about 40,000 tonnes
- There’s one train every hour, 24 hours a day
- It takes about 24 hours to fill a ship
- It takes aaaages for the ships to be gently guided out once full
- The bottom of the ship is ridiculously close to the ocean floor when it heads out at high tide (like a foot or two!)
- There are 6 berths in the port and 2 out at sea (where the ships anchor & wait to come in. We counted 14!)
- The pilots are choppered out to the ships
- The square red & white flag means there’s a pilot on board
Unfortunately we’ve been offered tours of the port but are leaving in the morning 😫

📍Hancock Gorge, Kermits Pool Class 5.
1.5 km return. Allow 2 hours.’ This was my favourite for sure, 😁💦🙌🏼 I kept my wetsuit on from our previous dip in the Handrail Pool - so I took all the water crossings while Chris negotiated the walls 😅 Yep. I did the full days hiking in a wetsuit and rock shoes! People were envious 🤣🤣 I nearly went under a few times - and my backpack ended up drenched. Lucky it just had my towel in it 😅 I slid down the chute on my bum and bombed into the pool. Chris got in even without his wetty 🥶 It was sooooo much fun!! This has been the hi light of our entire WA adventure so far - the colours are incredible ❤️🧡🩵🤍each gorge is unique and spectacular and the cold water added to the whole experience 🙌🏼 Have you done Karijini and if so, did you jump in all the swimming holes? Did you have a favourite? 😁
‘For very experienced and well-prepared hikers only. A high level of fitness and agility is required. From the trailhead sign, follow the trail to the edge of the gorge. There are numerous natural obstacles. Negotiate uneven rock steps to reach ladders. Descend ladders to the gorge floor and hike downstream to Kermits Pool. Hiking through water will be required. Change your shoes to those that can grip slippery wet rocks. Once you reach the stop sign, return the way you came.’

We fell in love with Karijini National Park from day one when we did this hike and Hancock Gorge 😍 It was a cold winters day - unusually cold - and the water was like ice! 🥶 Wetsuits were the BEST idea we had and we spent much longer in the water than everyone else 😂💦 We spent 4 nights at the Dales Overflow Campground and did all the hikes and swam in all the (freezing) waterholes! 🙌🏼 This is one of our favourite places in all of Australia! And yes - we know that’s a big call! What’s your favourite place in Australia? There are just so many! 😅

This is literally Chris’s favourite thing to do - find a tree, chop it down, chop it up, split it, stack it, light it, sit around it 🔥🤙🏼 Are you the type of person who buys a bag of wood 🪵 Or do you think you’re a ‘caveman’ like Chris thinks he is - hunting and gathering? 😂

Dales Gorge … another WOW! part of Karijini NP 😍 What do you think of Chris’s hiking pose at the end? 🤣🤣 We woke up to a cold (7°c) and windy day. I put my swimmers on before I opened the door and was too lazy to take them off. Good thing I also left my towel in my backpack! 😅 It was cold the whole way but warmed up a little as we got deep into the gorge leaving the howling winds up top. As soon as we came across Fortescue Falls - a stunning swimming hole and waterfall, I knew I had to get in! So I did 💦 It was cold but amazing!! Shame I didn’t pack anything to change into after - ever hiked with no underwear on? 🤣🤣
The entire walk is incredible. We started along the bottom, had a swim, walked down to Fern Pool at the other end which was pretty busy so we didn’t get in, then we climbed the metal stairs to the top and hiked along the rim back to the car. Absolutely stunning!!! 😍😍😍

💥Generator Hack!💥Sun ain’t sun! As much as we love these crisp, sunny winter days the sun sits lower in the sky and the rays aren’t as powerful, meaning our solar panels aren’t anywhere near as efficient as when the sun is directly overhead during the summer months ☀️ This coupled with the fact Chris has been a bit lazy with cleaning the panels the past few weeks means we need some assistance to top the Enerdrive batteries back up! 🤪
We’ve spent the last 4 days mostly inside the caravan, off grid, with the inverter switched on to power the Starlink and hard drives plus we have been using high powered appliances like the microwave, airfryer & washing machine. Now is one of the few times we need to use our ‘generator’ - not the generator you think 😉 Normal generators are heavy, can be noisy, smelly and forbidden in a lot of campgrounds. This is our solution thanks to the amazing technology @enerdrive_australia have brought to the caravanning and 4x4 industry 🙌🏼 How do you camp off grid for weeks and months at a time? What sort of battery system do you have? Do you carry a generator? What set up have you got in your caravan or car? We’d love to know!

Happy Sunday! Grab a cuppa, put your feet up and enjoy the latest instalment of our WA adventures 😁 Link is in linktree bio 🧐 The latest YT ep has landed 🙌🏼 Coronation Beach in the Geraldton area is known as the windsurfing capital of Australia - and it’s easy to see why 😍 This place is incredible - even if you don’t join in, you can watch all the action from the beach - and there’s plenty of it! We show you around this vibing beach camp before making our north, stopping in at the Lynton Convict Depot and finally setting up camp at Lucky Bay. We head off for some fun in the dunes with the Chevy before cooking dinner over the fire🔥

📍Joffre Gorge, Karijini National Park - we did all three - the lookout, the (dry) waterfall and the view. Absolutely stunning!! 😍 And then we had burgers at the Karijini Eco Retreat 🍔😁
Have you been here when the waterfall has been flowing? We think it would be a top spot to swim in summer!! 💦

Who wins the style points? 🤣💦🤣💦 This was Knox Gorge - another incredible hike we did at Karijini 😁 We took our wetsuits and decided we didn’t need them 🤦🏼♀️ It was FREEZING!!! 🥶
Ps. Neither of us belly flopped 😜

We are absolutely loving our time here at Karijini! 😍 We are on day 3 and can’t wait for what’s yet to come 😁 This is a snapshot of what we did on day 1. We left Dales Overflow where are camped, took Banjima drive (the dirt road shortcut) and started with the Upper Weano Gorge hike which was very cruisy and took about 25 minutes. Then we tackled Lower Weano and the famous Handrail Pool! It was absolutely stunning and yes, the wetsuits went on and we went in 💦 From there, I kept my wetsuit on for the next stint (yep - I hiked in my wetty and rock shoes 🤣) which included Hancock Gorge and Kermit’s Pool - this has been on our bucketlist for years! Chris took the high path and I waded/floated through the water in my wetty - my backpack went under with me 🤣🤣 Glad all that was in it was my towel! I scooted down the ‘chute’ on my bum and bombed into the pool. Chris jumped in in his boardies - twice! 🥶 This is honestly the most fun we’ve had in such a long time - we absolutely rate this place and are already planning to come back next year when it’s a bit warmer. ☀️ Have you been here? Did you swim? Let us know what your experience was if you’ve been! 😁😁

Bullara Station - two nights is just not enough! We ate your delicious scones with jam & cream twice, fell in love with your coffee & sausage rolls, had a great time with Damper John around the fire where we met so many wonderful people! We bought your roasts, sausages and steaks, lathered up in your famous showers, became friends with your cows & sheep, read the bottles on the tree and had a blast wandering around checking out all the old vehicles and sculptures steeped in history. To say we fell in love is an understatement! Next time we will be staying for at least 3 nights and one of those will be Friday - burger night! Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and wonderful memories 🤍🙏🏼

It had to be done - our spin on the Iconic @bullarastationstay showers 🤣 These are some of the most photographed showers in Australia 🚿 and until last week they were heated using the old donkey hot water system 🔥 The workers here are very happy they no longer have to light the fires at 6am so we can all have hot showers! 😁 These showers/bathrooms are in a section known as the ‘LAVA TREE’ (lavatory) as they have trees growing up through them! So very cool 😁
PS. I did spend a good 5 minutes searching for the ‘lava trees’ before someone told me I’d already been inside one 🤦🏼♀️🤣

The Yardie Gorge Trail is something that everyone who has been to this area has told us is a ‘must do’ - so - we did it! Today it’s finally stopped raining so we left Exmouth about 8am and drove the 54km south to Yardie Creek. The start of the walk is at Yardie Creek Campground and right near the Yardie Creek Crossing we did last week on our way here from North Lefroy. Currently the crossing is bone dry, but due to the rain over the last few days, there were some puddle on our little hike. There are 2 walks you can do - Yardie Nature Walk (1.4km return) and Yardie Gorge Trail (2km return). We did both as one forks off at the end of the other 😁 The Nature Walk is easy to do with kids, prams etc and the Gorge Trail is steep in some places with sharp rocks - but neither are hard. The views are spectacular! It took us 2 hours including all our stops to film and take pics. Our tip? Get there early! There were 3 cars in the carpark when we arrived and it was almost full when we left at about 11am. And yes - there are toilets and phone reception 😁

We had a few of you reach out after we posted the reel of Winderabandi Point (Ningaloo Station) (drone footage) so we thought we’d share a few more pics including the tight, sandy track to get in. Yes, pinstripes will most likely happen - but they add to the story, right 😅 It’s sandy and a bit boggy, so dropping tyre pressures is a must! It’s also the most BEAUTIFUL place to swim 🩵💦
It’s pet friendly and there’s a dump point but you must bring your own toilet and all water as it is with all the campgrounds are this area. It’s absolutely stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed our day here ☺️

Charles Knife Canyon/Gorge/Lookout is just 22km from Exmouth and well worth the 5:15am wake up call to get there for first light! It’s absolutely incredible. It’s free and it’s accessible by 2WD. What’s your favourite gorge/canyon in Australia? 😁

Old stuff is the BEST!! 😍 We nearly got lost trying to find the old Norwegian Whaling Station near South Lefroy - we went up and down sand dunes, did u turns on beaches that ran out of sand - but eventually we got there and WOW! It’s pretty cool. It’s also very sad knowing what went on here not that many years ago 🐳 😔
A Norwegian Whaling company operated steam powered whaling ships with harpoon guns and factory ships between 1912 to 1916 and the shore-based facility was established in 1915 featuring a 160ft (approx. 53m) jetty.
Between 1913 and 1916 they caught more than 4,000 whales making considerable profit from the whale oil and fertilizer they produced. Then again from 1936 foreign whalers operated off the North-West, killing 7,000 whales in three years.
It was closed and reopened, sold and bought over the years and now thankfully lies in ruins.
Heaps of old, rusted material lies scattered over the ground and on the seabed including bottles, fuel drums, railway line, lead piping and other iron equipment. The remains of a sunken barge are also right on the beach half in the water. Rusting remains of winches, cables and lengths of piping are scattered all along the beach. There’s also plenty of broken glass and asbestos- so you’ve got to be a bit careful! Such a fun couple of hours! 😁😁
One thing that had us thinking - was how on earth did workers get here and live here! It’s such a remote place. I googled and found this: ‘Prior to the construction of the access road the jetty provided the only link between the whale men and the outside world, and thinking about how remote the Ningaloo Reef is today simply boggles one’s mind as to how remote and different life would have been almost 100 years ago working as a whaler at the Norwegian Bay whaling station.‘😯

We thought it was about time we reintroduce ourselves & would love to connect with our new followers & reconnect with our existing followers! 😁 Over the past few years we’ve had our heads down, bums up with the rapid growth of ADU & feel like we’ve lost touch a little with the travel community. Hi 👋🏼 We are Miriam & Chris - a content creating couple who have been travelling & sharing our adventures around Australia full time for 3 years, part time for 14. We would love for you to drop us a comment, & introduce yourselves to us! 🙏🏼 If we already know each other - let’s have some fun & let us know how we met, or the first time we met 😅 We do have a video on YT explaining who we are & how ADU was born if you’d rather watch than read - link is in our linktree bio 😁 A little about us: We are proud influencers for the travel & caravanning industry in Australia, working with many amazing people, brands & tourism bodies to show others how they can get out & explore Australia, & for those who don’t want to or are unable to travel, we take you with us through our video, blog & photo content on all platforms including YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, IG & our website. Links to these are all in our linktree bio.
I (Miriam) was born in Tasmania & raised in Ecuador, South America - my parents were missionaries. Chris was raised in South East QLD spending most summers in Far North QLD with his family who still live up that way. We have 4 children (all older now) who live in SEQ. Chris is an ex-sign writer who wound his company up before we hit the road & I’m a PT & have a diploma in nutrition & dietetics. I’ve brought my business with us filming workout videos on the road & helping people using online platforms 💪🏼 🥑🙃 Chris has a background in extreme sports - racing motocross for years & riding stand up jet skis. Now surfing, diving, & hitting the trails on our eMTB’s is how we get our adrenaline fix! 🏄♂️🚲🤿 We have no travel end date in sight & as long as we love what we’re doing, we will continue doing it! 🙌🏼 We’re traveling in our 22.6 Titanium Caravan & GMSV Silverado HD. That’s us in a nutshell - your turn!👇🏼

North Lefroy - we’ve absolutely LOVED our 4 days here! It’s been the perfect place to base ourselves while we explore this area including South Lefroy and Winderabandi Point. We’ve had to shuffle a bit - 3 sites over the 4 days. 2 single nights and then this cracker of a spot! Thankfully the people here before us left early and we were able to stay here for 3 nights 🤍 Site number 5 is right on the water with stunning views and is our favourite spot by far! The caretakers are lovely. It’s $8 per person per night & dogs are welcome. 🐶 There are no toilets, bins or water. The road/track to get here is pretty rough & corrugated and some sites can get a bit boggy - we’ve helped a few people out! 😁
This entire area is amazing and so worth the bumpy ride in!! Have you stayed along this part of the Ningaloo Coast? Which is your favourite spot? We think they’re all pretty good ☺️

Winderbandi Point on the Ningaloo Coast - what a spot to spend a few hours! It’s absolutely stunning with crystal clear shallow water 🐢🐠 and insanely beautiful reef 🪸 out the back. We stayed & played until the winds picked up 💨
The campground itself is pretty good too! The track in is super narrow and we’d definitely be adding pin stripes to the van if we towed it in. The tracks & campsites are also quite sandy - but wow. What a spot!! 😍 This one is just a few minutes up the track and around the point from where we are camped at
North Lefroy 🙌🏼

We’ve never seen so many starfish! We spent the day at South Lefroy and after our little snorkeling sesh we went for a bit of an explore up and over the dunes, down the beach and came across these! There were hundreds of them tangled up in the seaweed - poor little guys most likely victims of the very high tides we’ve had here lately.
RIP little stars ✨

As a full time traveling content creator couple we do absolutely everything together! Eat, sleep, work, play and every now and then we get to sit on the beach and enjoy the sunset together.
In all honesty, these moments are rare because of how busy we are. So when they do happen, we cherish them ☺️
How do you enjoy down time with your partner?

We knew the Ningaloo Coastline was going to be good - great even 👍🏼 But, we are still being blown away each time we move to a new spot and get near the water! 😍 Everything is similar yet so different. Some beaches have shells, some don’t. Some have fine sand while others have course shells and coral. Some have seaweed and some are clear! Some have steep drop offs in the water while others are shallow with reef. Some have reef close by and some have brilliant white sand under the clear turquoise water. Some have sharp rocks, some have cliffs & some have a gentle slope leading to the water 💦 The one thing they all have in common is the sheer ‘wow’ factor of incredible colours and marine life! 🐠 🦀🦞🐬🐳🦭🦈
If you’ve visited the Ningaloo Coast - were you blown away too??

Warroora Station on the Ningaloo Coast - 2 nights isn’t enough! The 265,000 acre working cattle station itself is a great pace to camp - but the 50km of frontage to the Indian Ocean that it sits on is incredible!l 😍
We only had one day to see the whole lot - and we did our best. We started up at Stevens Campground and worked our way back down stopping at Wedding Hill and Elles’ Beach which we fell in love with 💦🩵
We then came back down past the station and headed south to the Lagoon having a look at all the spectacular places in between like Black Moon Cliff, Sasha Belle Spot and Veronica’s Vista 😁
We spent a few hours on the beach where we had lunch, saw 2 beautiful Manta Rays and had a snooze in the sun ☀️ What a fantastic spot!!! Thanks @warroora_station - we’ve had a blast 😁🙏🏼

Talk about an incredible way end to the day! We spotted these 2 beautiful Manta Rays swimming right in front of us at The Lagoon here at Warroora Station 😍 Did you know Manta rays have the largest brain-to-size ratio of any cold-blooded fish? I didn’t either until I googled it 😁 Chris was so excited that after he shot this he ran down the beach and jumped in with them - he was a bit too excited though and ‘wahoo’d’ and they swam away 😅

Here we go - the next station on the list - Warroora - pronounced “Warra’ which is unlike how we’ve been pronouncing it up until now 😅 We have a nice list from the station of 21 things to see and do around here 👌🏼 We are only here for 2 nights and plan on exploring a small section what this part of WA has to offer. Next year we will be spending much more time in each area to be able to see all the spots we miss this time. So far I can say the staff here at Warroora are lovely, the showers are hot with awesome water pressure, the toilets are great and there are accommodation options galore for people with caravans and without. The road in is 23km of dust and a little bit of corrugation and there’s plenty of space around the caravans once parked up 😁🙌🏼

Gnaraloo Station - you stole our hearts! 3 nights of absolute heaven. Thank you! 😁🙏🏼

We spend the day at Gnaraloo Bay today … and WOW! 😍
Ps. This is my (Miriam’s) drone footage of Greg (@campedia.com.au ) and Chris - I’m still learning!! 🫣

Our first day snorkelling here at Gnaraloo Station 🤿🐠🪸🙌🏼 It was a bit choppy and the clarity wasn’t so good, but it’s still absolutely stunning under the water! So very different to last week in ‘The Aquarium’ at Quobba. So many huge clams! We didn’t see as many fish as usual due to so much sand floating around in the water, but what we did see was 👌🏼 What’s your favourite place to snorkel/dive from here moving north?

A day in the life of ADU 😁🙌🏼 We left Quobba Campground at 8am and made our way slowly to Gnaraloo Station. We stopped in at Quobba Station & Red Bluff - both places looked great! But - Gnaraloo is our pick for sure! This place is next level - this whole coastline just keeps getting better the further north we go! Maybe ‘better’ isn’t the word - different and warmer ☀️💦😁 The beach here is covered in heaps of huge clam shells & coral plus some smaller shells & the snorkeling is right out the front of our van! We have the BEST site at 3 Mile Lagoon 🪸🤿💦☀️🐚

Chris’s first big fish in WA! To say he was excited is an understatement. This sucker put up a huge fight diving straight down and back under the ledge - we thought the rod was going to snap! Can you name the type of fish? 🐟😁
