Hiked from near Cape Arid to Esperance over about 10 days September 1997. Locals called me "The Mad American". The hike of a lifetime. Saw one other person the whole trip. Thank you for re-awakening a host of memories. Yes the wet granite is very slippery...

@KateGrarock Год назад

Wow that’s an epic hike. Was water hard to find? It’s sooooo slippery. Wish I got my tumbles on camera.

@WilliamNewcomb-w6n Год назад

@@KateGrarock IO wore the seat out of my rain pants sliding down those rock outcroppings. Water -- I actually had a desalinator I brought along, but it was heavy and the high effort was exhausting. Did not use it. Fortunately it was September and a bit wet. To the east of Esperance it is primarily granite/other impervious stone... those slippery rocks... and water runs off the upper areas/grazing land and sometimes crosses the beach in little rivulets about every ten miles. If it has been raining you can also sometimes find fresh water seeping out of the sand at low tide. Subsurface water is like a lens and is higher up the beach and lower near the oceans edge. if you dig in between you can find water sometimes, if there has been enough rain. Continued walk west of Esperance toward Denmark. That is limestone/old petrified reef and water drains through. Water was much harder to find that side, but there were a couple parks/picnic sites. I would like to get back sometime, but I am almost 70 now with a late life daughter in medical school... lots of bills to pay. Thanks for all the great videos.

@louisebrownkennett2322 Год назад

Absolutely cracker of a hike Kate! Thanks for the tips on avoiding granite in a storm.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 😀

@Vinceventuring Год назад

Absolutely stunning, even the rain. What a beautiful area.

@KateGrarock Год назад

It totally was hey. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it

@fionaludbrook8193 Год назад

What glorious country and such white beautiful sand. WA is amazing and yes, so foreign. Those rock formations are so cool. I'm with you on the Raddix meals, Best almost instant hike food. So cool having it and that little roo to yourself. Love the bird life and flora. Great colours and views. Shame about the storm, but made for great light and skies! Great video!

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks a lot Fiona. Yes was a great hike that’s for sure. Apparently the roos are normally on the beaches. That would have been cool. But think I was the only one silly enough to be on there 😝 Hope you’re well mate

@anna7276 Год назад

How did I miss this video??? It’s gorgeous! And you’re in my backyard! Loved it!

@KateGrarock Год назад

Great back yard you have there Anna. Can’t wait to get back out that way. Could spend a good year hiking over west.

@fishingfables3971 Год назад

Another beautiful video Kate - happy to see you explore another part of Australia and survive the windy conditions!

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thank you! 😃it’s so beautiful over there

@davef5916 Год назад

what a great little trip, good to see things dont always work out and youve gotta take a few risks on less than ideal camp sites. Along with the weather and tide, I think I would've been pretty stressed out through the night, learned a lot watching this, thanks for bringing us along.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks mate. Yep was an interesting one. Hopefully I’ll get back there this year. It’s so pretty. Thanks for watching

@ingridmccarthy0707 Год назад

How cool to see you over in WA! How blue is that water and that sky and what a contrast between day 1 and day 2 😮

@KateGrarock Год назад

Totally mate it was so amazing. Lovely place would love to spend more time there.

@fayleya3865 Год назад

I’m sorry you didn’t have the best weather. In bright sunshine the water just sparkles with such a vivid blue. I think that’s the 2nd best hiking trail in WA (after the Karijini gorges). That spot on the hill between Rossiter and Lucky Bays (you show it right near the end) is just stunning. That’s why I love that trail in the opposite direction you went, because of that big reveal as you crest that first hill! Next time you’re in WA try the Hakea Trail. The ecology, geology and ocean are all great. X

@KateGrarock Год назад

Oh so cool. Yes I can imagine the feeling of coming over that hill. Thanks for the recommendation I’ll 100% check it out. Thanks so much for watching

@victoriacrabtree8946 Год назад

Just Wow! Can't wait to visit WA😍

@KateGrarock Год назад

Such a cool part of the world. Enjoy. 😀😀😀

@alanholley2031 Год назад

What a place ! I must get to WA one day... enjoyed that Kate, really like and admire your attitude. Cheers 👍

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks so much for your support Alan. i see you are on the black cockatoo membership now. My favourite animal. hope you are well

@AlexsAustralianAdventures Год назад

Stunning location Kate. I watched on a large screen TV and it looked amazing in 4K. Great to be able to go somewhere different. It must have been quite surreal with things the same but different. I feel that way when I go into an Aldi store!

@KateGrarock Год назад

Hahaha omg that’s exactly what it’s like. Love that. Hahahahaha. So good to know it looks good thanks. I’m re jigging a few cameras so fingers crossed for the next one. Thanks for watching

@littleBIGGRiggs Год назад

Thanks for taking us along. The views are amazing. Beautiful hike once again

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks a lot mate. I appreciate your support

@travelwithmick Год назад

While you didn’t have the best weather, WA really is the hidden gem of Australia. It is so good over there. Fun little adventure. Thanks for taking us along

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks Mick. It absolutely is. Thanks for watching

@lameagirl8565 Год назад

A stunning part of our country...the rain brings out an amazing colour to the landscape.

@KateGrarock Год назад

totally agree. thanks for watching

@garrycollins3415 Год назад

You made me want to fly to Australia and walk that walk on a miserable cold day. In my mind there is no bad weather.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Haha it’s pretty nice hey. Cheers

@whatkjsaw4461 Год назад

Granite is stunning. Little skip was so trusting, cute. Such a beautiful coastline, complete with a shot of kangaroo’s paw. Camping just above the high water mark on a full moon added an entertaining touch of suspense to the story line 😅 Thanks for sharing another adventure.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Haha totally. Was kicking myself I didn’t check the tide times. Thanks for watching

@ervinslens Год назад

What a gorgeous presentation my friend , shots are so smooth and beautifully composed!

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks. Was pretty challenging in that wind. Kept freaking out my gymbal. 😀😀

@Lukeslittletribe Год назад

Great video Kate. Loving the big granite bolders and this edit was particularly soothing with the big vast ocean views and music. Also loving your colorful pack, reminds me of the bright colored gear you used to see used in the outdoor community in the 80's and 90's.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks mate. It’s so beautiful hey. Oh yes totally re 80s gear. It’s pretty fun. Though my mate says it’s not good for bird watching 😝 hope you are well. Excited to see your next adventure

@ShazBookOwl Год назад

Hard keeping to a time frame when surrounded by such beauty, & especially familiar, yet unfamiliar, even more intriguing. Wow! that weathered balancing boulder. Love hiking in the rain! And, definitely safety first in a storm. Cute kangaroo. We really look forward to seeing a W.A sunset, and a Full Moon, what a bonus. All I'm gonna say Kate is Tides/Times... 😉 Boy that weather got wild, glad you showed us the view from the car. We're planning for W.A. in 2024. Thanks for sharing - Cheers.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Hahaha absolutely mate. Thanks so much for the support. Can’t wait to see your WA adventures. Such a beautiful state. Cheers mate

@edzeppelin933 Год назад

Wow, what amazing scenery. I need to cross the country and visit WA soon. So much space over there! Great video Kate.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks Ed. It’s a pretty cool state. I’d love to spend more time there. Thanks for watching

@AmyOutdoors Год назад

If I hadnt read your intro I would have said you were on KI... not just becasue of the granite, but the bush, the sand dunes.... everything. Amazing, given its so far away! You're sure getting around our fine country lately. Another wonderful video, thanks for taking us along Kate 👍

@KateGrarock Год назад

Totally mate. It reminds me heaps of the KI wilderness trail. Was thinking of you a lot the other day. Got out to the Murray for a family holiday. Hope you are well

@AmyOutdoors Год назад

Oh nice! Yeah, the Murray is still pretty full and worth a look right now! Next time you're in my neck of the woods feel free to get in contact mate 👍. Would love to meet you and your little fam if you have time... and hopefully we won't have any restrictions on the river and I can take you for a quick overnighter in my stomping ground 😉

@KateGrarock Год назад

@@AmyOutdoors for sure mate. Will do. It’s crazy seeing the river like that. Not much waterskiing that’s for sure

@KateGrarock Год назад

@@AmyOutdoors got my dad onto your channel. He is loving watching all the flood vids.

@youytubey Год назад

Love your journeys and videos Kate, would you ever do Pacific crest trail in US?

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks a lot. I would absolutely love to do that trail one day. Think i have listened to every audiobook on that trail. Would be a dream come true for me :)

@SamClarkPhotographerAdventurer Год назад

Great video Kate! Only need to worry about the lightning when your hairs stand on end :D I lived in Bremer Bay and Albany for some time, so its great to see some familiar territory. If you get a chance, the Stirling Ranges is an amazing place to hike. I miss her so.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Oh man I would love to do the Stirling Ranges, they look epic. I've seen a few vids with hair on end and lighting. I was a touch worried i wouldn't notice. haha. Would be pretty scary indeed looking in the view finder to see my hair on end. haha Thanks for watching.

@SamClarkPhotographerAdventurer Год назад

@@KateGrarock its happened to me a couple of times, with the hairs on my arms and back of my neck standing up. I'm one of those weird people that gets excited though ha ha.

@KateGrarock Год назад

@@SamClarkPhotographerAdventurer omg what do you do then dive for cover?

@SamClarkPhotographerAdventurer Год назад

@@KateGrarock yeah, get the hell outta there ha ha

@MrKeenaz Год назад

Beautiful video Kate. First up congratulations on getting into the alone challenge, I have high hopes for you and feel your going to do great. Second, I was thinking do you see many snakes around the sea shores or even inland a bit? I was curious to ask as I’m thinking it may be too salty for them.

@KateGrarock Год назад

Thanks for watching. Yes i see a few here and there. Not on this hike though. I think so long as there are little rivers bringing fresh water and frogs they will be there. Cheers

@ShazBookOwl Год назад

Oh, and hey, I was rechecking your gear vid/website - Regarding the DJI OM 4 gimbal. Do you take/use that on overnight hikes? If so, what are your thoughts on the battery life, weight & pack-ability? 😃

@KateGrarock Год назад

Hey just updating my response. I bloody love it. I use it all hike on say a 2-3 day hike and it’s never run out of battery. Pretty impressive. I also have the osmo pocket created combo but will prob sell that as I want my second camera to have waterproof capability. So yes love it.
