G'day guys, we're Strick and Fran
2
and in this new series we're planning to take our quirky floating home further than ever before.
3
Hoping to reach the Indonesian archipelago where 17 ,000 islands wait to be explored.
4
But together we'll first have to sail down the mighty Gulf of Carpentaria, one of the most remote and unexplored parts of Australia.
5
A wild place where crocodiles and prehistoric creatures still rule the waterways.
6
Then a cross into Arnhem Land, a land filled with ancient history,
7
spiritual landscapes, hidden caves and a return to hunting the traditional way.
8
Oh, you got it!
9
And then our first international ocean crossing.
10
So buckle up, this is shaping to be one of our wildest adventures yet.
11
Holy shit, look at the size of those fish!
12
What an incredible fish, eh?
13
Definitely looks like human bones, doesn't it?

15
Good morning guys and welcome back to a brand new series.
16
Brand new series guys, we cannot wait to show you everything to come.
17
But first of all, this morning you can see behind us the tide is really low and there's dolphins feeding, crocodiles feeding, hopefully that means barramundi feeding.
18
So before we go anywhere, let's go see if we can catch a fish in here.
19
And then we're gonna set off and to be honest, we're a little bit nervous about sailing for the first time
20
since the cyclone All different parts of the boat have been broken
21
and repaired and we're a little bit nervous But we'll get to that a little bit later.
22
Let's go catch a fish.
23
Oh, hello guys!
24
Ready for me to come on board?
25
Yeah, jump on.
26
The engine just coughs on a little bit.
27
That'll be alright, that'll be alright.
28
Let's go get some barrels!
29
Let's do it.
30
Ready.
31
There's a fish that lurks up in the murky mangrove waters in northern Australia.
32
You'll often hear them before you see them.
33
It sounds like a gunshot as they inhale bait fish off the surface.
34
And if you're lucky enough to hook a good one, mate, it's absolute chaos.
35
They jump, they pull like a freight train and they'll do everything they can to brick you back in the snaps.
36
You can spend all day getting eaten alive by sand flies, sweating your guts out, casting for hours in pretty miserable conditions.
37
But the second a big barra explodes out of the water, none of that matters anymore.
38
Because landing one of these fish, that's the kind of memory that sticks with you for life.
39
I'm using a surface lure that pops along the top.
40
Fran's using a golden bomber which rattles and twitches just below the surface.
41
Oh!
42
Yes!
43
Oh no!
44
Shooter, I didn't set the hook properly.
45
Oh look at all the bait.
46
Oh there's a barra under it.
47
Oh Fran, look at this barra under it!
48
Oh no!
49
Oh yes!
50
Oh!
51
I'd given up on him, I was just winding it in quickly to like get it out and then he went go - Yeah, not quite legal size.
52
There's definitely some more in there though, Fran, so I'll get the hook out and your turn to have a crack at one of them.
53
Yep.
54
Okay, see ya, mate.
55
Here you go.
56
Barra jumping everywhere at the moment, this is so exciting.
57
Oh, there's a bigger one there as well.
58
The one that you've got to go.
59
No!
60
He spat the hook straight back past the camera.
61
What is he doing with these hooks?
62
He needed this one.
63
It's a very similar size to the barra angle.
64
Whoa!
65
Eww!
66
Finally!
67
This is my first barra of the trip!
68
He's a nice fish, well done.
69
Yeah, nice voice.
70
Good work.
71
Thank you!
72
Oh, yeah, yeah.
73
Oh, there is!
74
Yes!
75
Get him!
76
You almost woke!
77
Ha ha ha!
78
Got another one!
79
Wait, there's a serious amount of fish in there, right?
80
Wow!
81
I'll help.
82
Yee -hoo -hoo!
83
That's actually garf spraying in there.
84
There's some bigger ones too, I reckon.
85
Nice bag.
86
Big in there.
87
Oh I need to get the big one though, Fran.
88
Oh that's the big one there.
89
The little one.
90
Whee!
91
How cool is that, eh?
92
This would have to be some of the hottest barramundi fishing I've ever had, like 100 metres from our boat.
93
This is awesome.
94
Off he goes.
95
There's some big ones in here.
96
Let's have another crack.
97
Oh yes!
98
That was a huge bull.
99
Yeah.
100
How good was that?
101
He feels like a fish.
102
Oh!
103
Wow, he just looked at us and smatted out.
104
Even the bigger one, eh?
105
When they hit it on the surface, so exciting.
106
Oh yeah, yes!
107
I can't believe this spot!
108
This spot is incredible!
109
Every cart!
110
I've never had parafishing like this, hey?
111
This is amazing!
112
I thought we might have...
113
Oh! jumping out the back this one could be lunch Fran
114
look look look yeah you go go you might be too
115
small as well you go for try for a double double hook up Fran it's not fighting much double hook up
116
spit it did he? yeah catch and release how's that though what an awesome fishing session.
117
Catch and release on your one?
118
Yeah.
119
This one is gonna be lunch.
120
It's just big enough for us.
121
And it just started raining.
122
What a timing.
123
Back to Rummy.
124
Fish fillets in cubes going straight in the fridge.
125
And now we're gonna embrace the rain and go get some coconuts.
126
There's a heap of old boats washed in on the beach here, tenders there, a lot of junk.
127
I wonder if this is from that recent cyclone or whether it's a bit older.
128
Let's have a walk and see what else we can find.
129
So have a look at the quartz, the huge stone on the back of the...
130
Right next to the boat.
131
How good is that?
132
It's pretty good, eh?
133
Something in the air at the moment.
134
The barra absolutely chewing the heads off.
135
Packing up is not going to be easy on this trip.
136
We have all the toys.
137
Surfboards, spear guns, bow and arrows, you name it.
138
And all has to go into the hulls.
139
Yum, thank you very much, it looks amazing.
140
Barra alone wants to eat at the front so No,
141
make it full Yum! So good.
142
This is the softest fish I bet they had.
143
Yeah?
144
So soft, it melts in your mouth.
145
No, it doesn't get much fresher I suppose.
146
I don't think it's the last meal barramundi we'll be having anytime soon.
147
There's a few around isn't there?
148
Taste?
149
Five out of five.
150
Five out of five?
151
I agree.
152
You believe it?
153
One out of five today.
154
Today, yeah, very easy.
155
You're everywhere.
156
Alright, I think we're all ready to go.
157
How are you feeling?
158
Nervous, to be honest.
159
I haven't been this nervous since our first sail.
160
Obviously, the boat's been to Recycline.
161
We've done a bit of work to it, just fingers crossed everything holds.
162
At the moment, the sound doesn't want to turn on.
163
And it's so shallow.
164
Far out, good job.
165
Really narrow.
166
We're gonna build a guitar.
167
Yep.
168
We're gonna show a little bit of a piece.
169
We're going the right direction now.
170
We sort of got all tangled up and had to go the wrong way for a little bit.
171
But I think we're all good now.
172
There's been a crocodile right here in this spot.
173
That has been watching us every night having a shower.
174
Excited?
175
Yeah, I'm very excited.
176
It's perfect conditions.
177
It's quiet, not quiet, it's quiet and there's wind.
178
Alright, so far so good.
179
Touch wood, but everything's running well, motor's running well.
180
It's now time to put the sails up.
181
This is what we're most nervous about.
182
Let's see how we go.
183
Alright, wait up, I'm winching on.
184
Watch your head.
185
The mast is moving too much.
186
Yeah, we're going to come down.
187
We're going to loosen the jib sheet.
188
Oh wow, that was a bit of a bummer but we're sailing.
189
The engine is off, the jib is off and we're doing 3 .4 knots and there's a big stall coming.
190
You alright Danny, watch out here?
191
Yeah.
192
I'm gonna go learn some Spanish.
193
Nice, good luck.
194
I've been doing my Spanish with Rosetta Stone.
195
I recently went on a surf trip with some friends in Nicaragua
196
while Jack was filming with his mate and I hurt myself twisting my ankle on a wave.
197
If it wasn't for Rosetta Stone I would have been completely lost at the hospital
198
and that's what we love about Rosetta Stone is that it's immersive
199
so it recreates real life situations and you're not just learning words
200
but you learning how to communicate on a practical point of view.
201
It covers a wide variety of everyday conversations from home to health to dining out.
202
So you can build language skills that you'll truly use.
203
For example, Jack has been doing his Italian to speak with my family for a
204
while now and he's getting so much better.
205
Più vino per favore.
206
It really swears by it.
207
Another thing is that it's super convenient so you can do 10 minutes
208
while sailing or while you wait for the squall to pass,
209
before bed, on the bathroom or even when you wake up instead of scrolling on Instagram.
210
We know that a lot of you like to travel and meeting people all over the world.
211
If you're learning even a little bit of the local language, it will allow for a more authentic travel experience.
212
The locals will welcome you in instead of treating you like a complete tourist.
213
And we got good news for you guys.
214
Rosetta Stone is offering a massive discount to all of you.
215
So you can scan the QR code or click the link in the description to start learning now.
216
I'm sure you'll find it as useful as we did.
217
Cheers.
218
Yeah, we've definitely got a fish.
219
No, no, we don't need to drop the sail.
220
It's only a little one.
221
What do you reckon it is?
222
I don't know.
223
We're going over pretty shallow, so it could be anything.
224
I was hoping for a finger mark, but it, uh, it's a mackerel.
225
Hey!
226
Look at the crazy set of sharp teeth he's got, eh?
227
But we'll let this guy go. in hope.
228
We can only really catch one fish a day for dinner, hey, so let's try and make that a barramundi or a finger mark.
229
Oh, did you hear the thunder?
230
Holy moly.
231
Hopefully we can stay ahead of it.
232
Land ahoy! Are you ready?
233
Ready!
234
Oh, it's nice to be back out here.
235
This is going to be Anchorage for at least the night.
236
It's pretty incredible, hey?
237
Those really dramatic red cliffs behind us under this bluey green water.
238
But we do have one issue.
239
This was a shakedown trip, and unfortunately there's an issue with the mast.
240
It just, when we tried to get the sail up, it was flapping around like that, which it's not meant to do.
241
So we've got a bit of work to do
242
and I'm a little bit nervous about that but anyway it's a nice spot to be doing some boat jobs.
243
All right there's something really cool happening at the moment.
244
I was flying the drone as we anchored and there's dolphin mating in the shallow, real shallow.
245
There's modular race, there's eagle race, there's tony and lemon sharks feeding on the rocks
246
and the most exciting part but Jeff will tell you that one because he's very excited about that.
247
I can't believe it what you spotted on the drone Fran.
248
You're like what are all these fish?
249
I'm like I think they're all barramundi.
250
No we've never seen schools of barramundi like this and they're just literally like sitting in potholes in the shallows.
251
It's incredible.
252
How many you reckon?
253
You wouldn't believe it if someone told it to you at the pub.
254
It'd be like in each pothole there might be like 20 fish I think
255
and so like a hundredths of barrel it's crazy
256
but there's only gonna be there while the tide is at this exact height
257
so we're gonna get in the tent and race down and see if we can see if we can catch one
258
couple camera gear how excited are you from one to ten
259
oh definitely a ten you got all the weapons yeah yeah
260
very very excited like we've been droning for years looking for
261
barrel money I've never never seen anything even closer like this this is amazing what's going on here
262
all right i'll draw a new calf what i'm thinking what are you thinking
263
if we hook a fish straight away it'll spook
264
that entire like pothole of fish
265
so i'm going to throw out a lure with no hooks on
266
if we can capture these bara feeding in the shallows like a couple of boofs it would just be
267
absolutely incredible so we'll do that first and see
268
if we can get a bit of action on camera
269
and then we'll try catch one what do you reckon sounds good
270
so they're literally just potholes like this all right going three two one
271
Oh, two of them.
272
Again, three.
273
Another one.
274
They're still going it, Fran.
275
How cool was that?
276
Go down the middle.
277
Oh just here!
278
Going.
279
Oh yes!
280
He just spat it straight back at me.
281
Oh right on the heat's head.
282
They're chasing it, they're chasing it.
283
Oh.
284
Oh yes, yes, woohoohoo.
285
Yes we go up, no. No he's spout the hooks again right there.
286
Oh, one hit it.
287
Come on.
288
Yes.
289
Oh, big.
290
Yes.
291
Woohoo.
292
Yes.
293
Yes, he jumped all the way in.
294
Woohoo.
295
He jumped.
296
What a beauty.
297
That's what they're doing.
298
They're just sitting in these potholes like that.
299
yeah we got him in the shallow pool yeah and
300
that is exactly what they look like on the drone just
301
sitting in these shallow little pools harassing any bait fish amazing eh That is just incredible.
302
We've seen about a hundred at least of these fish right in the shallows there.
303
Watching him smash that popper over and over again.
304
I think he was fighting for it over with a couple of others.
305
And that is just amazing.
306
It doesn't get any better for land -based fishing in Australia than that.
307
I'm on!
308
Woohoo!
309
Nice work, Frank.
310
Get him in!
311
In the city!
312
Great job.
313
Yeah.
314
Look at that.
315
Woo!
316
Oh, catch and relief!
317
Bye!
318
Nice work.
319
Well done.
320
Got one for dinner eh?
321
Ah, ah, ah, get it off.
322
It's just the weight.
323
No, no, it wasn't the spike, so it was just the weight for some reason.
324
It was getting me on a weird angle.
325
Mission success.
326
So we actually weren't sure we could catch something for dinner tonight, So I got some steak that needs to be eaten
327
and then one is going to fridge for tonight It only
328
leaves like with one meal of steak as a bit of a treat
329
and I think it needs to be eaten tonight So Mr. Barra can be on tomorrow night's menu
330
What a treat steak Bon Appetit.
331
See you in the morning Morning.
332
Still all wet.
333
There's a big storm coming Fran That looks nasty This is potentially a pretty nasty one
334
Nice being out here Fran, but I don't miss these moments
335
Where you like just hanging on with the boating gear hoping
336
that the anchor line doesn't drag and you end up on the rocks Just okay,
337
we're gonna drag anchor just in case
338
so normally where you want to anchor is Like to have some land protecting you
339
which is what we've got the wind is normally coming
340
that way But this storms come through and it's straight onshore So if our anchor gives way, we drag, we're going to end up on the rocks.
341
So this start at the end is just in case.
342
There's a bit of wind in this as well.
343
Oh, that's fouling.
344
It's pretty nasty, this one.
345
It's scary.
346
Yeah.
347
It's scary.
348
Anything out there at the moment can breathe a little sigh of relief.
349
Looks like the worst of it has gone.
350
But man, it was a pretty tense hour or so.
351
You forget about all these dodgy times.
352
You just kind of remember the good times.
353
But yeah, a bit of a wake -up call and a reminder.
354
We always need to be onto it.
355
Alright, the storm has passed.
356
We're going ashore to stretch our legs.
357
We've been inside working all day and outside in the rain.
358
We're right.
359
That's right.
360
It's been pretty full on.
361
Let's go and explore.
362
It almost looks like there's a couple of swimming holes that might have some fresh water there that run down the beach.
363
Let's go have a look.
364
Water in the tender?
365
Yeah.
366
We just spotted something really cool.
367
There's a waterfall traveling off the cliff.
368
It's going to be a bit hard to anchor.
369
As we get closer there's actually water coming off everywhere on the cliff.
370
Wow you can hear it.
371
All this water around us is like that bright red color of the walk side.
372
Yeah.
373
How cool is that?
374
Water falls through the red cliffs.
375
We go and have a fresh water shower.
376
Yeah Watch out there's a couple of rocks sinking out.
377
That's awesome there must be like a swamp or a billabong
378
or some kind of a body of water up the top and then it just flushes through the red rocks like that.
379
Yeah so murky you can't see anything.
380
There's a crazy amount of rubbish here.
381
I was not expecting it.
382
Look at all the plastic, there'd be hundreds if not thousands of plastic water bottles just in this section,
383
all sorts of trash, but maybe in amongst it there might be something like a glass bubble or a treasure for it.
384
Out of a different planet, hey?
385
It looks like Mars.
386
It does look like Mars.
387
Wow, this massive shell.
388
You think a croc tried to eat it?
389
Something has crunched it, haven't they?
390
I think so.
391
It's pretty cool.
392
It's very big.
393
Nice find, in amongst all the rubbish.
394
Not the best idea with my ankle like that.
395
It's really hot.
396
I'm waiting for it to come back up.
397
Isn't it quite eerie?
398
There's like a four -meter crocodile.
399
We can't see them, we can't see them.
400
They're so sneaky.
401
When they don't want to be seen, they're just, yeah, you want to see them.
402
They're just along the bank here.
403
Jack what are you up to?
404
Just taking the guts out of this barramundi.
405
Getting them ready for the fire.
406
There's a perfect bed of cold there now for this barramundi.
407
Move them over.
408
Alrighty, here we go.
409
Cheers!
410
Mmm yum it's actually cooked to perfection isn't it?
411
Yeah oh good the chippy.
412
That's probably the chippy.
413
Mmm this is one of the better beach kitchens we've had.
414
Bloody beautiful eh?
415
Crocodiles out the front, hammerheads, sharks, oh there's maybe a dugong or turtles.
416
See that look look look.
417
Oh that's the hammerhead.
418
That's the hammerhead.
419
That's the hammerhead.
420
How was that right when I was talking about him?
421
The hammerhead, he just popped up.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
