@Hookedonwildventures Hey Wild Venturers Fam! 👋 You guys know the grind – that massive journey from Darwin to Karratha with our boat and tinny? Well, we really geared our boat up for Australia's best remote island boat camping destination. It's the spot everyone knows about but nobody goes to - the Montebello Islands, 150km offshore, and let me tell you, this place is WILD. 🤯 We've spent days here diving into an underwater world that'll leave you absolutely stunned with its beauty. 🐠💦 But we also went deep into the bizarre history, exploring the very heart of where those three nuclear bombs were detonated by the British in the 50s. Yes, on Australian soil! ☢️ It's a trip back in time like no other. Oh, and remember Ricky's mysterious sting from last time? We'll give you an update on how he's really doing! 😉 Plus, you'll meet an amazing new friend we literally met through our YouTube channel – how cool is that?!

@Hookedonwildventures After spending energy and time upgrading our 9.5m plate boat in Darwin, travelling to Karratha and launching to Dampier, we head back to where nuclear bombs were detonated - at the remote Montebello Islands. Our brand-new Minn Kota electric motor keeps us in position with wind against strong tides, while we dive and admire the absolutely spectacular marine life. This trip marks our first time launching from Dampier, and we've been blown away by the incredible hospitality!

@Hookedonwildventures From Darwin - Broome - Onslow, we explore the Montebello Islands in Western Australia. With only one tow vehicle, we couldn't tow the boat and the caravan across to Onslow. With Darren's and Andy's help, we secure our caravan, and set off for this remote West Australian destination, anticipating a thrilling adventure surpassing our Kimberley explorations. Can the radioactive islands really beat Kimberley fishing and adventures? We spent mega effort and $$$$ to make this happen. Others can pay up to $61,000 per couple to visit these islands!

@Hookedonwildventures Day 3 of our Wild Ventures in the Montebello Islands was a wild one - the wind was howling so fiercely we thought our camp stretchers might fly with us in them! Luckily, we found refuge by tying our boat next to an empty pontoon. All the wind apps were WRONG! Our day was limited to beachcombing, snorkeling, and scouting for fishing spots (oh well!). Join us as we cook up the Coral Trout Ricky caught earlier using Margie's trusty SaladMaster pots (our house is devoid of it, all now aboard our boat, Hooked On).

@HookedonwildventuresJoin us for Day 2 of our Montebello Islands expedition, where we venture into the remnants of the 1950s nuclear testing site. Where do we go, what do we do? Why is it that folks can pay up to $30k per head to get here? As our drone surveys the potential fishing landscape, we're struck by contrast of amazing, natural beauty beyond its historical scars. The decaying main headquarters stands as a silent testament to the events of the past. Warning signs scattered across the islands serve as a stark reminder of the lingering effects of the nuclear tests. We definitely weren't camping at those spots overnight! Despite the warnings, we're determined to explore further, grappling with the unsettling reality of our surroundings. To understand why the Montebello Islands were chosen for the nuclear tests, we must delve into the geopolitics of the Cold War era. Isolated and strategically positioned, these islands offered the perfect location for military experiments (and that they couldn't do it at the Thames River). The British government was apparently worried that someone would fill a ship full of TNT and blow up London. They obviously couldn't do any testing in their country so they looked at another and The Australian leader at the time agreed to have it done here. The "Buffalo" test, with its staggering yield of 98 kilotons of TNT, was 6 times bigger than Hiroshima! However, the true consequences of the nuclear tests remain a mystery. It wasn't until the mid-1980s that a commission was formed to investigate the errors and oversights of the testing process. Among the findings was a glaring lack of risk assessment, highlighting the reckless nature of the experiments conducted at Montebello. As we reflect on the events that transpired here, Ricky and I are both filled with a sense of awe. Here we are able to appreciate how beautiful the underwater life is. Fortunately, due to its distance from the mainland, it remains as it is. However, it is for this same reason it was chosen to be the location of the nuclear testing. We can only imagine how much more beautiful it could have been. We continue to explore the islands, make sure you join us for Day 3 of our Montebello radioactive islands getaway!!! About us! We're Ricky & Margie, best of friends, nature-loving, happy existentialists on a grand wild venture in Australia.

@Hookedonwildventures Our Montebello Islands fishing, camping and diving expedition was too good, True North and Coral Geographer had to follow us! haha! Join us to find out what we did as part of our outdoor adventures and why this place is so good, others in luxury liners think so too! We’d ditch society for these islands and beaches anytime! You don't need to take any food with you, there's seafood galore, eat as much as you can! haha! 📍 Join us on this unforgettable journey and remember to LIKE, SHARE our videos, SUBSCRIBE (if you haven’t yet, remember you only need to do this once) & HIT THAT BELL button 🔔 for more wild catch and cook adventures! 🎣🔥 📲 Follow Us for More! 🔹 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Hookedonwildventures 🔹 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/@Hookedonwildventures 🔹 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@Hookedonwildventures About us! We're Ricky & Margie, best of friends, nature-loving, happy existentialists on a grand wild venture in Australia. In our 9.5m plate boat, we're exploring stunning, remote destinations that were once only dreams. Join us as we fish, camp, cook our catches, and discover ourselves along the way. As we transition to both boat life and caravan life (Spin415), we're excited to share our experiences and learn from the road and at sea. Ricky, a seasoned Territory fishing guide, now has the opportunity to share his love for the water with Margie on this incredible journey. Follow along for playful banter, stunning landscapes, and the thrill of the wild ventures. Join our tribe and share our love for the outdoors!

It’s a place where time seems to stand still, and every moment is a wild venture. From being stranded at low tide in an amphitheater of rock formations or in a reef hole, to reeling in incredible fish on the reef, the Kimberley offers surprises with wild nature at every turn. 📺 Our full Kimberley playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfRQGKEN7XOBlSWtNGLUOjSDeaJVfZapg&si=zojYKPA5ivpWOegq And then there’s our home in the Top End of Australia – a wild paradise where giant crocodiles patrol the waterways, big Barramundi test your angling skills, and wildlife roams freely against a backdrop of rugged beauty. This is where wild venture isn’t just a pastime – it’s a way of life. The Northern Territory of Australia is nothing short of spectacular. 📺 Top End of Australia playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlistlist=PLfRQGKEN7XOB2_SxnMLB0qRcEA3FuSvXR 📺 All our full-length videos playlist - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfRQGKEN7XOCSAyt68kKWMSFY_nPu_BvM&si=6aXmxOgXKJekS9nP Ricky flies the DJI Mavic 3.
