Hooked on Wild Ventures

WE GO WHERE THE TRACKS END.

G’day, we’re Ricky and Margie. We don’t do "weekend camping" in the traditional sense. We live for the remote, the rugged, and the untouched. We take our custom 9.5-metre plate aluminium boat, a vessel built to take us off the grid and into the wildest corners of North West Australia. From the radioactive history of the Montebello Islands to the ancient sandstone amphitheatres of the Kimberley and our own backyard in the Top End, we spend 6 months of the year navigating massive tides, crocodile-infested creeks, and open ocean swells.

 

We’ve been featured by Yahoo News Australia for our deep-dive into the nuclear history of the Montebellos and our life-changing encounters with migrating Humpback Whales. But we aren't just here to watch nature—we’re here to live in it, respect it, and protect it.

 

Every episode we film is powered by coffee, grit, and a whole lot of heart. Whether we are drying the boat out on a reef at low tide or cooking a mud crab catch on the back deck, we want you to feel like you’re right here in the hull with us.

 

As seen on Yahoo News Australia, our mission is to document the raw beauty of this country, whether we’re sleeping under the stars in a gorge, battling 10-metre tides, or sharing a fresh catch-and-cook on the water. We film everything ourselves with cinematic gear, no script, and no safety net. Just two explorers, one boat, and a deep respect for the wild.

 

Welcome and get Hooked on Wild Ventures with us.
