PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE : wanowandthen.com/
This channel and our website are all about Western Australia.
We cover all sorts of topics including interesting attractions, towns and cities, great campsites and accommodation, history, folklore, birds, animals, wildflowers, four wheel driving, camping, caravans, camper trailers, boating, fishing, safety on the road and we also share our adventures with you as we travel around to film and photograph Western Australia.
We may not have a huge number of subscribers but we do have a huge number of videos. We now have OVER 1,200 videos for you to look through so hopefully you will find something here to interest you.
I hope you enjoy the videos we make and if you do, please consider subscribing because that lets YouTube know that we exist and we get a bit more attention from them.
Also if you give our videos the thumbs up and make a comment on them, that really helps too.
Thanks - Marc

To give you some idea of how Google Search AI has destroyed my website, this graph pretty much tells the story. There is really not much point in me continuing to keep doing this.

THE DANGER A.I. POSES TO WEBSITES LIKE MINE:
There is a real problem emerging in the use of AI by search engines like Google. They use websites like mine to scrape the information they need and then when someone asks a question, they supply the answer directly and the viewer has no need to visit the website the information came from. This causes traffic to sites like mine to nose dive.
I have watched it completely dry up over the last 16 months, collapsing by about 80%.
What this means is that Google gets not only the credit, but all the profit from advertising and I get next to nothing for years of hard work and research.
There IS something you can do to help sites like mine and that it to click on the links supplied and not just click away when you have the answer provided by A.I. You will often find that there is a lot more information on the website pages than the A.I. will give you including things like photos and videos.
The future of sites like mine depends on people coming to visit them. If that dries up, as it has been doing, I simply won't have the money to keep all this information online.
Please click on website links and visit the websites that are the ones providing the information. If the current situation continues, so many web developers are just going to give up.
Personally I love many of the great things A.I. has brought to us but this is one area that needs to be re-visited by companies like Google.

VIDEO INDEX - ATTRACTIONS : This index is now updated and working but there will still be more videos added to it in the next week or so. There is already quite a lot to look through so I decided to update it now even though it isn't all there yet : www.wanowandthen.com/video-index-attractions.html

UPDATE: After many days of trying hard not to fall asleep from boredom, the Towns Video Index page is finally finished. There are still more video index pages (and much more boredom) ahead :) - www.wanowandthen.com/video-index-towns.html - Editing these things is not exactly exciting LOL

CAMPSITES VIDEO INDEX : This is the first of the video index pages to get a big make-over and currently there are 115 campsite vidos on the page. They are now sorted in alphabetical order and no longer need to load a separate page to play. It is much easier to use this page that to search through our old videos here on YouTube for various sites. wanowandthen.com/NEW-VIDEO-INDEX.HTML (This page is currently still being developed)

WEBSITE NOW UPDATED ! After many, many hours of work over the past few weeks and with the awesome help of the DeepSeek AI engine, my website is now mostly updated and will should now run properly on all devices.
There is still some work to do sorting out the image/photo data base and that will take a while yet. I am also finishing off work on the video index. The old version will stay in place until I have finished doing that.
If you find any weird problems, formatting issues or anything else that needs sorting out please let me know in a message below.
Once I am happy that everything is working properly, there will be a lot more content added to the site over coming months. Check out the updated site at : wanowandthen.com/index.html

Just a quick note about the comment section on my videos. In order to reduce spam and 'unwanted' comments I have changed the settings on this channel so that you need to either be a subscriber or a member in order to make comments on any video. I'm not sure yet if this is a good idea or not but hopefully it will encorage more people to hit the subscribe button :)
