We are loving watching your trip. Great work, Maxine's smile very rarely leaves her face and you both are always positive. Judy's favourite channel at the moment
Wow so bloody amazing!! You are opening my eyes to places in our country I never dreamed of adventuring to and others too … and Zu Zu what a beautiful life ❤️♥️💗
I literally had the biggest smile on my face the whole way through this. Just found your channel and you are infectious! Raw adventure and just pure fun, absolutely cannot wait to follow you wherever the dirt tracks lead! Xx Chesca
What a Wicked Trip, Beautiful Scenery, I Love when your Daughter Zuri was laying in the BullDust & says to Dad, you Wanna Play. You Both are Very Inspirational & Positive in your way's.
Nice to see this track and Old Andado 30 years after we travelled the track (opposite direction) with out three children (12,10,6 at that time). We had the privilege of spending the night with Molly and having dinner around the table with her. Precious. Looks just how it was then - a beautiful memory. Apart from Molly, no other travellers were there. Wonderful. The Simpson Desert is just so beautiful. We made it to Dalhousie Hot Springs after Mt Dare - and again no one was there. I suspect its a lot busier 30 years later :((.
That was so great. I loved it. When I was a kid in Wittenoom, we used to see great flocks of budgies. I look forward to seeing them again. Your journeys inspire me.
Enjoying your great adventure , from my comforts,of my van, reminds me of my travels in the 70s ,and working out western Qld, no aircon, flies ,bulldust , long hrs droving, those were the days, Love the way yous travel. Cheers Bevan 🤠🇦🇺
Been watching your treks a while now and it’s inspiring me to drop everything and just enjoy Australia. Not sure how long I can remain in my routine till I get to doing what I want . Keep it up 👌loving the inspiration
Awesome to hear mate ... Trick is to set a date ... tell as many people as you can.. then you are made accountable to make the dream possible ! Work everywhere out here !!
We just did this track from Saint Teresa to Mt Dare with a Ranger and Opus 15 in tow. We did it pretty easy but I’m not sure why you would do it in a 2wd with a baby. What if something went wrong?? I admit the adrenaline was rushing with some parts and the scenery near Mt dare was amazing. Be carful out there as we had to pull some people out of the finke George national park that we’re stuck for over 2 hours in a new Everest that thought by putting it in sand mode it would just drive through sand 😱 not letting tyres down and prepared to spend a few nights in the desert with little water and no food. Loved it but just be carful
Only been watching a couple of days , But been binging since I found you 3 and your great kombi. love your adventures and your taste in music. Cheers from an old bloke in Newy.
Love your kombi adventures, would love to know the specs of your engine sounds really crisp and I noticed it had quality gear in it when you had to replace the rocker thrust spring. TIA I am a retired VW mechanic in Alice Springs if you need anything let me know. Cheers
Hey Steve ! Yeah it’s a 2110cc twin 48mm Webber’s , 044 heads .. pulls really well .. We are currently in Darwin .. I am about to replace the clutch, fuel tank, sway bar, gearbox mounts also haha
So good to see people touring in something out of the the norm even as a 4wd owner it's great to watch something that isn't landcruisers, patrols or the like love your work #differentsbetter
I’ve always said you could explore most of outback Australia in a VW beetle......until it rains!! Love the sense of adventure and these guys are chatting with locals along the way which is golden.
Love your videos, you prove that you don’t a expensive 4wd and caravan set up to see Australia. You will soon have as many subscribers as Trip in a van do.
Well done guys, your doing great. I seen your kombi in Newcastle. I've just came back from Mt dare and the Simpson via the madigan line. Enjoy your journeys Dave My wife just told me karstan you bid for us on a house in Stanley Street when you were an agent. Wow small world Again enjoy yourselves we lived in Alice for 3 years it's great
Another great adventure trip guys! Love your endless positivity (even allowing for Karstan’s brief period of doubt prior to leaving Mt Dare). Good idea to always keep your fuel supplies topped-up out there. Safe travels kids! 👍♥️
Live the videos guys only just found your channel and this is the first one I watched. We are travelling Aus now and are about to head up to flinders ranges and do Oodnadatta now thinking might do Binns as well we are in a ranger with a 15ft off-road van
Yep do it !!! A guy I comment section here Dan the man just did it with a 20ft caravan no worry’s ! You will only regret the things you didn’t do rite ?? Haha
Great video. We were directed to this track when travelling from Old Andado after travelling from Alice via Santa Teresa. We thoroughly enjoyed it and was amazed at the Finke River “forest”. We stopped at Old Andado for a trip to the Mac Clark Conservation Park - again just amazing. When we returned to our camper trailer we were unable to access it until after sundown as the whole structure was covered in Bull ants. We were fortunate to see camels walking along along the sand dunes. We experienced the worst bulldust north of Old Andado we’re it was Series 80 LandCruiser wheel height. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
OMG You guys were on the block wot a life style change good on ya my wife use to be the Governess at Old Andado 40 years ago she will love your video 👍 cheers legends
Haha yeah .. a life time ago now ... traveling around aus sure beats Renovations and fluffy pillows !! Wow that’s amazing .. time to head back out there perhaps ?
Loved seeing how excited you guys were. If you get the chance, crossing the Simpson is a must do (probably need 4x4 for that). Every one of the 1100 sand dunes and swales is unique.
So guys I have only just found your Chanel thanks to Max & Ocy. I've just binged watched all of it from the start. Great fun to see stuff from the other side of the world. I drive a 79 kombi so I feel your pain. Keep going guys envy and greeting from Ireland.
Hey you have done well we were there at the same time last year the Binns from Oodnadatta to timber Creek now leaving to do it in reverse direction head down to cober pedy leave Toodyay in 6 days ps love the kombi sounds nice great family little girl travels well by the look of things cheers travel safe guys may see you along the way
Premature celebration!!! You're only half way there! Binns track to Alice is the start. After Alice it goes all the way to Timber Creek. Well worth the effort. The camps in Gregory Nat Park are terrific, and there is still a lot to see and enjoy along the way. That bulldust out of Mt Dare has to be seen to be believed. Been through it twice now. Not eager for a third. Loved our trek along the Binns.
What an episode !! You are proving quite a lot of overlanding "rules/conditions/requirements" wrong - thanks to a sensible Kombi build. Climbing that dune was right up my ally - my favorite spot in the Kalahari desert. Go there at least twice a year. Bulldust looks like scary stuff. Go well.
Two risks with "bull dust": firstly is what it concealed under its surface (ie sharp rocks etc), and secondly you need to pay close attention to your air filters. The stuff is like talcum powder or gypsum. Maybe thirdly is the setting of your air con in your vehicle.
Too deadly 🤙🏻 if you love the binns you’ll love the Gary Junction Rd… it’s a Len Beadell track from marble bar back to Alice (via Kintore and dissects the canning).. one of our favs 👌🏻 great to have a yarn with you guys in Darwin this morning!
Super AWESOME !!!, So glad I came across your channel, How bloody good is that Kombi OMG!!! 👍👍👍. I follow about 80 channels and yours is clearly up there as being one of the best, Have caught up on your vids and now up to date and lov'n the content. Too bad about the drone, bit of gaffa tape / cable tie and silicon might hold the gimble in place 😊😊😊 Look forward to more, awsome stuff Guys 🍻🍻🍻 Cheers Andy
Thanks Andy .. we are just being our selves doing what we love .. and not afraid to show the shit times haha will be doing a weekly vid for the next few years..
Continue to impress, I'm 64 so kombis and bugs were plentiful as a young fella. Even got to work on em doing my apprenticeship. Just goes to show what a high clearance 2 wheel drive can do in good weather. What a great ol station house. Been up the Stuart Hwy a few times and know what you mean about the colour changes of the dirt.
For your information, you can use Opal in an unleaded car. Opal fuel is a low-aromatic unleaded fuel that doesn't contain the properties that create a high when sniffed. Opal low-aromatic fuel was developed after BP received a letter in 2002 from a concerned person in an impacted community, asking if BP could do anything to help tackle petrol sniffing.
I thought you guys would enjoy the Binns Track! Glad you made it to Alice. We were the guys doing the Madigan Line with the 2-bikes and support vehicle. Keep up the great adventures, we are thoroughly enjoying your videos. 👌
Did the Old Andado track in 1998 when Molly Clarke was still around. Went on to Mt Dare and camped at ruins just beyond on the way to the Oodnadatta track. Great trip.
Just stumbled across your channel, enjoyed the video & subscribed. It was only the video when you were saying goodbye to your house that the penny dropped that you guys were on The Block, doh!!! What a great adventure, looking forward to binge watching to see where you've been. 😀😀😀
Hi, just found your channel. Absolutely fantastic. It's been 2 years since i was up there and you captured the atmosphere so well. Im in Victoria and have subscribed.
I know what they mean by bull dust I once traveled outback Nsw and QLD in the early 70s past a bull dust pothole where there was a car and caravan bogged you could just see the top of the caravan the guy who was standing by the hole said he was following a semi and it just disappeared lucky for me I’m sitting on top of him now 🙏👍👍
Hi guys. I have run opal in my Suzuki DR650, and Kawasaki 1000GTR (motorcycles) with no issue. The kombi will have no trouble digesting opal. Dont be put off by forums and nay sayers, Opal was introduced to assist in the reduction of petrol sniffing. p.s. Thanks for giving me a look at my home state and home town of Alice🙂
Loved this. Have done this track in both directions in the past but in a 100 Series Land Cruiser. It is a wonderful experience. I actually do own a 1976 Kombi but I don’t think that it will see this track. J 👍😎👣❤️🦎
@@KarstanAndMaxine When we passed Thru Old Andado Homestead there were volunteers staying there looking after the place. We also passed a guy on a pushbike on the track who had started in Tasmania. You meet the neatest people pot in the far away bush. 👍😎🙏👣
At 20.28 that Gangster car looks like a Humber Super Snipe, about 1951 or 1952, a British car similar to one used by Sir Winston Churchill. A very comfortable British limousine. Sad that it has nor been restored but powerful and emotive in it's state of rusting patina. Even now it is a real statement.
My husband is a Binns. No idea if there is any connection to Bill, but I feel like we should do this journey. 2:51 Maaaate...you had an *empty* Jerry can?
@@KarstanAndMaxine back in my younger days i drove one for 6 months as a relief vehicle i didn't get bogged like some other cars i had see you later Ron
Can you tell me what time of year you were here? A Yank from Wyoming here. I was in Oz a few years ago, saving up to go back. Love your adventures! Thanks, and have fun.
Truly impressed with where a Combi can take you. I would like to know what you did to it apart from the tyres before leaving on this trip. It does sound better than the average Combi and appears to have better suspension. Not sure what those ratchet straps are doing though. BTW Opal will be fine in the Combi. On average it is higher than 91 RON. I have used it in my Suzuki which takes 95 RON without any issues.

That was so great. I loved it. When I was a kid in Wittenoom, we used to see great flocks of budgies. I look forward to seeing them again. Your journeys inspire me.
We have since seen a wave of buggies that continued for over an hour .. millions upon millions of them !! So beautiful!
Great video. Your enthusiasm for the beauty and variety of the Binns Track is inspiring.
Thanks Ross !
Went 8 times round Oz over 10 years in my Kombi , loved the dirt roads. Kombi's are King! hey?

Hoping we can inspire more Aussies to get out here and explore this amazing part of the country !

Premature celebration!!! You're only half way there! Binns track to Alice is the start. After Alice it goes all the way to Timber Creek. Well worth the effort. The camps in Gregory Nat Park are terrific, and there is still a lot to see and enjoy along the way. That bulldust out of Mt Dare has to be seen to be believed. Been through it twice now. Not eager for a third. Loved our trek along the Binns.
Haha yeah we will be doing the other section next year .. we need to leave something to do when coming up the centre next time haha ..
What an episode !! You are proving quite a lot of overlanding "rules/conditions/requirements" wrong - thanks to a sensible Kombi build. Climbing that dune was right up my ally - my favorite spot in the Kalahari desert. Go there at least twice a year. Bulldust looks like scary stuff. Go well.
To rite Henry !! More then one way to skin a cat .
Two risks with "bull dust": firstly is what it concealed under its surface (ie sharp rocks etc), and secondly you need to pay close attention to your air filters. The stuff is like talcum powder or gypsum. Maybe thirdly is the setting of your air con in your vehicle.
you guys are great
Too deadly 🤙🏻 if you love the binns you’ll love the Gary Junction Rd… it’s a Len Beadell track from marble bar back to Alice (via Kintore and dissects the canning).. one of our favs 👌🏻 great to have a yarn with you guys in Darwin this morning!

I am on a push bike...tou guys passed me...
Hi guys good video again i been wanting to ask you was your kombi all red before all the best Ron
Thanks Ron ! Yep it was an old PMG van
@@KarstanAndMaxine back in my younger days i drove one for 6 months as a relief vehicle i didn't get bogged like some other cars i had see you later Ron
Hi all we are looking at dythis truck and I’m wondering what fuel you took to make it there ? As we don’t have a long range tank
Can you tell me what time of year you were here? A Yank from Wyoming here. I was in Oz a few years ago, saving up to go back. Love your adventures! Thanks, and have fun.
I’ve owned two kombis over the years, awesome go anywhere machines….. terrible in head and cross winds though…(well mine were)
Haha yeah the winds smashes us .. since upgrading the shocks it’s a lot better !
Cannot wait to see you get yourselves a beer and ZuZu finds a pool and friends ❤️
All were found !! Haha
Truly impressed with where a Combi can take you. I would like to know what you did to it apart from the tyres before leaving on this trip. It does sound better than the average Combi and appears to have better suspension. Not sure what those ratchet straps are doing though. BTW Opal will be fine in the Combi. On average it is higher than 91 RON. I have used it in my Suzuki which takes 95 RON without any issues.
We will try do a walkthrough of the whole Kombi in a week or so !!
Will definitely do a van tour in the coming weeks ! ... yeah we have since ran opal in the van .. worst part was I coul t smell my fuel leak haha
