Thanks for the memories - I worked as an exploration geologist in the Pilbara in the early to mid 1970's, just wish we had video cameras back then But I have some really great memories along with some terrible ones, but they all make great stories I can tell.
Falcon has doors which open left and right. holden had a tailgate opening down and a hatch opening up. that looks like an XB Falcon. Great filming guys...
All this country out in the Pilbara is my favourite part of Australia and If a restored XC is worth 44K that one’s got to be worth at least a dollar. 😂 60K followers now hey, word of mouth, yeah my mouth 🙄 I keep telling people and they just look at me like what ever. Your a UA-cam sensation guys. Don’t you just love how Maxine still loves Karstan even with a Grammy nose, that’s true love isn’t it and this whole bloody video Zuri has been amusing herself quietly with that plat, god she’s an Angel in her little Paisley dress.
Another brilliant adventure. Love how you guys just wing it. thats living. (Ford XB or XC Panel Van - can tell by the tail lights and barn doors). Keep going and show us more so we can dream of our own future adventures.
Great story. I was station mechanic on Mulyie Station in 1978 thanks for the memory. It is just beautiful country but i didn't get to see the places you have been to.
Karstan - Maxine and Zuri your what adventure is all about legends , you make us 4wheelers in our $10 to $200 thousand dollar lifted- lockers- long range tanks look like woses, keep the good times and adventure going awesome content 🤠
When my brother was in his late teens (he is now 71), him and his mates used to drive up to Lake Sumner in North Canterbury (NZ) to go camping and canoeing. One of them had an old Model T Ford. That thing used to go places the Landrovers couldn't even look at. Low gearing and big ground clearance. Your Kombi has the same attributes. Knowing how to drive it helps too.
Today April 15 23, The Pilbara has just had a bollocking from Cyclone Isla... Having driven through last year in a VW CARAVELLE, your adventures remind me to go slower next trip and take the long way 'somewhere.'.. Thanks, team
Wow what an adventure getting to an amazing spot. Inland WA is amazing, you can spend a year or more seeing it, and even then you won't see it all. That panelvan was a Ford XA or XB. The rear barn doors gave it away. Holdens had an upper and lower tail gate, not barn doors. The wind picks up on the coast at this time of year, so spend more time inland. Cheers for sharing another amazing adventure.
Hey guys. Another great episode. Beautiful country through there isn’t it. We live in Port Hedland and lucky enough to be surrounded by it every day. If you ever get the chance to get here after a good wet season I reckon you would be blown away. Coppins gap is a crackin waterhole when it’s full. Glad you enjoyed it. 👌👌. Cheers. Brad & Fi
You are so lucky. One of the most beautiful parts of the country out there. I worked at an iron ore mine out there in the 70's. Shay Gap. I saw the name on your map. The town is long gone and the area rehabilitated. By the way, it's Coppins as in Mary Poppins.
Thanks for your videos - love them. I swam at the Coppin Gap Pool in July last year with my teenage grandkids. It was just stunning and still flowing with crystal clear water, but a little cool that time of the year. I'm so pleased that you showed the road through Kitty's Gap - I always wanted to do that.
Awesome guys ! Thanks for another inspirational video. It’s really hard work to film constantly and to edit everything together so beautifully every week! Your quality is really consistent. Great soundtrack as well. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺
Looks awesome … we went o back of Bourke near Mays bend few years back and just loved that we were all by ourselves … in the Bach of nowhere probably bit wet this year but will always be in our memory for now lol 😂 we are fair bit older but there is so much to see in our country and even within each state 👌👌 get out and see our country 😊👌👍
We thoroughly enjoy viewing your travelogue. Such fantastic country and the drone footage certainly adds a perspective that is just amazing. The banter is so entertaining. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.
Its an Ford XB panelvan with barn doors. Possibly a GS by the look of the stripes. Husband is right into fords and can pick them from a mile away (literally).
Definitely a ford with the huge door Could be XA XB or XC Basically 72 to 79 model All the same from windscreen back Just different front guards and bonnet
Fantastic trip guys There is so much more to north west WA than the NW coastal highway… Get away from the tourist spots and find the true gems Great video guys
Great stuff guys. Been following and waiting till you travelled through that area. I worked out there 300kms west of Marble Bar over 20 years ago. I was lucky enough to drive in and out numerous times . Hidden jems out there. Keep up the great videos. Reliving my travels around Australia back then.👌
Coppin gap is amazing, better when full even better when the sun sets and that area just lights up. So much more to explore too. Upper Currawine Gorge and much much more. Glen Herring Gorge? Think I spelt it right, another top camp spot and your Combi will get there too. Enjoy, great time of year up there. If possible Running waters skull rock road, another gem 💎 then into Nullagine for a coldie.
Hands down one of your best. A big fan of the unplanned adventures, look at a map and point the car in that direction and fill in the gaps as you go, that destination you guys arrived at, "SENSATIONAL" The car you found with that beautiful patina ( your words ) was a 70s falcon panel van. Keep up the adventure and stay safe.
Awesome video again guys!!! I noticed you used maps on your phone quite a lot this video to find you way, looks like hema maps? Which is the app you downloaded, there are a few to choose from?
Did 70km of cattle fencing out on this station it’s called De Grey station full bush camp styles, we worked with people from the community too and was a wicked experience cool country out there but can be very unforgiving
That green grass is there all year round aswel same in marble bar. We was stuck at that river in 2007 on our way to marble bar it was flooded bank to bank.
"There's far more to WA than what you see on instagram" If your headed south and need a rest area you MUST see the Albert Tognolini rest area, the landscape is incredible, there are no words to describe it. 100% we are the luckiest humans in the world to call WA home 🙌🙌 west is best 👌 💕
G'day Karstan, Maxine and lil Zu, loving all the episodes and the sick as Kombi, just have a couple ideas for small episodes in between the trips you do, could you do a bit of a rig run down on how you have set the Kombi up for this travel, your must haves for the trip etc also wondering if you could do a small ep on gates and sign rules for beginners wanting to get into this sorta travel, looking forward to the next episodes, hope all is well 🤙🏽🤙🏽about to hit the road soon for our 7th lap the outback way, well on as much dirt roads as possible 😀
I've met the Warrawagine cattle station lease owners n enjoyed there company when the family came to muster Mulga Downs near Wittinoom. I worked on Mulga n at auski roadhouse for 5yrs. Wittinoom was our closest swimming hole on a stinking hot fcken day n is the most beautiful spot in WA that I saw. Asbestos was mined there n the town is now abandoned due to the risks involved many people have died after living there .
Who built your motor and what size is it? What do you have for carbs? Is your trans built with a 3.44 ring and pinion? Love the footage and I am building a split window for camping..
I had a car like it in my late teens it was a sand man I also had a rash like yours on my nose at the same time from giving out mustash rides after clubbing both went away but the rash lasted longer .
Thanks for the memories - I worked as an exploration geologist in the Pilbara in the early to mid 1970's, just wish we had video cameras back then But I have some really great memories along with some terrible ones, but they all make great stories I can tell.
Awesome tunes! Great couple (and not to forget Zuzu), it's great to see you enjoying what you do. Thanks for the videos

PANEL VAN is a FORD XB or XC I think. Holdens dont have Doors at the Back
Hello from Canada, very good video Thanks for sharing
Another brilliant adventure. Love how you guys just wing it. thats living. (Ford XB or XC Panel Van - can tell by the tail lights and barn doors). Keep going and show us more so we can dream of our own future adventures.
I also had though an XC from the doors, but the front was kinda munted!!
Thanks for making me feel a little home sick. I lived in Marble Bar as a kid, haven't been back since the early eighties. Must do a trip back soon
Great story. I was station mechanic on Mulyie Station in 1978 thanks for the memory. It is just beautiful country but i didn't get to see the places you have been to.
Yep, XC Ford Falcon. You can tell by the door handle spots, fuel filler and rear tail lights. Great vid guys (as always).

Nice video, thanks. I am just back from a few weeks in the Kimberley and Pilbara myself, fantastic country. I hope you went to Barn Hill!
It’s unbelievable!! We’ve only just touched the surface… such a beautiful area!! And yes we did a quick stop at Barn Hill.
As usual, totally stunning scenery and that can do, lets do attitude is tops.
The best places are well hidden off the seldom travelled tracks, another excellent episode

Sorry guys. I meant 300kms east of Marble Bar. Was at Niffty mine.
you do some cool tracks, we liked them so much, we are doing wagga to darwin next sunday, in our old pajero, hope you do plenty more.
Coppin gap is amazing, better when full even better when the sun sets and that area just lights up. So much more to explore too.

Awesome video!!! We will definitely add it to our list!!! Can't wait for the next videos :P
Stunning. Another great episode guys
Awesome vid guys. Well done!
Great show. That rusted out Panel van is either an XA OR XB Falcon Panel van.
11:00, pretty sure its a falcon, has the square handles on the door
You had such a wonderful day, and thank you for sharing the beautiful landscape through your journeys 💕
Great vid you guys are fantastic story tellers
Love this! Thanks for inspiring me to travel with my daughter. You guys are just freaking awesome!! xx

Sorry mate it’s a falcon probably more notes to follow
Choc top mountains! Yes please...... Ill have one of those!
Awesome video again guys!!! I noticed you used maps on your phone quite a lot this video to find you way, looks like hema maps? Which is the app you downloaded, there are a few to choose from?
We use Memory Map - it’s easy to use and reliable.
Oh and thanks for watching!
At the end the moon shining behind you lot looked like it must be a perfect place
Cool old XB falcon panel van
Love you vids mate, that was an XB barn door Falcon
Did 70km of cattle fencing out on this station it’s called De Grey station full bush camp styles, we worked with people from the community too and was a wicked experience cool country out there but can be very unforgiving
Wow such beauty not many people get to see but thanks to you guys we do keep it up
Epic episode out of this world
There's a bit of aviation history around Coppins Gap. It was some time ago but it's worth the research.
That green grass is there all year round aswel same in marble bar. We was stuck at that river in 2007 on our way to marble bar it was flooded bank to bank.
Falcon Panel Van👍
XA-XC
Fantastic adventure 🏆🏆
Great vid and very nice framing the full-moon in the closing shots, so this upload is dated from about 2 weeks ago?
Awesome content 👏
Wow 👌 the greenery was amazing
Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦 👏 😀

"There's far more to WA than what you see on instagram"
If your headed south and need a rest area you MUST see the Albert Tognolini rest area, the landscape is incredible, there are no words to describe it.
100% we are the luckiest humans in the world to call WA home 🙌🙌 west is best 👌 💕
Yeah we are heading south! Really looking forward to it 👍🏻
@@KarstanAndMaxine if you need a tour guide for the SW let us know 😄😄
What an awesome drive
Another awesome chapter. Don't know how far south you are now, can recommend Karara Bushland Park, East of Morawa, for wildflowers.
Yep; ya got me interested again --- welcome back Aussie outback
G'day Karstan, Maxine and lil Zu, loving all the episodes and the sick as Kombi, just have a couple ideas for small episodes in between the trips you do, could you do a bit of a rig run down on how you have set the Kombi up for this travel, your must haves for the trip etc also wondering if you could do a small ep on gates and sign rules for beginners wanting to get into this sorta travel, looking forward to the next episodes, hope all is well 🤙🏽🤙🏽about to hit the road soon for our 7th lap the outback way, well on as much dirt roads as possible 😀
Hey Paul, thanks for watching and thanks for all your suggestions. We will definitely be doing some more informative vids very soon!
Should definitely give millstream point a look while your round them ways
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Epic track guys. Awesome country 👍🏽
about a 1977 XC ford van i believe
Absolutely beautiful adventure in the Pilbara fully sick lost for words🙉
I've met the Warrawagine cattle station lease owners n enjoyed there company when the family came to muster Mulga Downs near Wittinoom. I worked on Mulga n at auski roadhouse for 5yrs. Wittinoom was our closest swimming hole on a stinking hot fcken day n is the most beautiful spot in WA that I saw. Asbestos was mined there n the town is now abandoned due to the risks involved many people have died after living there .
Another great video xx
Love you guys ,good vibes all the way
Great video guys top stuff!

It was a Falcon panel van XA OR XB
It’s a ford Falcon XB panvan 1973 to 1975
Hay guys my name is Jason and I’m around in the Pilbara and would love to meet ya’s, loving your videos 😊
Who built your motor and what size is it? What do you have for carbs?
Is your trans built with a 3.44 ring and pinion?
Love the footage and I am building a split window for camping..
Brilliant guys ❤
