Come along with us as we travel along the Oodnadatta track in outback South Australia. Our first stop has us in Marree attending the Australasian Camel Cup, followed by some of the best outback driving there is. We explore around old railway sidings and ruins, take a soak in the stunning Coward Springs outback spa, and stay at some incredible free camps along the way, which we had all to ourselves! And what trip through the outback wouldn't be complete without a stop at an iconic outback pub, this time it was the William Creek Hotel. You can't go past without stopping for a quick beer!
The camel cup was a very amusing day 😂😂. I think the donkey races were more entertaining than the camels though! Glad you like the new format, so far we like how the videos are looking.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it :) . How nice is the Gold Coast, we've been there a few times (during the right season) and the sun is amazing there :D
Looks like you have Ezitow independent suspension. Have yet to try ours over extensive corrugations. The 50mm available compression means relying on soft tyres rayher than springs to preserve the van. Keen to see how you go.
Hey 👋. Have don’t have ezitow suspension but have read a bit into it. From what we’ve read it sounds like it would be pretty good for corrugations etc. I guess the only way you’ll find out is if you give it a go 😅. Whenever we drive on rough dirt roads or corrugations we always drop tyre pressure, makes the ride so much better and helps protect that track a bit too. What type of van do you have?
@@Explore_oz Ours is a Coromal single axle 505 soft road poptop. OK on moderate dirt but never had to hit 100km of vorrugations, so far. I willkep wstchkng.
The donkey races were Jess' highlight for the day haha. We will be sure to include some more campsite footage in future videos, it's something wee keep meaning to do but up until now we kept forgetting. Cheers :D
Good information. Jess is great with her information on kms travelled and expenses. Tell us about the trouble with the vehicle you had. What communication gadgets did you use and expenses in relation to that.
So glad you’re enjoying the videos ☺️ Our van is not technically an off road van… I guess you could probably call it semi off-road if you had to give it a classification. We have however taken it pretty much anywhere we have wanted. We just drive to the conditions and sometimes take things a little slower than others. That said, we haven’t damaged the van on any of our adventures (other than a couple of hoses). Hope that helps 👌
Hey 👋. Our triton is a 2019 glx+. We went the glx+ because we didn’t want carpet or leather seats etc that the higher spec models have. It’s basically stuff we didn’t want in a 4wd 😂. Overall the triton has done us very well over two years of full time travel. It’s spent most of its time towing a camper trailer and now the caravan and so far so good. It’s always going to have a few little gremlins but nothing major. More power would be nice for towing but we’re never really in a rush anyway.
Thanks for the kind works Mark :). In regards to your question, normally we don't disconnect the caravan for an overnight stop. We forgot to get some firewood on the way in to camp so we had to pop out and collect some. Rookie mistake :D

Great video guys, you have got to love the serenity and the isolation out there, haven't you!!
You got that right! It’s so nice and peaceful when you can find somewhere all to yourself. Have you done the Oodnadatta Track before?
What an adventure! 😍🤩
You know it legend!!
haha looks like great fun guys
Mate, it absolutely was! We've done the Oodnadatta a few times and we love it every time.
Them races bring back some great memories from Coober Pedy in the mid 90s 😂😂😂 what a great day out.
Can't say I've been to the Coober Pedy ones, but I imagine it would be a damn good day out!
@@Explore_oz it really was. It was like that. But three times bigger haha
Any idea if they are still doing it at Coober?
@Explore_oz honestly I have no idea... will have to look it up on google.
Gotta get to the camel cup, looked like a lot of fun.
Loving your new format too.

Awesome guys, love the oodnadatta tk 🤠👍👍
Such an incredible place Shad, we didn’t manage to see everything this trip through but that just means we have to go back again right? 😂

Donkey races was utterly priceless!! Would be good to see some footage around the campsite. Cheers!

Appreciate the tips, and if we could go back in time and film the video again that's information that we would include for sure.
Hey guys. The family and I are enjoying your videos. Is your caravan an off road caravan?
So glad you’re enjoying the videos ☺️

Hi guys great video . 1 question , when you stop to camp overnight why do you disconnect the caravan from the car.
Thanks for the kind works Mark :). In regards to your question, normally we don't disconnect the caravan for an overnight stop. We forgot to get some firewood on the way in to camp so we had to pop out and collect some. Rookie mistake :D
Burp
