    G'day guys! We've been following you since we saw your rig at Goolwa about 2yrs ago I reckon. We've since sold our New Age and about to get another van in November but will still watch and like your adventures as you continue to be 'real' and give great advice for family travellers regardless of van type etc. Thank you all and safe travels for as long as you do it for 😊👍

    Gosh your kiddos and the dog are awesome travellers. I loved the drone pictures they were something out of this world. You can bet this part of your trip will be great memories.

    Great episode , plus the previous one showing us the Oodnadatta Track . So good you took your time as it showed us how not to rush and see all there is to see. We have been to William Ck and Oodnadatta but not the track itself . Enjoy your family time and we look forward to your next video .

    Great video, I’d give so much to see the Painted Desert but looking at that road you went on I don’t think id drive, maybe get a flight over it. So glad you had no problems this time on the track. Cheers Judy

      The road from the coober pedy side was so much better, if you do go I would just go in and out on that road and not go on the road we did, was so bad.
      But the painted desert was truly beautiful

    Wow how amazing the Painted Desert is. I have heard about it but have never been there so I didn't know what to expect. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. The corrugations are terrible but I guess that's all part of the adventure. Thank you so much for sharing the Oodnadatta Track. Enjoy Coober Pedy. ❤

    Glad you made it. I see the road from Oodnadatta to Arckaringa Station is still terrible 😂 You did all the hard work and should’ve stayed a night at the station and spent some time on the walks at the lookout closest to the station (last place you were stopped) How amazing is that place.

      No sorry no calendars this year, we ended up at a loss last year so not in a position to do that again.
      It would be better if we didnt have to pre buy a set amount and could just print on demand but thats even more expensive
