[@OffroadTouringLife]

I just caught up on ep 1 &2 I’ll definitely be back for part 3. Thanks for all the time and effort you put to making this awesome me content. Cheers.

[@AlloffroadAu]

thank you very much mate, greatly appreciated you know how much effort goes in to creating this

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

It's a hot day today, so binge watching Stefan. I loved the interview with Mrs Denton...

[@antony3678]

Excellent video. You provided information about places that I couldn't find anywhere else. Thanks!

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bryanohalloran9001]

Great video's, and lots of useful information Hopefully we will be able to do Googs Track this year. Another track to add to our Desert travels in the last 15 years.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Sounds great!

[@jcv551]

You guys are the real deal outback tourers. Great stuff 👋

[@AlloffroadAu]

Wow, thanks!

[@terryoleary5424]

Beautiful country

[@AlloffroadAu]

Yes indeed

[@angus3054]

you guys should head south and do the canunda national park dunes and tracks , we do this 1 and others yearly , love watching your footage ;-)

[@AlloffroadAu]

hopefully October this year

[@pearcem66]

Really enjoying this series. Can't wait for the next one. Brilliant as always.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad you enjoy it, more to come..

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

Welcome to my home town of Woomera. It's unfortunate your stay was limited as the township and associated buildings, initiated when a British/American closed town, is full of unique defence history, from rocket to missile to nuclear developments. Now a secretive weapons testing facility again, with extensive government investment, is writing new history. For a future visit, the historic facilities of Maralinga and Emu, both heritage nuclear test facilities, are a must see , the knowledge gained will amaze you. Enjoy your visit to outback SA. There are may challenging tracks, in both the remote regions and the stunning Flinders Ranges, you just have to have local knowledge. Oh, and for your Golden North Giant Twin hit, contact them direct at their Laura factory. They supply throughout Australia. Another great vid. Thanks Stefan.👍👍🇭🇲

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thank you for your insight Andrew, we missed Maralinga by a day (they had the last tour the day before I called). Would love to hear about a few technical tracks in the Flinders with such a vast landscape there got to be some good stuff around.

[@michaelnugara1]

Love that Rangie. Thanks for sharing Stefan

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes the Rangie is great mate, I love it too

[@Grnbarf]

Love your vids! Keep em comin Cheers from USA

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad you like them, greatly appreciated!

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Great coverage of SA in the conversation between the three of you guys. I would've thought that high range would be better for wear, providing you aren't stressing the vehicle. I'm really not sure...perhaps a future vid?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Unless you have speed above 40km low range is better for gear box, driveline on the sand dunes (even though they are not really hard) everything still works much harder then it was mainly designed for when driving on sand.

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Loving these Stefan. Cheers Steve

[@shaddonaghue]

Another great video, googs track looks like a great track, Thanks for sharing with us mate 👍👍

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Wofinet]

Thanks Stefan - great story. 👍🏻😜

very interesting trip Stephan, travel safe

Thanks a lot

[@zoezoe610]

Thanks, love your touring videos.

Thank you very much

[@davewarland1680]

Fantastic as always 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

[@julestrips4160]

I camped in the same spot last year, fantastic view of the mountain there (especially after you have climbed it) lazy buggas😉

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes mate kicking myself that I did not go up by myself

[@waynelemmon3007]

What an interesting story on how the Googs track came about.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Yes mate also had no clue till I got there and Scotty mentioned something

[@MrFastFarmer]

@@AlloffroadAu I thought her son Martin died on Googs track?

[@philg2468]

Great videos but don't give all our secrets away :-) BTW can get Golden North icecream in IGA supermarkets in the eastern states

[@MrFastFarmer]

There is very little (if any) 4x4 in SA. Googs lake is a magic spot.

[@bernardnazgul5254]

??

[@AlloffroadAu]

I recon SA one of the most touring 4wd of any state.

[@MrFastFarmer]

@@AlloffroadAu “touring” I can agree too.

[@AlloffroadAu]

I can also agree that I have not seen any proper technical 4wd driving in SA which is a pity would like to come and visit with the play truck.

[@grahameroberts8109]

@@AlloffroadAu No 4x4 in SA! What! www.bendlebyranges.com.au/

[@jaredtansley3236]

Another awesome episode matey. What is the local radio channel used when journeying through these areas

[@AlloffroadAu]

never ever listen to radio, once bush I love the quite but on the way in and out I do Audio Books

[@jaredtansley3236]

@@AlloffroadAu My apologies matey, I meant the 4x4 Radio channel to communicate with other users. Channel 40?? Awesome video by the way.

[@AlloffroadAu]

ah, I monitor Channel 10 on one radio and we are usually somewhere above 50 for the group but varies really we have no firm channel

[@btadventures_]

Great video 😍🔥 Thought I'd ask, do you have any advice for a new fellow aussie youtuber, getting into some adventuring with my nav and would love some advice ❤️

[@AlloffroadAu]

honestly, unless you have a lot of time and money to spend I think it's to late for it except obviously you just do it for fun then just go for it but keep in mind every man and his dog is doing it now so I think the market is over saturated ...

[@btadventures_]

@@AlloffroadAu Well I'll see how I go then, I love going out and creating videos, so let's see how far that gets me 😊

[@AlloffroadAu]

@@btadventures_ as long as you do it for fun mate it's all good, nice momento to have the videos in 10 years or so

[@Corey-pd3mi]

Surprising very little dust, had it previously been wet? What time of year was this?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Yes had rained not to long ago

[@Grippygripster1]

Great vid once again mate. Googs is on my next to do list. What time of year were you up there? Was bloody wet a few months back when we did the Simmo

[@AlloffroadAu]

Only last month mate just after the wet

[@Sebel1337]

Hi Stefan, in case you dont know: alternativaslibres.org/en/index.php The whole Googs Track is in OpenStreetMap its even routable with Mapsource/BaseCamp

[@efibendor1]

No Jeep anymore?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Yes still Jeep but never was or will be the remote tourer. Waiting for my Hydro Assist steering to arrive though for pst 2 month.

[@efibendor1]

@@AlloffroadAu consider doing vehicle walkthrough as part of the video I think that would have add an interesting dimension

[@AlloffroadAu]

@@efibendor1 there are walk troughs of all the vehicles independently for my Cruiser and Scotts Patrol, the Rangy has a walk trough on the Canning series.

[@daneggleton1]

Did you put a sand flag on?

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes

[@mikehzz9848]

Citizens arrest.....you drove straight through the stop sign on the railway track at around 7:40 minutes.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes mate, one car 1 km in front, the other car 1 km behind and a clear line of sight for at least 1km in each direction

[@andrewmorgan4306]

Great video but you when through a stop sign at the railway line not ideal great stuff any way.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Fair enough! mind you Scotty was ahead and Dave in the back and I could see easy a few km each side, but agree stopping at stop sign especially on video is advisable.

[@ShaneB666]

I would of thought flying a drone over a train was frowned upon too..

[@andrewmorgan4306]

I have done Googs track 10 years ago from Ceduna to Kingoonya it was esay no sand flags then,too many cars now on the track and too many restrictions not good im glad ive done it when it was great.

[@AlloffroadAu]

@@ShaneB666 by whom?

[@ShaneB666]

@@AlloffroadAu by the railway people. There are lots of rules which lm sure you know (and abide by), l just thought that would be one off them.

[@stephenlangman6977]

You make a mention not far into the video about keeping an eye out for trains....... Then what did you do......drive straight through a Stop 🛑 sign....... I thought you would have been far more responsible than that, not good to show it on a public video

[@AlloffroadAu]

correct, so we had one vehicle around 1 km ahead and one vehicle around 1 km behind driving next to the train line, me in the middle announcing over UHF trains and oncoming vehicles as we always do, just had a train pass on the single rail track, clearly nothing coming from the other direction so zero chance for a train and being able to see tracks for easy several km in both directions made me cross without stopping.... And as I said in the video I was looking out for trains and would not have crossed if unsafe use common sense mate. But yes for the video probably should have stoped... even though no train in sight for kilometers

[@stephenlangman6977]

Common sense or not, you broke the law, and you know it. You will not find any state in Australia that allows you to not stop at a well signposted STOP SIGN 🛑

[@AlloffroadAu]

@@stephenlangman6977 yea mate what do you want me to do now? I said I should have stopped cant roll time back, do you want me to report myself for crossing a train crossing no local would have stopped for the past decade unless he saw a train approaching? Looks like you waited a long time to get me for something, you got it.

[@stephenlangman6977]

Like I said you have produced many fantastic videos and full credit it you, they are great, but if you do it next time, just leave it out. Keep up your great work

[@AlloffroadAu]

@Stephen Langman thanks mate, only noticed it after someon mentioned it here. I'm usually quite dilligent with that but it slipped, as I said before we all kept our eye out for trains and checked the crossing.

[@carbonharmonics]

Your accent drives me nuts

[@AlloffroadAu]

lol, not much I can do about it, I guess you speak a few languages accent-free? I started English self-taught with 25 so that's as good as it gets but another million videos to watch on YT so just switch channels.

[@ShannonBeal80]

Too many ads now, sorry I can't keep watching.
