Still in Europe, but I thought It was time for the next part of our Flinders Adventure. I hope you enjoy, please don't forget to like and leave me a comment in the comment section to help with the youtube algorithm.

[@roberthay7554]

My favourite station is Bendelby Ranges - gorgeous scenery and challenging four wheel drive tracks

[@AlloffroadAu]

Good choice! Been there also quite a few times good to mix it up though

[@michaelnugara1]

Love the views but I also love that Rangie. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlloffroadAu]

You are so welcome

[@lucysoutdoors]

Another great video Stephan,Hope your have a great time in Europe.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks! 😃

[@nathanhickeyhickey8693]

I think I spotted a certain gorgeous Range Rover heading over the mountains this week .. very nice Dave.

[@PietroH53]

Pleased to see a 30 year old "CLASSIC" doing it's thing. Wonderful.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yep that Rangie is a great car

[@harrywalker968]

i got a 55 yr old ''classic'', doing its thing,,& it aint no toyota..or nissan..or jeep.

[@GG-zh6yp]

nice footage, looks dry and unforgiving country, albeit spectacular!

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks a lot!

[@simonmiles4727]

I am sold. Definitely going to check out that station in future. Have done Mount Samuels track. Really enjoyed it. Alpana has some great riverbed camp sites. Really enjoyed watching this current trip series

[@KarlEller]

Another fantastic video with stunning scenery!

[@AlloffroadAu]

Many thanks!

[@4x4isfun24]

What an awesome spot! Kinda reminds me of a track near arkaroola which I found absolutely magical. Definitely on my must do list now and that backdrop of the Flinders in the distance is absolutely stunning! Awesomely filmed Stephan 👍👌😎

[@AlloffroadAu]

thanks mate, I think I may know the track you mentioned found something similar there 10 years ago but forgot the name.

[@drmarkintexas-400]

Thank you for sharing 🏆🇺🇲🙏🤗

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks for visiting

[@stuartkcalvin]

Thanks Stefan, I always enjoy your adventures, there's a nugget or two in every one for me :) As an aside I have two 2016 Bunker beds which have seen the Gibb, the Gulf, East coast up to Cooktown, WA coast from Exmouth to Albany, Central Queensland and the SA Peninsula with no problems - definitely now an issue for the last trip.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes from what I have seen the older Oztent stuff was much better quality

[@michael.klavers]

Stunning scenery with excellent videography! Very nice Stefan once again 👍

[@AlloffroadAu]

Many thanks!

[@55Agro]

Visted about9 years ago, but missed the eastern heritage track. Must go back!

[@PietroH53]

Unbelievable scenery. Such a fantastic country.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes it sure it mate

[@VentureOffroadAustralia4x4]

Really enjoying the Flinders Ranges video's Stefan. Makes me want to plan another trip there. The scenery is beautiful and you do an amazing job of capturing it. It's a shame the sleeping bag didn't stack up to the claimed comfort rating. Definitely need to be looking at the filling GSM and ignoring the marketing claims. Looking forward to Part 3.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes definitely a pity that companies can't be bothered to rate their gear correctly This could really spoil a holiday.

[@crispyinasia61]

Great episode Stefan. Your production values have really stepped up. Well done on a very polished piece. 👍🏻

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks a ton!

[@TravelOutbackOz]

We did this a few years back. The scenery is stunning and people really should take up these station stay opportunities, especially in the Flinders where you have views like you have shown. Great capture mate.

[@duke22234]

thanks and yes I agree so much to see in the Flinders

[@fatmanoverlanding]

It's surprising to see so much vegetation. The latter part of your video, the scenery looked more like North America, than outback Australia. Good stuff.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yep that's what we thought as well, great to have such a variation in nature and vegetation

[@chriskaskadanis3795]

Excellent video, thanks so much! Its been a very long time since I've been to the Flinders and look forward to exploring some of the stations and tracks soon! Cheers.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mwpaus]

I hope you guys do the Caernarvon track. It's a good 60km of fun.

[@VirtualPapercuts]

May I suggest the King Single Stretcher Swag Combo from Kulkyne Kampers as a replacement for the Oztent Bunker.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yea I have the double Kulkyne and a friend of mine has the single, the way it packs flat does not fit well in my car set up but I still considering my options.

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thank you Stefan. Are you able to confirm the cost to access the Merna Mora station for the self drive?

[@AlloffroadAu]

From memory, depends on if you stay there or not if you don't stay, it's track based. Check it out at www.mernamora.com.au/tracks.htm

[@ekspatvos6264]

Has Oztrail responded to you? I want to purchase 2 stretcher tents and was considering their option… but now I am reconsidering.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yea I'm still using them as they are the best of the worse, I really hope ZoTent addresses the issues at some stage.

[@graemetowner7257]

beautiful drone shots...if OzTent such bad quality, your on your fourth and still not a good word to say about them, why do you keep using them ?...find a better tent !!

[@AlloffroadAu]

hm, I don't plan to put Oztent content in the videos but if another brand new stretcher fails on the trip I thought it's worthwhile knowing. My 4th stretcher lasts so far but I would gladly find a better stretcher tent unfortunately not many options in that market segment. The Oztent Bunker Pro is the only one with a reasonable fly (if it lasts) so maybe Oztent get their act together one day. If another player starts making a quality stretcher tent, I will test it ASAP.

[@markp4668]

You've capture some magnificent scenery, nice work.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Many thanks!
