Googs Track South Australia - 4wd Solo Touring

Күн бұрын

Googs Track in South Australia is located a short drive North of Ceduna. In September 2015 I completed a solo crossing in my Land Rover Defender over 4 days. Googs Track is a single vehicle track crossing 363 sand dunes from South to North. It passes through the Yumbarra Conservation Park and Yellabinna Regional Reserve.
The Track was constructed by John ‘Goog’ Denton between 1976 to 1979. It is 4wd only access due to the sandy dunes, not suitable for soft roaders. There are no facilities along its route so travellers much be totally self sufficient for fuel, food and water. A sand flag is highly recommended.
Highlights along the track are Googs Lake and Mount Finke, both providing basic campsites.
I completed the exploration from Ceduna ending in Glendambo, an approximate distance of 570km. Goog’s Track is a well known trail for 4WD and adventure enthusiasts.

Just came across this fabulous post of yours and very enjoyable watch. Friends have recently completed this trip and loved it. I too had a mechanic (a friend actually) install 4 new shock absorbers and major service and PRE trip on my 1997 Disco back in 1999. I departed on the first leg of my trip at 0300hrs. 2 hours in on inland QLD gravel roads 3 shock absorbers had lost the mounting nuts. That required a limp into the nearest town and about 3 hours delay. Since then I check everything every time.

Like you, I longed to 'roam', but unlike yourself, being married with a family was the prohibitive factor for me. I simply couldn't spare the time nor money to travel tp the places I wanted to. But now, mid forties, I am preparing my vehicle and creating an itinerary. Finally, it's going to happen, the way I want it to. This is occurring much later in life than I'd hoped... my former wife and I talked about heading off on such a trip with the kids and a camper, but again, life got in the way. But, so long as I go everywhere in Australia I want to go before I die, I'll be buried with a smile on my dial. Cheers for the inspiration to finally get out there. See you on the tracks!

Amazing landscape, reminds me of a trip when we were supposed to take the Great Central Road to the east from Laverton. The road was closed, so we detoured across the Nullarbor Plain by highway. Somewhere east of Ceduna we took a track north passing Kingoonya. The landscape looked much like this video. Great memories !

Loved your video. Please make more. I have been debating on getting a Defender....we'll see...I think a mechanics course would be in order before doing so. I had a Range Rover years ago and the day the check engine light finally went off, I drove it immediately to the Lexus dealer and traded it in before the light came back on. The Land Rover mechanics never were able to figure out what was wrong with it. My daughter still has the Lexus SUV 18 years later and it's still going strong. I still love the look and feel of any Land Rover though. Best of luck on your next BIG adventure and I look forward to the video.

And this is the way I want to go; no tourists, maybe a dog, and of course a buddy who knows where we're going!!!! LOL!!!!!! That's probably the hardest part, otherwise you'd have someone with you. Ever since I became aware of Malcolm Douglas and his trips through the Kimberly, I've wanted to head to Broome and begin my journey. I also want to get a permit and travel through Arnemland; I want to meet the amazing folks of the First Nations. After reading Syd Kyle-Little's book, I'm determined to sit and listen to them for a while.

I also spotted that neat bit of drop down shade you've got available on the drivers window.. excellent idea, I'm stealing that one. Very well spoken thoughts on travelling alone and not waiting. That marker on the top of the hill is usually referred to as a "Trig Point".. Also good to see you take your Spot Gen 3 messenger when you're away from your vehicle. Loved it! More!

Beautifull video. I travelled back in 1984 with another bloke from Perth to Darwin. From Canarvon to Katherine on and of we had a lot of grevel, no bitume roads in those years. It really felt like travelling in the outback when leaving York WA after a few days. I hitchhiked from Katherine to Townsville and from there took the Greyhound to Melbourne. The silence with only some native birds and the sandflies brought back manny good memories from my traveling around the whole of Australia. Yust awesome to see your video great video mate, good on you.

Thanks Maurice. I can only image how incredible the experience was back then before bitumen made everything easily accessible. An adventure I could only dream of today in Australia.

Fantastic production, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Great filming, heaps of camera angles, thoughtfully located and assembled, nothing overdone, beautifully post-produced with narration and well-chosen music, and all in all gave a very realistic and absorbing coverage. I was immersed in this and felt like I was there! Well done mate, hoping you will do more trips and videos. Cheers.

You made a comment that is exactly how I think... What scares you more is waiting for retirement. I'm also in my 30s and I've always had that mind set. We're not even guaranteed to make it till then so do whatever you love now!

It's great to see that I'm not the only one that clears the track and not drive around trees keep up the good work. I started back in the 1980's and am still at it, I found if you try to find someone to come you will just sit around at home not going so I just got up and went, I'm still at and I love it may be we will meet some where on a track in the never never!

Thanks Gary.. not really courage.. Just going for a drive in my back yard. Exploring WA would take courage. Its a worry, though hope to make it there for 2019. Start with shorter trips and work your way up to more remoter locations and you'll be an old salt to solo travel in no time.
