MENINDEE TO SILVERTON - Outback NSW Road Trip

[@birdman5223]

Love those accents👍☺️😎 Hi from California🤙🏽

[@stewnico]

The 'Walk-around'... Karstan, spot on; it is an absolute must. However, you only showed us Part 1... Part 2 (just as essential) - drive the car forward, then get out and do another walk-around the area where you were parked. This will ensure that if anything dropped out of or off the vehicle and was hidden underneath, you'll find it there and then (as opposed to getting to your next camping spot and saying "Hey Maxine, have you seen the..."). Keep up the excellent work, and really looking forward to you taking delivery of the Oka ;)

[@jmpersonal2402]

It's still green - The bush seems as it was last year... Your VW is a legend, and .... your Grandchildren will love it ... Keep safe, team

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Incredibly green and beautiful 👌🏻

[@markfulton2056]

Hey guys another amazing video & i loved watching how the rear tent came out. So I don’t know if you do requests but i know I can’t be the only one who would love to watch a video on the van its self.. engine specs from start to now? Gear box ratios? Ride hight? How you did it? I noticed you had offset the rear arms? I might be wrong but i would love to hear how this amazing van has got you so far & kept you & your family safe. Sending the VDUB love from the UK guys & thanks again.

[@warhavok]

Thanks for giving us a taste of Silverton. You guys are champions for doing the out back with out a/c! I have really liked Karston sharing his vw issues on line and challenging is to what the problem could be. It all adds to knowledge base of what to look for and solutions for many other kombi owners. In not wishing that you break down more, but I have appreciated your insight and experience to solve problems and get going. Cheers Paul

Great to hear Jen!!!!

[@rachelmorton4734]

My old stomping ground from 20 years ago thank you ❤

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Such a great place to explore!

[@kevinbrooks1922]

Thank you Joe I had no idea about the scroll in the water pump drive. I have two motors, 6LX and my first one is a 5LW both in wooden boats, and both have been on the bottom of the sea. Doing my best to to rejuvenate them cos I love them so much thanks to you!

[@traciesmith7436]

Love Silverton we are here now but leave in the morning to go up the middle. We stayed at the camel farm which is great, they have a replica built compound here from mad max 2, the museum owner built it and it lights up at night. Worth a look if you pass through again and haven't seen it. The donkeys in town are gorgeous they had their heads through the window of our car.

[@jameswebb3000]

Very enjoyable

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@jesseeglington2602]

She looks genuinely happy and in love.

[@robsadventures4653]

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

That’s awesome Rob 👍🏻

[@Kikifriedmann]

Great to see you again! Next time you just say "we go with the flow" if you have no plans! You are just a wonderful sweet family and we love to watch your Videos!❤❤❤

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Haha yeah we never really know what we’re doing 🤪

[@glentomkins8044]

Amazing how you keep that old bus on the road!

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Constant maintenance 😆

[@sueberry6627]

Another amazing video. We were Kombi people in the 80s and 90s. So love your videos. Hubby seems to think the Kombi you asked about at Silverton was a 1976 model. Cheers Sue and Simon

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Terrific tour, thank you. Donkeys,you never know! Safe travels, Elaine from Queensland.

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Thanks for watching 😄

[@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120]

Love the combe how you set it up👍✔️✔️ and a winch👌. And a maketa aircon how cool

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Great to hear mate!

[@PietroH53]

Looks like a 1960"s Simca perhaps.

[@gerardgue6382]

Agree with you simca aronde Cheers

[@kathyf7474]

Hi Guys, always look forward to your videos!! Thank you once again.

[@leesydneyharry7958]

Maxine loves a good Donkey 😉“Show us your puppy’s Maxine” 🤣 She’s glowing a little, that’s great to see and good luck. How great is that Beatle hey (all show no blow however) Well it’s definitely the same old story unfortunately when it comes to all these dying regional towns Australia. Silverton is one classic Australian town I came close to visiting after leaving Broken Hill. That’s going to be a great episode looking forward to it. Yeah , the drop in population with most of these towns, brought about by the slow migration to the sea change. Not even the indigenous want to stay out there anymore all opting for the cities. If the government could just convince all the refugees brought into Australia to stay out there it would be great for these towns. Honestly it’s just so hot and dry out there. Enjoying your visit this time out there and as always take care 😉 There’s actually an article regarding : “The sudden death of millions of fish in the Darling-Baaka River has triggered heartbreak and frustration in NSW’s far west. Emotions ran high at a community meeting in Menindee on Tuesday, where government officials who tried to assure residents the local water was safe to drink were made to sip cups of it in front of the crowd. Days before, the river flowing through Menindee had been filled with floating dead fish, choked to death by extremely low oxygen levels in the water. “ The article said.😮

[@pudingaomar6341]

Great living❤❤

[@petreamccarthy8635]

Thanks for another entertaining episode. You guys must have your down days like everyone else, but your upbeat vids bring joy to a lot of people:)

[@johnmathisen1167]

The burke and wills if I remember right was a dirt floor and blue in colour back in the 80s

[@leecoates6524]

welcome back missed you guys

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Great to be back!

[@peyotephoenix5882]

Love sharing your travels 👋🏾👍🏾

[@stevematalone2512]

Nothing sounds any more Australian than the crows in the backround

[@thatguyjhordan8871]

Was awesome meeting you guys and having a coffee together, hope the road to your next spot wasn't too bad id hate to make a lie out of myself 😉 😅

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

👍🏻 nice to meet you too!!! Road was fun 🤙🏻

[@jasonbarnes5605]

I've done the Silverton thing and everything was open . Lots of people around and the pub was pumping. Good times. Mundi Mundi lookout at sunset was amazing

[@cindyjay6542]

Miss the talkative Baby girl 😘😘😘

[@garyrobertson1956]

Great episode. A bit of trivia - the BMW at John Dynon art gallery was mine and has actually done part of the Darling River run and been on 2 Cancer Council bash rallies to places like Cameron Corner, Milparinka and Arkaroola where it finally gave up. Left it with John to ‘decorate’ when he gets the inspiration.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Liked, commented and subscribed a long time ago. We love you guys.

[@gnomevoyeur]

I've done some short trips (10-20k) on unsealed roads in my crappy 20 year old lancer but this looks really intimidating. It's a shame because I'd love to visit Menindee. It was an important stop for the Bourke and Wills expedition.

[@zip-tv_]

The caravan park has heaps of history you sld have talk about that.

[@lisamccormick8151]

Another great episode , love you guys 🥰🥰

[@phillkettle5856]

Skoda Octavia.

[@AndrewSmith-sl9up]

What an epic road trip

[@jasonsmith-cu1xg]

Love your content, so looking forward to learn more about the OKA and how it changes you life on the road.

[@wallywombat164]

If you turn right at the next set of lights, it'l take you straight to the Menindie surf club. 😊😊

[@thepieces01]

Cant believe I didnt spot your Combi here. Great to see our town on your vlog!

[@njpw1402]

Love the video guys can’t wait to go there 😊

[@scottstrailbikeadventures9259]

Passed you guys as yous were coming threw Coffs Harbour the other day rig looks sick would have loved to stop and say gday if you were stopped safe travel guys love watching your vids

[@tonks6153]

Visit Kinchega woolshed also

[@johnmathisen1167]

And they have pumped up the tyres on the vw

[@raysher265]

Definitely looks like a studebaker

[@docbarker3476]

Hi, the doctor here. I believe it is a Simca Aronde circa 1955 model.

[@ianmcoutback52]

did not get real good look at it But it did look like an old Volvo from 70s.

[@gavindereus3643]

Silverton is where I taught my11 year old son and 8 year old daughter to drive up in the dirt tracks there Ty the right

[@Marschy85]

The car looks a bit like a Vanguard from the mid-late 1950s. Hmm, three guesses, three different decades. BTW the road from Toowoomba to Chinchilla is THE bumpiest road in the whole world, lol

[@jungleman4921]

Looks like an old skoda.

[@chrisbull3838]

Looks like a Wartburg. Old East German car.

[@johnholschier7759]

Mistery car could be a Simca Aronde? John. New Zealand.

[@geroldknoebel3836]

I always admire the little mouse, how bravely, she goes along with it all, really fascinating. Laughter Karsten, there are certainly more donkeys with two legs, than with 4, at least everywhere, where I was traveling on the world professionally and that have been well more than 30 different states in almost 50 dozen professional and army years. Good warm with you, oh God, since in the evening a cold beer, goes down like oil.Greetings from Frankfurt

[@pattibob]

Won't you miss this on the OKA😂

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Hahah we’re certain there will always be things challenging us and keeping us on our toes!

[@Cuppa500]

Thanks for another video, I really do enjoy them, ........... but I reckon you need to slow down & take your time a bit more.

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Haha it’s so hard to slow down when it’s crazy hot weather... the coolest spot is behind the wheel - plus we enjoy driving so much!! Thanks for watching... when we have the Oka we’ll definitely slow down more as we’ll have aircon, carry more water and have more room 👌🏼😄

[@fel836]

tell me more about the OKA be great to hear more about the build

[@ian7754]

Did you get to check out Day Dream Mine, half way between Silverton and Broken Hill, not only is it a great tour of a underground mine but also great scones and tea?

[@dups]

I Cant wait till you get the OKA 😁

[@harryloibl5183]

We got a kombi preparing for trips like you perhaps later this year

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Guys, if you don't address that oil leaking onto the exhaust you're going to have A VERY bad time ! ☹️ You know the engine block is magnesium right ? They actually burn and you cannot extinguish the flames.

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Our engine block is aluminium .. and the exhaust get hot but not hot enough to ignite oil that’s for sure

[@johnmalthus4481]

It was either a simple with is French or a skoda from czech

[@johnmalthus4481]

That was simca

[@larrymercer4667]

Maybe a studebaker,about1952,

So much of this vlog was mug shots. While we like some mug shots, many of us would prefer you talked over landscape and shots through a window or windscreen instead. Just sayin'.
