Looks like some pretty rough driving. Great episode guys!

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Thanks guys! This was more of an update info on the road if anyone is thinking about doing it as we were in two minds about doing it because of the Oodnadatta Track breaking stuff! 😬

[@4bootswandering]

Enjoyed the “front of the fourby” view of the road. Hope to see more of that view point when warranted in your videos. 👍 Oh and btw.. Hurry up and upload more videos, we are enjoying this series. 🤣✌️👍

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Cheers for that! I’ll try and not get distracted tonight and finish another video! I get stuck in the reels rabbit hole😝

[@4bootswandering]

⁠@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays Looks like you got stuck in the Reels again 🤣🤣

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

I did but tonight I’ll smash it out, pinky swear!🤞🏽

[@Truckedoffroundoz]

We did the last 25km after the bitumen today 19th of June and it’s the absolute worst part of the track.. no longer smooth.. we seen heaps of casualties on the side of the road today.. you guys were lucky when you went through ☺️

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Glad you guys made it through! 🤙🏽So it went from rough to rougher? 😂

[@Truckedoffroundoz]

@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays it sure did it went from rough to holy shit 🤦🏻‍♀️ but thankfully out the other end.. the Oodnadatta was the worst around lake eyre and the road to the bubbler about 1.5 weeks ago.. then it all turned to mud on our last day.. handy video though so many can see what they are in for.. some cars you think what are you doing out here 🤣

[@SteveWB]

And the cabinets and drawers were empty upon arrival lol

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

We were all good, no damage! 🙌🏽
