EPISODE 16 - Borderland Big Lap of Australia
The Oodnadatta Track - Part 1/2
Join us for this epic overlanding and 4WD adventure along South Australia's iconic Oodnadatta Track! In this episode, we travel through the Painted Desert before kicking off at the historic Pink Roadhouse in Oodnadatta. Our journey leads us to the old Algebuckina Bridge (originally built for the Old Ghan Railway) where we set up camp amidst stunning desert views. From there, we continue our roadtrip to Coward Springs, a serene oasis in the outback and kick back in the hot springs. This is bush camping and offroad exploration at its best! This South Australian Outback journey is not one to be missed!

We have just found your channel and wow. Beautifully put together video you make some of the big channels look like amateurs.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks so much guys! Such a nice compliment honestly. It's always our goal to do these epic spots justice if we can :) Your channel looks great too - just subscribed 👍

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@@BorderlandExplorers we got to do some of that area last year but we are heading that way again next month including the Flinders, can't wait.

[@karencoombs1765]

Spectacular landscapes beautifully captured....look forward to part 2 😍

[@BorderlandExplorers]

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you :) If you find anyone willing to fund more travel let us know - we'll go with you :p

[@mervynmurray1493]

So cool! You guys should have your own TV show. Will be doing that track for sure. 😎👍

[@BorderlandExplorers]

haha thanks for the support!! :) We would be up for round 2 if you end up doing it

[@thosebikepackers]

So many incredible shots! Well done. Can't wait for the next one...

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks so much! :) next one is coming very soon - how good is the Oodnadatta!!

[@antoninosolano7667]

Awesome guys love your content and how you present it beautiful relentless country 😂

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you :) We really appreciate you taking the time to watch! Definitely try our best to do these places justice

[@Always_Sunday_yt]

Loved how you still used your indicator out there. 😁

[@BorderlandExplorers]

hahhah I rewatched that scene after you're comment and realised I did that.... how embarrassing :p Such a habit - wasn't even a conscious thought. Thanks for watching :)

[@CatherineWilliams-mn9vh]

Awesome episode guys!!! Looking forward to part 2! I don’t know if I could do all the flies though 😂 patch collection is looking fantastic 👌🏼

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks fammm!!!! yeah they were pretty crazy by the end haha Very proud of our patches - its a bit of an addiction now :p

[@zoezoe610]

Thanks and looking forward to your Flinders trip. We have just returned from the Flinders and had an amazing time.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks for watching :) The Flinders are beautiful hey - hope you found some epic camping spots there!

[@zoezoe610]

@@BorderlandExplorers Yes we stayed at Wilpena, Rawnsley Station and Mount Little Station and did some long drives through the ranges from there. Nice up there.

[@ralfralf9273]

Great stuff,now i have to do the oodnadatta track again😁

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you! :) Yes definitely - we are already keen for round 2 as well

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Welcome back, another Great Video from you two. We did the Oodnadatta Track from Marla to Lyndhurst in 3 days. There is so much to see on it. Fly netts are a must. Had tea at William Creek Hotel. Excellent meals. It was a mainly dry track, with only a couple of puddles. Safe Travels.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks so much for checking this one out! Sounds like your oodnadatta adventure was just as good as ours :) We will definitely have fly nets next time...

[@lucylips3983]

I reckon someone has to invent rechargeable clothing, that zaps flies.. 🤑🤑🤑 Mum had stubby coolers, tea towels, and hats from the laps we did back in the 80's and 90's.. we still have some tea towels from here and there. I will always remember some roadhouse somewhere had a crow in a cage that said "go awaaaayy" when anyone approached it. I highly recommend laps of this beautiful land, instead of school 🤠. Thank you for sharing your adventures 😊

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Now THATS an idea! Imagine if they’d all just drop off you the second they landed on you. We’d buy them! 😂. The crow sounds hilarious. Sounds like you did some awesome trips - I know we’ve learnt so much about not on my our country through the process, but about ourselves as well. Thanks for watching - we’re glad you enjoyed it! 😀

[@joejohnson6942]

Nice work guys

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks so much :)

I just did a trip around the northern end of WA,a trip of 4000km with a caravan with a weight of 2500kg. It was a very relaxing trip ,no complaints at all. For towing I like it very much.very steady and safe. This car feels very safe on the road.my model is the GLS .

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Wow, what an awesome trip! We love all of WA, but particularly the Northern end - some beautiful spots up there. Glad to hear your setup is treating you well - a 2.5tonne van would be a nice size to have 😀

[@Accolades70]

Great episode... have you had any issues with the BUMP STEER issue on the DMAX ??

[@AZMUNDOGATES]

Just subscribe. You guys are great

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you so much! 😀

just subscribed you guys seem cool great quality camera work and interesting narration, you two will make fantastic parents if that's what you want to do

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you so much mate, that means alot to us! :)

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Hey guys can we ask how you get the patches to stick to the carpet on the canopy door??

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Hey guys! So sorry for the slow reply. We used Selleys Kwik Grip Spray Contact Adhesive to stick the carpet to the canopy door and then just bought some stick on velcro and put that on each individual patch as we bought them (obviously hook side only - the carpet then acts as the loop) 😁 It's been pretty fun collecting them.

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@@BorderlandExplorers awesome thanks. Yes its fun collecting them, we use to collect stickers but they can't be moved like a patch.

[@johnclayton5386]

Hi guys, came across your channel today. Watched your Oodnadatta track and well done on the pronunciation of the bridge even here in South Australia. There’s always some bickering over the pronunciation.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you haha! We do our best to pronounce place names correctly (sometimes we forget to check though and have no reception to google it when we are filming). Loved it out there - beautiful part of SA!

Sponsored by Ringers yet?

[@BorderlandExplorers]

😂😂 nothing yet. Surely soon though!

[@logik1677]

what months did you guys do at high country? (trying to gauge weather)

[@BorderlandExplorers]

We were there around March/ April and found the weather to be really nice. Cooler at night, but not ridiculously cold. And the days were a perfect temperature. We were lucky to have no rain too 😀

[@logik1677]

@@BorderlandExplorers That sounds absolutely perfect! So great you are able to record all these great times and memories, now they're all immortalized! :D thanks ill be aiming for that next year too :D

hello Greetings from the province of Florence municipality of Pontassieve in the province of Florence, Italy, I see that many 4x4 off-road vehicles in this place are not equipped with specific mud tires, it seems to me that they have All Terrain tires that are not good on these dirt roads with the presence of mud?

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Hello, thanks for watching! We chose to use the All Terrains due to the distances we expected to drive around Australia - we did a full lap of about 37,000kms in 12 months, so it was about finding a balance with the fuel economy (given that some mud terrain tyres will often use a bit more fuel) 😀
