Planes, Trains and an Offroad 4WD. The Must-Do Oodnadatta Track!

[@adventureunlimited]

Great videos guys, always refreshing to see another travel couple interested in showcasing the beauty of the country without clickbait drama! Oodnadatta track is on our bucket list for when we get home to Aus! New subscribers 🤙🏼

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you so much guys, we really appreciate that! We definitely try to keep it real, AND realistic so we are glad it comes across that way. When are you back in Aus? Oodnadatta is such a good trip - you'll love it!

@@BorderlandExplorers Back in 2026 and hopefully finally doing a lap then!

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Love your style guys. We are supposed to be heading that way in a few weeks with goal of seeing water in Lake Eyre but all the roads have just closed due to the rain. Looking like a change of plans will be needed. Same as there will be lots of water but won’t get to it. Thanks again for your high quality genuine content we love it.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks so much guys! We really appreciate you checking out our videos and for leaving such kind comments. Oh such a shame - we would love to see water in Lake Eyre one day. The track conditions can change so quickly out that way hey! Hope you get there soon

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@@BorderlandExplorers the trip was epic and spoiler we not only saw water we got to walk in it 😁

[@CatherineWilliams-mn9vh]

Another great video guys! How cool is the sculpture park!

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks girl!! so cool hey

[@glenno123]

We just done the track. Blew my back windscreen out 20kms out from the Pink Roadhouse. The dude there was extremely helpful.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Oh man that’s such a bummer!! How did you find the condition of the track? We filmed this a couple of months ago before all that rain and it looked like it was getting quite chopped up after we left. They’re great at the Pink Roadhouse though hey 😀

[@spectrumproductions]

Oh no, what’s caused the blow out?

[@glenno123]

@@spectrumproductions A rock flung off the back of the Camper Trailer. It was like a dust storm in side

[@glenno123]

@BorderlandExplorers We loved it. It was like a freeway from Marla to Oodnadatta. Then progressively got worse from Oodnadatta to William Creek, then William Creek to Marree

[@ECBE21]

What a cool road trip! Loved part 1 and 2 guys!! So keen for the next video

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you for watching! We’re stoked that you enjoyed them. Such a good trip 😀

[@AyodanDownUnder]

Thanks for sharing your journey looking forward to seeing your next episode

[@BorderlandExplorers]

No worries and thank you so much for watching! 😀😀

You could almost rachet strap the fuel jerry to the inside of your ladder if it's strong enough.

[@BorderlandExplorers]

That’s actually a really good idea - thank you! I don’t think the inside of ladder will have any issues holding a 20kg Jerry at all - the rear canopy walls have solid reinforcement for those accessories on the back. Cheers for the idea and thanks for watching!

[@mervynmurray1493]

Loved the drone work, amazing landscapes, sunsets and colours. Parachilna Gorge - we've got to go there. Cool way to start a 🔥

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thank you!! 😀. It’s a great spot to get drone shots. No dramas taking your off-road van around Parachilna and the Flinders either. The little firestarter is the best! We think it you every time we use it 😀

[@boby574]

great watch, is a long range tank on the radar?

[@BorderlandExplorers]

Thanks! :) No long range tank at the moment. It is something we have been discussing though, I think we would both be keen to get one eventually.

[@TheCampersAtlas]

Thanks for another great video guys. I'm setting a tourer similar to yours with a rooftop tent, and noticed you use your Maxtrax for levelling your car. Is that generally all you need or do also need some higher levelling ramps? Cheers Gaz

[@BorderlandExplorers]

No worries and thank you for watching! 😀. Yep we only ever use maxtrax for levelling and that’s all we’ve found that we need. We carry 4, and do use all 4 sometimes. I don’t think it’s worth trying to squeeze in extra levelling ramps if you’re short on space!

[@TheCampersAtlas]

@@BorderlandExplorers Awesome thank you so much

[@Bradp72]

Curious, how do you go with condensation in the RTT... you are probably the best to ask given the amount of time you have been living in one now...

[@BorderlandExplorers]

The Bush Company that we run is excellent. We don't get condensation issues at all and we've been in some VERY cold weather in the Vic High Country) with all of the canvas sides zipped up. The key is leaving the condensation vent open and it's good as gold. We did a lap of Australia with a soft shell rooftop tent a few years ago and it was shocking - like dripping wet walls all the time. Definitely depends on the tent :)

Where did you park to see the lake? Were you close to the track or a fair way off? I’m doing the track in a couple of weeks towing a camper trailer and I’ve heard mixed reports on how best to see the lake

[@BorderlandExplorers]

That’s awesome, you’ll love the trip! We have only ever stopped at the carpark that’s RIGHT on the Oodnadatta Track - it’s literally next to the track. That’s where this footage is from. We have seen that turn off that runs to a more northern part of the Lake (looks like it runs along the Western side of the Lake in a Northbound direction) but we haven’t done it and aren’t too sure what kind of condition it’s typically it. Would be interesting to see what it looks like from there though!

[@toddavis8151]

@@BorderlandExplorers and it’s ok to put the drone up?

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

We are supposed to be heading that way too similar time but all the roads in the area just closed. We are now looking at plan b as they may not open in time. The SA government has a great website for the roads worth checking it out.
