The iconic Oodnadatta Track! Travelling Australia in our Y62 Patrol

Episode 15 - Our lap of Australia
In this episode, we drove from Marree to Marla along the famous Oodnadatta Track.
Where we stayed:
Marree Hotel
Free night’s stay out the back of the hotel if you buy a meal. Would have been cheaper to pay for accom somewhere but that’s the joys.
Coward Springs
An oasis in the middle of nowhere. They have done well setting this place up.
Pink Roadhouse Oodnadatta
Lives up to its name. Pretty cool how everything is pink. Great Oodnadatta burger!
Marla Caravan Park
Good spot to wind down after the track. It has grass and water to wash down your car.
Thanks for watching!

Until next time... Tristan, Mel & Paislee

Thks a great vid.

[@robyndehavilland1609]

Yes 3 corner jacks are burned into my Adelaide childhood memory 😂. I enjoyed your Oodnadatta experience, love the Aussie outback.

[@chasinganadventure]

I didn’t think the name of them would escape me, slightly scarred from all the ones imbedded in my feet 😂… Thanks for watching, we definitely love the outback as well 👍

[@paulbrown6657]

Thank you you’re video very informative

[@chasinganadventure]

Thanks for watching Paul, we hope you enjoyed it !

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Enjoy your videos. Different strokes for different folks as we are so much happy on dirt and safe when we hit the black top and love that part of the country. We always comment on how there is nothing but at the same time so much to see. You should’ve headed to the painted desert while there. Look forward to seeing your Uluṟu video.

[@chasinganadventure]

Thanks guys ! We definitely enjoyed being out in the dirt but also loved the black top as well. We know what you mean about nothing to see but so much to see as well, you can’t explain it over film until you are there. We actually didn’t know about the painted desert until after the fact which we are devo about !

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@@chasinganadventure did a good job showing it. You can always do the painted desert without doing the track again if you come from Coober Pedy. Looks like you will have to head back again 😂 Look forward to getting some more time to catch up on you new episodes 👌

[@ProjectRoaming]

Great episode Saus! Loved it mate, top job.

[@chasinganadventure]

Thanks guys !

06:55 They're basically Caltrops; with a different name, not only in each state, but regionally as well. In the ACT they're names Ram's Heads and the bane for mountain bike riders.

[@frankkerwick1084]

Great vid guys loved it 👍🏻 👏 👌 😊

[@chasinganadventure]

Thank you so much Frank!

[@user-ky4rz2sn8v]

Hi guys, thanks for that trip, Gee the price of fuel is a bit expensive but unavoidable. That dip in the small tub looked great but I wouldn’t want to be first in there could have been a dead body in there. 🥴your little girl was very good as you said and of course the dog. But god the bloody flies They were shocking anyhow thanks for the trip very enjoyable take care Jon🇦🇺new member.

[@chasinganadventure]

Hi Jon, Glad you enjoyed the trip !! We knew the fuel was going to be expensive but as you said it was unavoidable. It was hilarious watching Mel get in the pool at Coward Springs !! Paislee and Archie are definitely well seasoned when it comes to travelling, glad you enjoyed the episode and so glad you subscribed 😊

[@tildesleystravelaus]

Great Ep Guys! Much better experience then we had on the Oodnadatta haha... How cool are the metal scupltures! We spent so long there :) Definitely a once off experience too. Tristan - "oh I must of hit a tree" XD lol

[@chasinganadventure]

Thanks Fam !! We had a great trip, the sculpture’s were awesome. So Devo the awning got damaged we know exactly where it happened now lol….. Rule number 1 always make sure your mirrors are cleaned and adjusted correctly lol

[@kman6482]

In Perth, we call them Doublegee’s, well that’s all I’ve ever known them to be.

[@chasinganadventure]

What a name ! We haven’t heard of that one before lol

[@Accolades70]

Great vid... One Day.......

[@chasinganadventure]

Maybe one day!

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

Love the Oodnadatta track! You missed the Algebuckina bridge. Great spot to stretch the legs. Our boys spent time at the crossing catching little spangles. We call the goat heads those prickles in QLD.

[@chasinganadventure]

We did miss the bridge and were kicking ourselves once we realised. Hopefully we can live that part of the track through some other travellers content 😂…. Haven’t heard goat heads before that’s a good one and we are both from Qld hahaha

[@stuartkcalvin]

Nice VLOG, subscribed.

[@chasinganadventure]

Thank you Stuart

[@jasonkennedy9165]

It was awesome to see you guys on the track and thanks for the advice you gave us ….wish you told me about the tiring the cable together before I left

[@chasinganadventure]

Hi Jason, was so good meeting you guys ! No problems on the advice, just wished I shared that last bit to you as well. We hope guys are well and enjoying the trip west 😊

[@jasonkennedy9165]

Mel Loved the video, you guys are a blast.. Keep doing the vids as I’m hooked for week episode We are well, we are in Port Lincoln great place heading towards coffin bay

[@chasinganadventure]

Weekly episodes for sure ! We can’t wait to get down there and check out the area 😍

[@johnclarke8282]

Thanks for video. How did doggo deal with the 3 cornered jacks?

[@chasinganadventure]

Hi John, hope you enjoyed the video, your surprise he hasn’t picked one up yet. We are very mindful of where he walks though, he stayed in the car when we went through the sculpture park.

[@stuartkcalvin]

13:50 I once got bitten by a snake. After two days of excruciating pain, the snake finally died.

Please don’t let your children destroy our historical site like others have.

[@chasinganadventure]

Not sure what you mean by this ?

[@bill5300]

Agree, saw it twice in you video at around the 11.30 mark.

[@johncumberland2762]

Have you had a chance to see it yet?

[@chasinganadventure]

We have seen, thanks for letting us know.

[@karavanningdownunder]

Haha funny episode. I don’t understand why so many people rate coward springs. It felt creepy to us. Dalhousie springs is so much better every day of the week in our opinions.

[@chasinganadventure]

Thanks guys ! I think coward is great for the experience, during peak season it would be not enjoyable at all either how many people will roll through. You wouldn’t get any privacy or alone time, it’s been good travelling a little early.

[@stuartkcalvin]

Please buy a chest harness for Archie. The days of leading a dog by the neck are over.

[@chasinganadventure]

We generally always walk him with his harness, most likely left it in the van this day by accident.

[@zaundy]

Standard price here in NZ 😢

[@chasinganadventure]

That’s out of this world, we couldn’t afford to travel at that price !

[@johnpitt2742]

[@chasinganadventure]

They sure stop you in your tracks! 😂
