[@jasonbarnes5605]

You guys are an amazing family. Cool dad gorgeous mum and incredible kids. Liam's vocabulary is so advanced for his age.! Loved this episode on the Oodnadatta.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thank you, is very kind of you to say and we are very privileged to have such amazing kids. We sometimes forget how well Liam speaks but he does have a great vocabulary considering hes never really been to school

[@MareeForman]

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Hey Mark & Clem, that was a great video, and we loved the drone footage. The artesian bath would have been nice. You have a lovely little family. We have lots to view with the next episode and some of your older ones. Enjoy the week ahead. Corrie & Lyn ❤

[@sandramunro8514]

Great episode of your adventures. Marla I remember as having awful water-like wallpaper glue!! We were there 25y ago, and bad flies. But all worth it for a family holiday 😊

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Oh yuk!! Weve been quite impressed with the water we could get our hands on out here

[@OutbackBowmans]

Such an iconic track! Love the updates from the kids :D

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha thanks, hes getting good at picking up the camera now

[@jeffgibson7528]

So enjoyed this episode. Bringing back so many great memories 😊

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks guys, we love it out there. In our element

[@jeffgibson7528]

@@Ourwhittleadventure we would love to do it again with no time restraints. Poke around a bit? You showed us things in this episode that we missed and we’ve done it twice lol

[@diannehavelberg5875]

Another great video guys and your back doing what you love❤ enjoy

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

We do love an outback adventure and i think that love comes through in those videos too. So much more fun to put together. Thanks for watching

[@shadygearaustralia5411]

Love seeing your adventures. Its a wild ride.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha definitely can be at times!

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

We won this time!

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

@@Ourwhittleadventure time for 🍗 chicken dinner!! 😂

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@GrabLifeByTheGourlays hahaha

[@paultaylor5073]

Great Episode guys. We have just literally finished the track today so was good to compare! Safe travels

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks mate, hope you enjoyed it out there. We loved it

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

One of my favourite places in Aussie love it and that tracks is great. We were so lucky to get to Lake Eyre when it was almost full of water and managed to walk in it earlier this year. Sad that more and more of it is being locked behind fences. It has been said it will soon be closed off completely unless with specific tour companies. 😢 I bet you loved the painted desert it’s epic.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

That will be a shame if they completely block it off, is one of the big draw cards of the track! We love it out there too, so much to see along the way and yes we loved the painted desert! So glad we made the effort

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@@Ourwhittleadventure yeah we are heading back to the painted desert I have plans to hit it up with the mountain bike.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@filthyoffroadadventures oh that would be cool

[@LukeMitchellCollins]

Glad we weren't the only ones whose UHF antenna fell off (twice) on the William Creek road. After that trip, plenty of loc-tite on the threads and a ring of electrical tape and it hasn't budged since. I hear some large heat shrink also works for a neat job.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha yeh reentless corrugations can do weird things. Mine snapped but it always does, downside to buying that cheap style, easy to replace but easy to break 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ouroz_adventures]

Ahh the Ood track … always an adventure….gr8 ep guys. Lachie can’t believe how much Liam has grown

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Hes getting so tall now! And to think he was Heaths age when we left

[@ouroz_adventures]

@@Ourwhittleadventure Lachie is taller than us now and his sister ain’t far behind 😬

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@ouroz_adventures oh wow!!

[@ouroz_adventures]

@@Ourwhittleadventure yup

[@dontdyalusweretravelling4718]

❤ the vid guys, what a great part of Oz hey!

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

It is, we loved it the first time even though we copped some damage. Loved it even more this time

[@kayenash5481]

Great shots guys!❤

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thank you

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

Love the Oodnadatta track!

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

So do we!!

[@jeanettebrook4631]

Liam’s becoming quite the commentator. Pity you couldn’t get down to the lake. Great to see the little one wearing his headgear. Maybe it’s the flies the encouraged him to leave it on. Enjoy your time. I love watching your videos.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Heathy is getting much better at wearing his hat and fly nets now which is good! Liam wants to be more involved so im happy for him to pick up the camera if he wants to. Thanks for watching, was a great adventure

[@davekerr8133]

How long ago did they rip up the railway line? Was it the line from Darwin to Adelaide?

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

It was relocated in the 80s, the new line is still used today between adelaide and alice springs but this one is all just heritage now. All those spots, Beresford, Coward Springs etc were all sidings

[@kayenash5481]

Thank you 😃 ❤

[@paulchambers4844]

Dingo fence alarm to scare them away

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Ha! That makes sense! Thanks

[@paulhardie9450]

How is your fuel usage just dawdling along on tracks like that, I’d say you’d be between 60 to 80 mostly so the old girl would revel in it even towing ? Lovely countryside if ya the time to look around 👍

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Ooh yeh lived juat cruising at that speed in 4wd with a tail wind. Math came in at 17.5L/100 Maree to Oodnadatta, out to Painted Desert and to Coober Pedy without needing fuel. I put 15L in the sun tank at Oodnadatta just as back up but didnt need it
