THE OODNADATTA TRACK Part 2 - via The Painted Desert & Mount Dare

Alright so this trip was so unreal we couldn't just squeeze it all into one episode so here is part two of the Oodnadatta Track. Half way through our trip, heavy rains closed the track, but as soon as they were open we were straight back on the road to continue our adventure! In this episode we travel to the Oodnadatta Roadhouse via the Painted Desert, and then take a detour off the track and head to Mount Dare.
We're completely new to this world of KZbin, but we're having a ball sharing our life and adventures with you all. Thank you for coming along for the ride, we love reading all your comments, and appreciate your likes and shares!
Make sure you've turned on your alerts, as we'll be uploading a new video every week!
Cheers,
Karstan, Max and Zu :)

Great viewing Karstan & Maxine! Just watched on my 65” TV, a better way to go than the iPad 😂😂 Glad I’ve got my HEMA Australia Road & 4WD Atlas to follow your adventures! Can’t wait for the next episode.

The thing in the Spring was probably a Desert Bunyip, lucky escape guys.

[@live_work_play]

The terrible twos... Lol and a lot of us silly buggars go back for more! Love the drone footage before it crashed...

[@stephencawrse9940]

Epic episode love the lots of water 💦 about its good for the country and how about the bum cheek bathers good on ya guys have fun

[@TheVellaterra]

You guys are a great team. Keep your spirits up, your doing great and that little girl is a champion. Mount Dare is the most isolated pub in Australia.

[@Jindarella_]

Bloody hell I love these vlogs! My favourite spot so far is 30:00 Eringa spring. Beautiful except for the unidentified swimming object 😆 😳 lol

[@gonegliding2966]

I've covered so much of this country on a Suzuki DR 650. So looking forward to sharing with my wife in a 4wd

[@paulobrien619]

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Loving your work many thanks.

[@willa0704]

Crazy but epic driving guys. What a road, and the poor drone. Haha thanks for sharing 🙏

[@richardkenna149]

Make sure you get back to the Painted Desert one day, it wasone of the highlights of my outback trip years ago (Flinders, Oodnadatta, Uluru, Katajuta, Kings Canyon, Finke Gorge, Old Andado, Simpson etc)

[@michaelmcpherson3440]

excellent episode guys, loved the yabby's on the open fire thanks for showing us how. And Karstan you've got the moves man! Max is looking gorgeous being prego agrees with her!

[@josephlantz7719]

Just found you guys on KZbin !! Enjoying the adventures with you. I learned how to drive in a VW Bus in France.

[@rossneich6544]

love your positive attitude to life

[@simoncoldwell1506]

Guys I'm loving your videos i discovered them a couple of days ago and I'm binge watching my way through them. I'm stuck in a rainy town called Blackpool England and i have a couple of kombis myself, a 1960 split window and a1968 bay. I love the way you guys are living your best life, I'm so jealous keep you the good work, and stay safe.

[@jcv551]

Great video,I’m speechless 😶 👍

[@anthonyhunter3411]

Bring on the next episode it looks like a banger!!!! This was great too🍻🍻🍻

[@heinschwartz7941]

Well done getting to Mt. Dare - very impressive guys 👌

[@fixitdude74]

I travelled out to Mt Dare on 24/4 to recover a vehicle and camper trailer broken down, the Oodnadatta to mt dare rd was good till Hamilton then was slippery after that, but only for 6kms then was firm there after. Dpti closed the rd behind me so I had to go out via new crown, finke to Kulgera, and back to marla, what a day! then i heard on news of all the travellers stuck between William Creek and Oodnadatta, I was lucky.

[@graeme8755]

The both of you are a good team. One thing people do is to collect stickers from each town you go to.

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

We do that 👌🏻

[@anthonyabela2328]

Hey guys, one thing that made our trip though outback NSW/VIC/SA so enjoyable was Geocaching. You discover so many fun things and most are no more than 200m from the road. Should help the little one a bit also with bit of entertainment, stretch the legs and also helps you to slow down and appreciate everything instead of just going from point a to point b.

[@dylanwebb9584]

Finally confirmed - from Newcastle! Thought I knew the former house/street area. I have a friend in Newcastle who is a Kombi tragic - has been for 40 years. I'm giving him your KZbin series to watch. Keep plugging on.

[@rodhinds4592]

You Guys are killing it , Ive had several Kombis , a 74, 75 and a 77 . Definitely go anywhere , especially with the bigger wheels / I had 15' on mine , looks like you have too. I realise you have to play it safe but you would get it though almost anything. Get yourself a winch if you havent already , dosent need to be big, with a snatch block and plenty of line, use dynema its very light. Thanks for sharing your experiences , maybe slow down a bit, put a limit on how many ks a day you do.

[@themistressexplores]

Going to just share it as it helps your exposure and hopefully gives more likes and subscribers to your Channel

[@lindsayclarke7757]

I love how Karstan just sends it haha! Best travel videos by far!

[@JustcruznRob-AlanaBuick]

Have only just found your channel, u 3 r absolutely crazy, luv it though. Will need to binge some of your Ep’s. Awesome content & editing, keeping it totally real, cheers 🍻

[@ryanwheway4334]

Love the videos guys! Keep them coming ❤️

[@thebuckitlist7971]

Loving your videos 🤙🏼

[@humbertron1000]

Vids are great guys, love your energy. Hoping to take the family up that way (from Tassie) next year. Can't wait for the next one 🍻

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Yewww that’s so exciting... bet you can’t wait!!! Next vid will be up on Saturday afternoon 👍🏻

[@55belmond]

It's a pleasure to watch every trip you make guys ,mate... you are lucky man to have such beatiful family and a woman who never complains.

[@user-hx2kl1ju6r]

loved the attitude, loved the smiles, loved the adventure, loved the vid.. ive done the finke, when the race was on in a ranger, not sure about a combi.

[@Jonesec1]

Very inspiring guys. Can you do a walkaround of your rig explaining your technical upgrades. I always liked the vw van i never realized they were so rugged.

[@graeme8755]

I didn't wait long enough. At the 30 minute mark you have stickers rear of the VW as I noticed there were stickers on the steel work of the van.

[@michaelnugara1]

Bloody magic vid guys. I'll be following your tracks in 3 weeks. Got me all fired up and feel like leaving tomorrow 😂 Gotta check out the river you had a swim in and find that human eating creature 🤣🤣

[@grahammcbride7866]

Haha love it you guys are mental All the money I’ve spent on my 4x4 was a waist shoulda bought a kombi Safe travels guys 👍👍

[@mikhail2400]

I sit here with a smile on my face every time I watch you guys. Watching Zuri swim is a delight and brings back so many memories from when I taught my sons to swim. Keep up the great videos! P.S. The "Terrible 2s" are nothing. Its the freaking 3s you will really learn are the worst. On the bright side it gets better after that. Well at least until they morph into teenagers that is

[@henrygreen19]

So sorry about the drone, but shit I laughed as it was very funny as captured on the video !. Really enjoying your adventures/travels. Enjoy and stay safe !!

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Haha so glad you got a good laugh out of it 😂 thanks for watching.

[@reconadventures9257]

Found your channel last night. And I'm really enjoying your content keep it up guys .

[@AshHughesPhotos]

Beautiful work guys. Nice mix of everything

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Thanks ash 🤙🏼

[@_letescapetogether_]

Loved all 42 minutes of that!! Spewing that you guys didn’t get to get up to the Painted Desert. I hope you get your drone up and running. The camera still works so maybe it just needs some bush mechanics to re-mount it back on❤️‍🩹 Hey, killer action shot you got though and beside the crash we love the drone skills. looking forward to the next one team 💯🙌🏼

[@DogsTrossachs]

Absolutely loving your joie de vivre. Good luck and bon voyage

[@andregysberts8862]

Love your videos and the places you’re taking the kombi 🤙 ps would love a map view or the route you took as we’re thinking of heading to Alice springs from the Gold Coast

Grab yourself the hema desert tracks book .. great info and maps !

Wow. Love the channel. Sub’d. I have to ask…..why the ratchet straps?

Hi to the family May I just take the time to say what a refreshing suprise your Chanel has been to myself. A big Omg at drone into to Wobbly as thats the name I give Vw waggons like yours. Can I ask permission to share your Channel with The Vertical Industries 4wd Adventure group I belong too?

[@agusefendy4066]

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Thanks for watching 😄 our mate Mitch Revs drew our logo 👍🏻

[@CHOPSZOOKER]

This one was a cracker guys! 👌 So the drone actually survived that hit?

Thanks Tim 🤙🏼

[@victoresteve3930]

Lsd is a game changer ..

[@lone_camper_001]

Did you say hi to Jeremy at the Mt Dare Hotel? Looked like him when you first walked in the door on the left walking away from you?

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

it was pretty quite when we rolled in ... lol

[@johncumberland2762]

Mate if I was in with you and you were travelling at that speed on outback roads I’d tell you to pull over and I’ll walk. Enjoy your videos anyway

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Haha 80km to fast for you ?

[@johncumberland2762]

@@KarstanAndMaxine yes especially through some of those bogholes. Having spent most of my time in remote area in emergency services I have seen some bad outcomes of speed/road conditions and it isn’t pretty
