The iconic Oodnadatta Track! Travelling Australia in our Y62 Patrol

Published 2024-04-16
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

    In Townsville, we used to call them double g's aswell
  • 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.
  • Yes 3 corner jacks are burned into my Adelaide childhood memory 😂. I enjoyed your Oodnadatta experience, love the Aussie outback.
  • 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

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

    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.

    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.
  • 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.

    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

    13:50 I once got bitten by a snake. After two days of excruciating pain, the snake finally died.
  • 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.
  • @johnclarke8282
    Thanks for video. How did doggo deal with the 3 cornered jacks?
  • @stuartkcalvin
    Please buy a chest harness for Archie. The days of leading a dog by the neck are over.
