THE BINNS TRACK - Mount Dare - Old Andado Station - Alice Springs 

There is SO much fluff on RU-vid, and it's SO refreshing to see the three of you keeping it real. Thank you for the inspirational entertainment!

Love your style, proves you don't need a 4x4 with all the bells and whistles, your videos are so inspiring, safe travels

Wow so bloody amazing!! You are opening my eyes to places in our country I never dreamed of adventuring to and others too … and Zu Zu what a beautiful life ❤️♥️💗

I just watched two of your videos, and I love them. I enjoy outdoor life nature a gift from our Creator.

We are loving watching your trip. Great work, Maxine's smile very rarely leaves her face and you both are always positive. Judy's favourite channel at the moment

@25:24 I spit my water out and couldn't stop laughing. Loved this episode and the beauty of the outback.

What a Wicked Trip, Beautiful Scenery, I Love when your Daughter Zuri was laying in the BullDust & says to Dad, you Wanna Play. You Both are Very Inspirational & Positive in your way's.

ZuZu is so adorable what a lovely family best off roading Aussie adventure 🤩

I literally had the biggest smile on my face the whole way through this. Just found your channel and you are infectious! Raw adventure and just pure fun, absolutely cannot wait to follow you wherever the dirt tracks lead! Xx Chesca

Thank you guys for sharing this. So good. you've given me the confidence to do it in my two wheel drive Mitsubishi Triton

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE VIDEO

Fantastic trip, enjoyed it very much.

What an awesome adventure, we love watching you guys explore these great tracks ✌🏻

Been watching your treks a while now and it’s inspiring me to drop everything and just enjoy Australia. Not sure how long I can remain in my routine till I get to doing what I want . Keep it up 👌loving the inspiration

Great video. Your enthusiasm for the beauty and variety of the Binns Track is inspiring.

Went to Old Andado around 2015 - what a place! Love the video, love the energy, you "get" what it's all about!

I’m loving watching your adventures! Keep ‘em coming guys. 😁🇦🇺👍

love your work guys.

That was so great. I loved it. When I was a kid in Wittenoom, we used to see great flocks of budgies. I look forward to seeing them again. Your journeys inspire me.

Love your kombi adventures, would love to know the specs of your engine sounds really crisp and I noticed it had quality gear in it when you had to replace the rocker thrust spring. TIA I am a retired VW mechanic in Alice Springs if you need anything let me know. Cheers

Amazing adventure.😍

Great trip, stunning scenery.

Enjoying your great adventure , from my comforts,of my van, reminds me of my travels in the 70s ,and working out western Qld, no aircon, flies ,bulldust , long hrs droving, those were the days, Love the way yous travel. Cheers Bevan 🤠🇦🇺

Another great adventure trip guys! Love your endless positivity (even allowing for Karstan’s brief period of doubt prior to leaving Mt Dare). Good idea to always keep your fuel supplies topped-up out there. Safe travels kids! 👍♥️

You've just made this my biggest bucket list track

You guys are awesome, safe travels, & have fun!

Nice to see this track and Old Andado 30 years after we travelled the track (opposite direction) with out three children (12,10,6 at that time). We had the privilege of spending the night with Molly and having dinner around the table with her. Precious. Looks just how it was then - a beautiful memory. Apart from Molly, no other travellers were there. Wonderful. The Simpson Desert is just so beautiful. We made it to Dalhousie Hot Springs after Mt Dare - and again no one was there. I suspect its a lot busier 30 years later :((.

Went 8 times round Oz over 10 years in my Kombi , loved the dirt roads. Kombi's are King! hey?

Thanks for telling us your story, please keep entertaining us.

Another amazing video thanks so much

Great trip and well done by two and a half aventures all the best

love it when ZUZU says Whoop whoop 🤣

Your double punch bug just eats those tracks with that lift. Nice vid guys, really enjoyed the ride.

did a similar trip in 1972. brought back some great memories. thanks

Great video. We were directed to this track when travelling from Old Andado after travelling from Alice via Santa Teresa. We thoroughly enjoyed it and was amazed at the Finke River “forest”. We stopped at Old Andado for a trip to the Mac Clark Conservation Park - again just amazing. When we returned to our camper trailer we were unable to access it until after sundown as the whole structure was covered in Bull ants. We were fortunate to see camels walking along along the sand dunes. We experienced the worst bulldust north of Old Andado we’re it was Series 80 LandCruiser wheel height. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

Love your videos, you prove that you don’t a expensive 4wd and caravan set up to see Australia. You will soon have as many subscribers as Trip in a van do.

Well done guys. Great vids. Enjoying your adventures. Cheers. Alex and Olga.

I really enjoyed your young Family adventure trip in the old Kombi. Glad it did not let you down mechanically. Outback Australia is a huge special place , easy to fall in love with. It brought back memories of when purchased a brand new VW Microbus in 1974 for $4500 and decked it out for Camping and extensive Family Travel. Looking forward of more of your postings.😁

Only been watching a couple of days , But been binging since I found you 3 and your great kombi. love your adventures and your taste in music. Cheers from an old bloke in Newy.

Can see Molly smile as you walked in..

So guys I have only just found your Chanel thanks to Max & Ocy. I've just binged watched all of it from the start. Great fun to see stuff from the other side of the world. I drive a 79 kombi so I feel your pain. Keep going guys envy and greeting from Ireland.

Loved seeing how excited you guys were. If you get the chance, crossing the Simpson is a must do (probably need 4x4 for that). Every one of the 1100 sand dunes and swales is unique.

I am the envy of you guys. I should have bought a kombi. As my first car. Back in the 70s.

It's cold and wet in Newcastle right now, watching this makes me so jealous 😫 Awesome vlog as per usual K, M & Z! 😀 🚙

Wow what an adventure that was. Loved it. You smashed the bulldust

Thanks I had no idea what Bull dust was….awesome video! Love seeing what you guys get up to 🙌🏼🚐

I thought you guys would enjoy the Binns Track! Glad you made it to Alice. We were the guys doing the Madigan Line with the 2-bikes and support vehicle. Keep up the great adventures, we are thoroughly enjoying your videos. 👌

OMG You guys were on the block wot a life style change good on ya my wife use to be the Governess at Old Andado 40 years ago she will love your video 👍 cheers legends

So good to see people touring in something out of the the norm even as a 4wd owner it's great to watch something that isn't landcruisers, patrols or the like love your work #differentsbetter

You guys are very cool👍 from a hilux owner brother, love the combi🤙🤙

great tunes, and the best part is that the Binns track continues way up north through the NT for a great cross section of the state

This channel is super addictive. ❤️ it to the moon & back. Thanks guys! 🐿️ 💕... from Africa. 🦒🌍🍂

Great stuff. Hope others find you as your content is really good. Reminds me of my time in South Africa in a split.

We just did this track from Saint Teresa to Mt Dare with a Ranger and Opus 15 in tow. We did it pretty easy but I’m not sure why you would do it in a 2wd with a baby. What if something went wrong?? I admit the adrenaline was rushing with some parts and the scenery near Mt dare was amazing. Be carful out there as we had to pull some people out of the finke George national park that we’re stuck for over 2 hours in a new Everest that thought by putting it in sand mode it would just drive through sand 😱 not letting tyres down and prepared to spend a few nights in the desert with little water and no food. Loved it but just be carful

Hi, just found your channel. Absolutely fantastic. It's been 2 years since i was up there and you captured the atmosphere so well. Im in Victoria and have subscribed.

you guys are great

That Kombi is a beast 👌👌👏

Just stumbled across your channel, enjoyed the video & subscribed. It was only the video when you were saying goodbye to your house that the penny dropped that you guys were on The Block, doh!!! What a great adventure, looking forward to binge watching to see where you've been. 😀😀😀

Too deadly 🤙🏻 if you love the binns you’ll love the Gary Junction Rd… it’s a Len Beadell track from marble bar back to Alice (via Kintore and dissects the canning).. one of our favs 👌🏻 great to have a yarn with you guys in Darwin this morning!

Well done guys, your doing great. I seen your kombi in Newcastle. I've just came back from Mt dare and the Simpson via the madigan line. Enjoy your journeys Dave My wife just told me karstan you bid for us on a house in Stanley Street when you were an agent. Wow small world Again enjoy yourselves we lived in Alice for 3 years it's great

Awesome video

For your information, you can use Opal in an unleaded car. Opal fuel is a low-aromatic unleaded fuel that doesn't contain the properties that create a high when sniffed. Opal low-aromatic fuel was developed after BP received a letter in 2002 from a concerned person in an impacted community, asking if BP could do anything to help tackle petrol sniffing.

Who needs action film, you guys are Unreal. Stay safe.

love your adventure so real thanks so much

Premature celebration!!! You're only half way there! Binns track to Alice is the start. After Alice it goes all the way to Timber Creek. Well worth the effort. The camps in Gregory Nat Park are terrific, and there is still a lot to see and enjoy along the way. That bulldust out of Mt Dare has to be seen to be believed. Been through it twice now. Not eager for a third. Loved our trek along the Binns.

Rig Rundown on the bus would be great guys! cheers for the videos keep on travellin' this beautiful country :D

Haha, loved this video, first of yours ive watched and first vid in a long time ive watched right through, love this style of editting lol

hey cobber your going to a new level with your vids ay

Super AWESOME !!!, So glad I came across your channel, How bloody good is that Kombi OMG!!! 👍👍👍. I follow about 80 channels and yours is clearly up there as being one of the best, Have caught up on your vids and now up to date and lov'n the content. Too bad about the drone, bit of gaffa tape / cable tie and silicon might hold the gimble in place 😊😊😊 Look forward to more, awsome stuff Guys 🍻🍻🍻 Cheers Andy

Woo hoo Zuri 😃😍

Oh gotta love the Kombi, a really capable vehicle.

cool video im going that way to alice springs from adelaide now

Continue to impress, I'm 64 so kombis and bugs were plentiful as a young fella. Even got to work on em doing my apprenticeship. Just goes to show what a high clearance 2 wheel drive can do in good weather. What a great ol station house. Been up the Stuart Hwy a few times and know what you mean about the colour changes of the dirt.

Bulldust? Bomb it! 😁

Been one of my life mantras - stay outta the ruts, stick to the grooves! 😉

What an episode !! You are proving quite a lot of overlanding "rules/conditions/requirements" wrong - thanks to a sensible Kombi build. Climbing that dune was right up my ally - my favorite spot in the Kalahari desert. Go there at least twice a year. Bulldust looks like scary stuff. Go well.

Lovin’ the advencha with ewes!!

Live the videos guys only just found your channel and this is the first one I watched. We are travelling Aus now and are about to head up to flinders ranges and do Oodnadatta now thinking might do Binns as well we are in a ranger with a 15ft off-road van

Another awesome video guys let’s hope you get the drone repaired or replaced soon 😊

Did the Old Andado track in 1998 when Molly Clarke was still around. Went on to Mt Dare and camped at ruins just beyond on the way to the Oodnadatta track. Great trip.

At 20.28 that Gangster car looks like a Humber Super Snipe, about 1951 or 1952, a British car similar to one used by Sir Winston Churchill. A very comfortable British limousine. Sad that it has nor been restored but powerful and emotive in it's state of rusting patina. Even now it is a real statement.

Hey you have done well we were there at the same time last year the Binns from Oodnadatta to timber Creek now leaving to do it in reverse direction head down to cober pedy leave Toodyay in 6 days ps love the kombi sounds nice great family little girl travels well by the look of things cheers travel safe guys may see you along the way

Great trip! Now I am sure I saw your vehicle in Alice Springs, surely not too many Kombies like yours around!

Inspirational

Oh look who it is... Didn't even know you guys had a youtube channel.. Yay :)

Cannot wait to see you get yourselves a beer and ZuZu finds a pool and friends ❤️

I know what they mean by bull dust I once traveled outback Nsw and QLD in the early 70s past a bull dust pothole where there was a car and caravan bogged you could just see the top of the caravan the guy who was standing by the hole said he was following a semi and it just disappeared lucky for me I’m sitting on top of him now 🙏👍👍

Hi guys. I have run opal in my Suzuki DR650, and Kawasaki 1000GTR (motorcycles) with no issue. The kombi will have no trouble digesting opal. Dont be put off by forums and nay sayers, Opal was introduced to assist in the reduction of petrol sniffing. p.s. Thanks for giving me a look at my home state and home town of Alice🙂

Loved this. Have done this track in both directions in the past but in a 100 Series Land Cruiser. It is a wonderful experience. I actually do own a 1976 Kombi but I don’t think that it will see this track. J 👍😎👣❤️🦎

Love this in a Kombi.. we did some of the GunbarrelHighway in our #KombiSplity

wowww q aventura! se notaban preocupados!! hahahahhaa

I do like your style guys. Who needs $100k+ rigs.

Loved these videos Soo much!!! Did you guys ever run into any strange/scary people along your travels?

We drove from Finke to Andado then S to Mt Dare in #Smoky60Series

You crazy pair of buggers!! But such a breath of fresh air after all the ''have to have'' 4wd BS. I'm jealous but I did see much of Aust in 2wd utes, wagons; and roadtrains carrying live stock . Your tip to the top was educational , and likely so embarrassing to those who felt they had to spend $100-200K to get there . I still have a few more of your videos to watch so it looks like I will be stuck inside for awhile longer :) All the best, I'm longing forward to seeing more from you 3. I was going say keep it safe but that is likely a waste of time as it would spoil your videos :lol: .

I’ve owned two kombis over the years, awesome go anywhere machines….. terrible in head and cross winds though…(well mine were)

👍🍻🛠

Can you tell me what time of year you were here? A Yank from Wyoming here. I was in Oz a few years ago, saving up to go back. Love your adventures! Thanks, and have fun.

well, my first time here and I'm hooked. You guys rock. safe travels.

Go the #Kombi
