BOGGED ON THE HOLLAND TRACK - Hardest Track Yet!!!

The Holland Track has been on our list for a very long time so we were super keen to tackle it and see what it was like. We almost didn't do it, but the weather this week was perfect and we were in the area so we thought why the hell not? What we didn't realise was that this would be the hardest track we've ever tackled and our old girl ended up stuck in the mud. This is our first track for 2023 and we hope you enjoy watching 50 minutes of craziness... :) Cheers, Karstan, Max and Zu.

Loved meeting you all, I was a little star struck at the time but thanks for the selfie, it really made my day seeing you parked there and chatting to you 😁🥰 Big congrats on the pregnancy, it’s wonderful news ❤❤

    Karsten you "wild man", a wise old man, (my dad), once told me when I was a kid, "boy you go looking for trouble, it'll find you every time!". I kinda think that's what happened there. And don't expect you'll be getting a Christmas card from the W.A. LandCruiser club this year. Props for having a go, but you've got a "preggers" Maxine to consider. Good to see you back in the Kombi, welcome back folks!

    The Holland in a Combi? Hmmm, makes me wonder if we should try in with the Coaster?

    This Oka, the bigger it is the heavy it falls ie weight in mud. goes deeper, harder to extract. Also, like my MB Sprinter 4x4, height and bloody tree branches start to impact.

    Thanks so much for showing so much of the 'real' Holland track experience. I was on my way to Coolgardie in Nov 22 and decided to take the 'scenic' route of the Holland Track. Unfortunately the week before they'd had quite a bit of rain in the region... after a lot of umming and aahhing, I decided that as I was solo, it was not worth the risk. Given the state of the track on your drive (after several months of very dry weather), your experience has highlighted that I made the correct decision. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures :)
