The handle for the wind up jack being the wrong way around! 😂 so funny! My dad took me and the family along here as kids, the local cop said, yeah, you’ll be right.

I used to cycle many kms around Australia when a young fit indestructible fella as well. We do it cos we can :) Cheers, RJ

That's right. Nothing beats cycling the good old dirt road. 🚲 Though I heard that a lady once attempted to skate board Tanami track few years ago...

My dad did a lot of surveying for Telstra back in the 80s and I often went with him. The Oodnadatta track was one of the may places we went. This is where my love for camping began. Thanks for the tips. Yes get a real jack lol. Nothing worse than a flat I had 3 in as many weeks once 😩

You missed the Algebukina Bridge just south of Oodnadatta. It’s my favourite outback free campsite alongside a permanent waterhole. The bridge is the longest bold Ghan Railway bridge

Try putting the handle on ya Jack around the other way so the handle part is facing away from the jack.

Hey Justin, Here is a few tyre repair hints: 1. Cut your plugs in half. 2. Once you push your plug in, rotate a quarter turn 3. Cut off excessive plug once plugged. Just a few hacks ive used in the bush.

Justin another great video. In 2012 I did a stint over in WA working for Gina Reinhardt managing teams of surveyors. We 4WDrove virgin bush, no tracks all day every day. Three vehicles, 6 spares between them. I use to average changing 2 tyres/day. Once we hit 3, we'd call it and turn tail and head home. I couldn't get caught out in the bush over night - SOP's for Gina. So, home we went! Sometimes we'd pick up a 4th extricating ourselves out off the tracks we'd made on the way home, but mostly we made it- stressful to say the least. They were all split rims so after a long day I then had to have a beer of course while breaking down the rims and inserting tubes in all the punctured tyres. Then after that I'd try and fix a few punctured tubes ready for the next day. 12-14 hour days - Lots of fun. 🤣

Very informative. I agree the Oodnadatta Track is a great outback drive. We had perfect conditions in June 2013 and were the only 2WD car we saw on the Track in our 15 year old Citroen Xantia turbo 1.9 diesel with 120,000 kms. The fabulous height adjustable hydropneumatic suspension with front wheel drive was probably the most comfortable way for Marree to William Creek, Oodnadatta, Coober Pedy in one day. A fair bit on the track had been recently graded, there was just enough light rain to quell the dust, but too much on the short cut from Williams Creek as it closed that day. Lake Eyre was full, and not many flies.. but we did not camp. Marree Hotel and then the Underground Motel. Fabulous. No punctures and 5.4 litres / 100 km diesel. Loved it. I think the relatively light load and super compliant suspension and road grading contributed to the track being gentle on our Michelin road tyres.. Not somewhere I would attempt the Citroen party trick of driving on 3 wheels!!

Love the Swedish log candle. Great idea. Booh-yah.

Rode my bicycle up through the Flinders Ranges to Marree, up the track to Oodnadatta, then south west towards Cooper Pedy, then west through Painted Desert to Ackeringa and Copper Hills Stations, then onward to Cadney Park roadhouse.
