  • There’s NO TURNING BACK NOW, we have to keep driving across the SIMPSON DESERT, one of the most remote places in Australia, this is Outback Australia in the Red Centre. This is part 2 of our Overland Travel Documentary in the Simpson Desert on an epic 4X4 road-trip as we travel Australia in our 70 Series Landcruiser (79 Series) and rooftop tent. In this episode we continue along the WAA line and onto the Knolls track, doing offgrid off-road camping along the track after some hard days driving up some massive sand dunes and across vast salt lakes. We discuss the requirements you need to travel across the Simpson Desert such as Desert Parks Pass, high visibility flag and UHF radio on channel 10.
    We discuss how much water and fuel we use as we travel, as there’s no where to get fuel or water until we reach Birdsville. We also show real life, travel life on the road as it happens.

    Congratulations guys you have really found your groove. Looking back comparing your old videos with your more recent … what a difference. Especially enjoying the fact that you aren’t following the other dozens of RUclipsrs all doing the same thing and the same destinations/ routes with the same boring footage.
    How refreshing that you are secure enough to do your own thing. Keep up the good work!

    Just wondering how long you have carried your fresh fruit and vegetables as you seem to manage to keep it all looking very fresh ? Your meals look superb . We can understand how tiring this drive must be with the concentration and the terrain . Thanks for the journey , glad it’s you not us …….we’er too old but it was very interesting following your expedition .

    • @turtletrackstravels
      @turtletrackstravels  11 дней назад +1

      Glad we could take you along for the ride through our videos. It was very tiring from all the concentration. We stock up when we can, after completing the Tanami we restocked in Alice Springs before heading back into the desert, can usually stock a week to 2 weeks fresh stuff, just depends on what we buy, 🤩👍

    Great Vid... Not sure why you would lock the canopy ?? We have a planned E-W trip ....One Day...

    • @turtletrackstravels
      @turtletrackstravels  11 дней назад +2

      Good question! We lock because of all the bumps and any corrugated sections, it will stop a lock from potentially rattling loose and coming undone 👍

    • @barrydixon1
      @barrydixon1 11 дней назад +1

      Exactly what I thought when I noticed you unlock 👍 an extra precaution.

      @ oh you’ll find out - and it’ll probably the hard way, just like all the rest of the people who “think” they know what they don’t know, and would like to convince us they have all the knowledge and experience to tout themselves as a travel channel!

    @fatmanoverlanding 12 дней назад +1

    Good one. I know it's cliche to say, but the camera/video never does justice on how steep some of those dunes can be. And why so much dirt in your canopy with the water spillage? Isn't your canopy sealing the dust well?

    • @turtletrackstravels
      @turtletrackstravels  11 дней назад

      It is well sealed but i think after several months on the road it has built up from lifting things in and out and you don’t wipe off the bottom of the boxes before putting back in and then the dirt gets trapped under the rubber mat 👍
