- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Come with us as we take the back tracks through to Australia's hottest town Marble Bar. This track had so much to offer and our old girl was really pushed to her limits when we had to drive through the sandiest tracks we've ever done!
At the end of the track, we take the time to explore the small town of Marble Bar and all it has to offer.
ENJOY GUYS!!! And thank you for watching...!!

Man after my own heart, I set out to complete the lap back in 1992 with a camper and never finished. Yet your just legendary what you’ve accomplished with Siri and the Kombi. Maxine is such wonderful support she’s priceless and you wouldn’t be able to make this journey without each other’s full support. Hat’s off to you both and thanks for sharing what some would consider hum drum we’re along for the ride. All the best!
Love it - just a great piece of travelling this episode !! That bus MUST end up one day in some Australian Hall of Fame. You guys are busy with something absolutely awesome. Best.
Exciting drive guys,especially for this 75 year old! Well done! You took me back to when I was 7 years old,Dad & Mum had a old Ford Utility loaded up with the camping gear ,& us 4 younger kids,carrying down the old sand track to Hasting Point N.S.W. To go fishing for the holidays. So good on you both for the adventure.take care Elaine.
We love that we can bring back memories for you! Thanks for watching 😍
Also love Karstans analogy 'if you dont die, everything else can be fixed'....hes so right! Just go for it...
Haha 100%!!!!
Love these videos especially because they're in my country. My mother was one of the last people to be born in the old marble bar hospital back in 1967. Only a clinic today. Wish I was there now I could have took you guys out hunting emu and kangaroo maybe a bush turkey aswel
I have been to. Marble Bar 4 Times in the last Two yers. I would like to know where you got the take away food you got because it was not available when I was there. Especially the Baine Marie video.
But good coffee
Great episode guys when I travelled through that area in 1977 we walked into the Ironclad Hotel and it was segregated.. knocked my socks off
There’s a difference between being negative and speaking up for what’s right. You did the right thing by mentioning it on the video because it’s important to say when people are inappropriate. Also good that you held your tongue in the moment. You need to pick your battles.
Omg love your honesty ‼️.... and life advice 😅
Thanks guys!!!!
Really enjoy your vids, going on tracks we can't do with a van!! Zuri and the lemonade was priceless, her sigh so cute.
We had a kombi camper back in the 70’s. Sold it to buy a house & a suburban lifestyle, would love to go back to those carefree days when we didn’t have a care in the world. Now we’re watching while in Isolation with Covid, you are giving us inspiration to get out of the rat race & get out there again🤔Cheers guys, keeping making great memories 😎
“We could have gone the easy way” lol never gonna happen on this channel! 😂❤
Awesome content which has brought back many memories of my 1989 lap in a '73 green Kombi camper. Broome was a highlight and I'm planning to return in 2023 - sadly not in the original bus which was sold many years ago. Safe travels.
Glad we could help you reminisce!!! 🤙🏻
That was Wicked as travelling the real outback tracks, way more interesting & thing's to see, loving your adventure
Cool adventure, Jasper is normally cut and polished, for colours, I'm a Sapphire miner, a lot of my friends travel and collect semi precious stones all over Australia, My interest is mainly sapphire and zircons, diamond, gold, Enjoying your travels Cheers Bevan from Sapphire Central Queensland 🤠❤️🇦🇺
It’s people like the ones you ran into in Marble Bar that are helping to kill off remote town locations. It’s a shame because I know first hand there are many people in the Pilbara that would give a arm and leg to help out others in need. Love your work 👍
We are big fans of small towns! They are filled with beautiful people and need the support. Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
@@KarstanAndMaxine from what you say reminds me of film Hotel Coolgardie...
@@temotu518Absolutely. Terrible documentary.
Once upon a time this was all the rage, pack your car, your family and just drive without a care in the world. Man you guys bring back some wonderful memories travelling this great land of ours, good'onya matey, well done and most importantly, these are the memories your daughter will cherish for years to come.
Keep on keeping on brother and don't let the odd fuckstick ruin your day🤙
Thanks mate! So great to hear you enjoy our episodes 👍🏻 we’re having a ball!’
I did a recent stint in port Hedland and had to travel to marble bar several times for work. I installed the security system at the general store and road house. Every time I went to that place it was dead like a ghost town and the few people there were always weird. There’s a reason you don’t hear about the town very often. This video was bang on haha
The people at the General Store were super friendly 😄 thanks for watching!
Got my first kombi in 1990 when it was 18 years old and me 20. Kept her for 5 years and had many adventures, she got totalled in an accident (not my fault) and written off and that was that. Your videos have made me start looking for another one. Great spirit you have. Good luck people. 🏴🏴
Lucky this 61 yr old girl wasn’t there in the pub …well done Karstan for biting your tongue ..think I would’ve told them how rude and to f…k off 😳 glad you got out of there enjoy next leg of trip … Love your videos , family and of course The Kombi 👍🏻
You guys are Ace. You are so Inspiring and adventurous.
We've are just selling our house. Have the ute and caravan ready.
We will see you on our Teavels.
Love you guys
Love your format, who needs a 4wd when you've got a Kombi? Looking forward to more adventures in the outback.
Thanks mate 👍🏻😄 we have many more outback adventures planned!
Love your adventures guys and I really love that Combi. You sure take it to places that would test the best 4WD’s. Just to inform you that I recall Cloncurry in Qld is the highest recorded temperature in Aus but Marble Bar is the hottest for the longest period of time. Keep your adventures coming and, please, when your next on the Teletrack, let us know in advanced as I would love to see youse there one day. Onyas……
Power steering by Karstan. (I just realised you have no power steering).
That was sensational guys, a true demonstration of resilience and gumption by all three of you. #RESPECT
Thanks Mate!!! The Kombi is filled with challenges but we bloody love it 🤙🏻
So sad you guy's had a bad experience at the pub especially after that challenging track as there is some really cool stuff to see around Marble bar, the local swimming hole with all the Jasper going into the water and the colours are amazing when you splash it. Then Dooleena Gorge not far south on the way to Port Hedland.
Keep up the great content guy's and we hope you get to see some more treasures.
Thanks for watching and for the tips! We’ll be back to explore this area again 👍🏻
Adventure plus! You're so right guys, you don't need all the best stuff, most of the best adventure can be had in an old VW Kombi, and that's a fact.
Lovin' it...
Another awesome episode guys disappointed in Marble Bar hotel we had similar experience in WA OUTBACK town Yalgoo we felt very uncomfortable had our drink and left 😢
Great clip guys, thanks for showing us around. Nice to have you on my bus the other day too. Cheers Steve
Wild Guys I don’t think I have seen Territory like this unbelievable sky & landscape
I know if I would take the combo with my Family.
Look forward to watching your adventures take care awesome stuff
Safe travels Cheers
How amazing is it 😍 we were blown away!! Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
Love love love you guys...Such good honest interesting content. And Karstan is a miracle worker with the kombi - so skilled and knowledgable. My hubby had combis in London all his youth and has a real love affair with them. You guys will one day be the number one couple to watch!
Nice one, I need to add some Australian overland trips to my bucket list.
Hell yeah you do!
Love your approach. Back roads are best!
You guys are so intuitive and your philosophy tidbits (especially Max) give so much insight and character to your journey's. It has been fascinating keeping up with you all. Those clouds are interesting and perhaps it rained within a week of being there?
Another awesome video and I love the attitude “you can’t fix die” so very true. Take the back roads and enjoy life.
G'day folks. Calling in from across the ditch. There's a story about an old stockman who dies. He sees the devil and says to him. "Fair Crack of the whip mate, you don't scare me with ya stories of lakes of fire and heat. I come from Marble Bar."
I've never been there, but I'll hava crack at it. Pity about the negative reception you had Maxine, not nice at all. No excuse for that sort of carry on. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and for taking the time to upload. Until next time, take care.
You're legends guys...love your adventures.
❤️🤙🏻 thanks for watching!!!
❤️🤙🏻 thanks for watching!!!
Cute baby, understanding wife, and rugged micro......what's not to like? Great vid.
Karstan, Maxine, Siri & Combi: you guys are legends. Thanks for sharing your travels and daily life. Stay safe. Cheers Andrew Browne
So so true; it is always worth get off the coast where all the bloody people are.
What an amazing sky you had above .
Imaging that sand river in flood ? What sight but we must never forget those rivers are prone the flash flooding with storm water that can come from many miles up stream . Not the place camp or even get bogged in ;)
You crazy pair of buggas --- loved that one !!
King and Queen of the brown dotted line. Safe travels🍻
Another awesome vid! WooHooo! PS I’m glad you commented on the chauvinistic behaviour at the bar and called them out.
You guys are living my dream 😔. Props to the ol combie, that things built like tank.
Yeah she’s a weapon!!!!
Great episode guys,love watching your adventures around our beautiful country
There's 2 places in Marble Bar that would have answered your pre Bar questions and possibly given you the low down on what to miss. The museum at the town hall(top of the hill) and the museum at the mine on the east side out of town. Really interesting history and specimens to check out.
Thanks for the info 👍🏻 we enjoyed our time exploring the area.
Doğal ve yalın
Hey mate, a Yank here. I've read about spinifex, and heard about it ,but have never seen it. Could you possibly get a shot of it and show us what it looks like? I remember reading about Burke and Wills, and they were cussing the spinifex. Thanks, and keep up the great vids! Also, what time of the year were you here?
Well not a lot in marble bar hey! But I loved the tracks getting there. The clouds were awesome throughout the episode
Hi, nice to follow your journey through Australia I traveled around 1972-74 and worked in an iron mine in Shay Gap north of Marble Bar. It would be fun if you came there so I could see what it looks like now. Now I live in Sweden but long to return to the wilderness of Australia.
Good luck on your continued journey.❤
Hi Nils
I worked in Shay gap back in the 90’s
We disassembled everything and now there’s nothing there
People across the state bought the houses and they were trucked out
Thanks for the reply, I have understood that it was the end of the mining so then it is wilderness again. Good luck, I will follow your wonderful journey on RUclips.
Awesome adventure 😎 Great content 👌 Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦 👏 😀
I'm going to be upset when this adventure ends awesome content enjoying from NZ
I agree with your opinion on the pub the day I stopped for a few I didn't like the vibe or the fcken flys so I retreated back to the roadhouse booked a room n drank me fill. Next day Nullagine pub which was a lot better n friendlier than Marble bar won me over so much that anytime I got a chance I'd make the trip from auski roadhouse.
Thanks for the tip. We are always up for a pub visit 👍🏻
Hi guys, another great trip. yes you do get some men acting like fools, in pubs. in my day you did not carry on like that when women are around. but life is different these days. well stay safe. happy trails. cheers Owen.
This was wicked guys been following for a little while now and loving your videos and love the honesty 👌 we are in the middle of getting our big rig ready to head up that way soon we are from the south west a little town called Collie if you guys ever come down this way we would love to show you guys the sites and I cook at our local pub and would love to make yas a big feed with an icy cold beer 🍺 ✌🏼 till then adventure on can’t wait for the next video and where we are of to next im taking notes 👌xx
Thank you for being decent people 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷❤❤❤
Hello 👋🏻 and welcome to our channel 🤙🏼😄
Another awesome video guys ❤
Friendly bakery and roadhouse, possibly arseholes at the pub....all good tips ...thanks guys..:)
Definitely worth a visit! It’s a beautiful area 👍🏻 and small towns need support.
Marble Bar got its name from the jasper. If you had gone to Chinaman's pool, there is a large bar of jasper that looks very much like marble when wet.
We didn’t go to the pool. Have heard great things about it though 👍🏻
Sorry I’m a bit late watching I’ve been busy banging out all the other travel videos 😂
Nice one Legends, not sure the Silverline could take the dips👍
I'm so disappointed your visit to the Pub was not a happy one. We were there a couple of months (July) ago and had dinner at the same pub with a lot of other people and it was OK, so I can't understand why you weren't treated the same. As a West Australian I am very sorry. I enjoy your videos so keep doing what you've doing.
Could you do a review of the van,
Suspension
Transmission
Tires
Bed
Kitchen
Refrigerator
Solar & Batts.
Cheers Mark
"You see where other people have come around onto this track..."
Yeh...I did that with tracks in the snow. I wonder what happened to those people bcs we found out the hard way that sure as hell wasn't the walking track.
respect for leaving that pub in peace i think if i heard what you saying they were like i would have to teach them the art of keeping big mouths shut
Aesthetically pleasing
Great journey to marble bar but seems like a little disappointing experience in the pub. No wonder you didn't spend much time in town. Did you know about your OKA at this point of your trip?
It's quite interesting because that area of Australia was once part of an inland sea that's how the mookaite jasper crystal formed
Very interesting!!!
With the white patch on the nose, and the word you were looking for, could it be "debonair". nice country around the "Bar"
Wow to the Three of you! Fantastic trip, epic! One question: which digital map is it you use, the one showing you the dotted line tracks?
Hey so glad you enjoyed it!!! We used Memory Maps 👍🏻😄
@@KarstanAndMaxine Thank you! So weird I never came across that…..
4.55, "without a map ypu would not know which way to go!"
5.25, With a map it is still possible to misinterpret, which way to go!
17.35, Right tire pressure might go further, easier, than right foot?
18.15, The easier way is not such an experience, such an enjoyable adventure.
Karstan - I noticed in your video of Marble Bar - the hottest track in Australia, at about the 21min mark a dark spot in the upper part of your right earlobe. Have you checked it out? Cheers John and Annie
Haha yeah that a desexed dog tattoo I got when in cape York !
Hi you guys, I love what your doing and I’m curious what is the mapping app you’re using
It’s memory-maps
That’s it 👍🏻
Loving your vids guy but do you question the weired clouds in the sky lately like not normal
Love the content. Just worried about your daughter holding her feet against the dashboard xxx
Love all the episodes, shame the Marble Bar pub was a shit vibe, hopefully you guys don't come across too much more negative crap in ya travels, be aware when you hit the Newman area if ya go there, stay close to the Kombi 🤙🏽🤙🏽 look forward to the next, we live in the South West, you gotta hit up Brunswick when ya down this way, Big Tree Road area, free camping, beautiful area, plenty of little streams throughout the area, hills, mud, rutts, rock, has it all, also Collie has the Black Diamond Lake(no camping anymore) , Wellington Dam and Stockton Lake 👌🏽
So are you using crude oil to keep your engine cool..😂.. Good ol air cooled even in the hottest weather..
NUTZ BRO....can I make it in a 1984 hilux???
Would you believe I drove my 1600 cortina with trailer on the same route many years again thank goodness it was dry season
Yeah we can believe it !! That would of be fun 🤙🏻
So when are you guys attempting the Canning Stock Route? lol
Probs next year 👍🏻😄
What an adventure, what maps app do you use?
Memory Map - HEMA 👍🏻
Well Done Kilo & Mike..................
After you finish your trip write a book it will sell l would buy one of your trip
that is just the average temperatures. My understanding is the hottest temperatures recorded in Oz were at Marble Bar. You need a drone I reckon to help you see what yer heading into
Yeah we try to use our drone as much as possible! They certainly are helpful for seeing what’s ahead 👍🏻
have to worry about those tight tracks dont want to paint the scratchwork haha
Wear those bush stripes with pride. My D2 Landie has plenty of them.
Haha! It just add more character!!
Pretty disappointing that blokes have gotta be grubs in the company of women. I’m sure the kind of men you talk of are in the minority, at least I hope so.
Great watch guys.
Keep ‘em coming! 👍😁🇦🇺
Hey Guys, Jamie here what map app are you running on your phone what have you found us best?
Memory Map 👍🏻
❤👌
Muster with your VW it would be cool 🤣
Why didn’t you send the drone up to have a Squizzy?
We do it sometimes but also keeping the journey a bit suspenseful is fun, not knowing what lies ahead is part of the adventure 🤙🏻
liked
Hows the power steering in the combi lol
Haha!!! It’s like a constant workout 😂
🤙🙏🤙
Do you ever have problems with snakes or big spider?
Nope.. we rarely see them!
You guys gumna make day of the VW in perth dya reckon?
100%
Where do u buy the tire deflates
Camp Boss 👍🏻
You should of flogged one a the dogs
Hello again from the USA love your show and exploration I heard you say that you had a locker in your old tranny that blew up where did you get it from Who makes your tire deflation tool You guys be safe out there have fun
The locker was from Weddle Industries, they make a mini locker for bus transmissions. The Tyre deflator is made by Camp Boss 👍🏻🤙🏻 thanks for watching 😄
Thank you for the info be careful out there
Max we love you your priceless just not your singing I actually need therapy after it
Marbal Bar is hotter than the Russian province of Kalmykia.
If coming by Tom Price drop me a message and feel free to drop in or catch u for a beer
You don't need a 4WD if you have a kombi.
