Our Unimog on the Canning Stock Route - One of the Iconic 4x4 tracks in the World.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Following the route (or close to it) blazed by Alfred Canning back in 1906, we take our Unimog up the Canning Stock Route from the intersection of the Talawana Track up to the Tanami Road and Halls Creeks.
We initially wanted to drive across from Newman in WA to Alice Springs along the Talawana track and Gary Junction Road, but the checking the weather forecast for Alice, we saw it was way too cold hitting highs of 5C, so we took this shortcut back up north to to the warmer weather in Kununarra instead. We already had the permits for the CSR, as they are needed for the section of the Talawana track that is combined with the CSR, so we turned left instead of going straight.
This video show our truck in it's element, easily handling what is one of the toughest 4x4 tracks in the world. Countless dunes and endless corrugations, 40C heat during the day, and -5C at night. The vast emptiness and tranquility of this track is magical, the desert so quiet at night you can hear your own heart beating.
We did photo shoot everyday, both for taking a break from driving but also to create something special in this remote place, and the video shows the ones we are allowed to show here. You can find more photos here

😂😂😂
Well damn! She is amazing!
Thank you
Great photography.
Thank you so much 😀
Great video can't wait to see more
Glad you enjoyed it, more videos coming soon
What a great adventure you folks had! Awesome pics incredible landscape and it seemed always changing along with the vegetation and terrain, you guys certainly picked and modified the correct truck for your mission, I would have never thought about the width of the tires but after you mentioned it if your were to wide that would cause all sorts of complications! A friend of mine who I bought my last U1300L from goes to Africa and does runs similar to yours and he of course runs Unimogs also! Great trip folks and thanks for the very informative documentation and the pictures. Its obvious you put a tremendous amount of planning and preparation for this trip and it looks like there were no surprises for you! Impressive in every way Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the compliments, glad you liked the video. Iain certainly made the right choice in our little Mog.
Nice adventure & look'n good there lady, look'n good...
Thank you
What a adventure it's like another planet OZ is so vast im sure you could spend the rest of your days traveling ... and the MOG what a tool purpose built home on wheels there is no better bullit proof machine out there !!!
Thanks, it is such a beautiful country, so much to see.
what an amazing 14mins of vision this was for me..Beauty abounded in nature and human form and the Mog was up there with the most capable units ive seen..You have inspired me to subscribe and look back at your previous adventures in our great country..Thankyou.
Thank you, glad you liked the video. Australia has so many wonderful places to visit, as long as you have the vehicle to get there.
What a nice machine, the unimog, I wish I had one
Thanks
Go guys! Awesome☮️❤️🙂
Thanks :)
That was fun, thx for posting it on youtube.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video ma'am. Please keep it up.
Thanks
Beautiful landscape, fantastic areas awesome video thanks for sharing. Hope the land stays this beautiful for a long time to come.👍👍
I hope so too, one part of the world we are keen to explore a bit more
Lovely video
Thanks 🤗
Lovely video. Ian has one hell of a job to carry out a photo shoot on such amazing scenery and model
Glad you liked the video, he does love doing the shoots with me.
Ur one lucky guy to be traveling with such a hooooottttttiiieeee
Thanks, I'll let him know.
I clicked on this because it said UNIMOG, however, I continued to watch because of the, uh, "beautiful landscape"! I wish I had beautiful landscape in my passengers seat. Beautiful countryside. Anything Unimog is usually good.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice truck didnt know mercedes made that big of a truck and love your outfits really daring and revealing as well
Thanks, ours is a small Unimog, the army ones are much bigger. Mercedes make much bigger trucks as well.
Excellent video. What an adventure. We've got the most beautiful country in the world. Love the way you pose in your photos too :)
Thanks, it sure is a wonderful place, and thanks, I have been doing photoshoots with Iain for about 20 years now.

Gracias por ver
Just follow your channel.. Lovely vlog n pics 😍
Thanks and welcome
Hello from Costa Rica!!! There is something about Aussies, Unimogs, Adventure and great scenarios. Just impossible to ignore and not to like. Might be the accent, magical landscapes, or just that impetuous Australian spirit... Or just me being a little bit obsessed with Australia... Just dragged me IN heart first . ¡PURA VIDA!
Glad you like the videos, we just love living in Australia
@@RudolfD We lived when we were young, but have lived in Australia longer than anywhere else.
@@UnimogAdventures You sound Southern African not Australian.
LOVE your shorts, you look just as good in jeans as well, great story. Jeff
Oh thank you! Glad you liked the video and the shorts 😎
Another awesome video of an iconic track, cheers. And great to see some lekker photos from your photo shoots.
Glad you enjoyed it
I did the route in early spring and was hot but not death hot. Very cold at night and early morning but enjoyed every km of the trip. And the nights under that star lit night. Can’t wait to do it again someday
We did it in July, and was pretty cold overnight on the southern section, but started to get hot during the day on the northern end.
Such a pleasant commentry. Thanks for your sophisticated informative dialogue. How refreshing after the abundance or moronic bogan mumblings on RUclips. All the best.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
Unimog Adventures, Wow mate, just love the detail of your adventures. It's not until you leave the place & chat about it with your friends
That you realize how lovely & unique the place has been. We were in a Band with "Kevin Bloody Wilson" for 4 years in a place called "Kalgoorlie" & did shows around that whole area. ( Just loved the Toned body works from 8:12) thankyou
Glad you like it Gib, :)
Great vid! Saying hi from NZ 😊
Thanks, hi back from Australia :)
My first time viewing your channel, very impressed and informed! Great style of trip log sharing, full of useful vehicle/ driving/terrain insights
Well done; I subscribed. Thank you both!
Welcome aboard!, glad you liked the video.
GOD DAMN, YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT
lol, Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow thats awesome
Thanks Peter.
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Very cool!
Thanks
Whooooo SeXy li'l Drone Catch'A gotta love the Unimog They are a different kinda animal
lol, thanks, Unimogs are great .
We did the Canning from south to north in1985 visiting every well.Many Wells were about 20 to 30 kms of the track .On one occasion instead of retracing our tracks we took a compass bearing to the next well and headed cross country coming out a 100 meters from the next well.What a great trip glad we aren’t doing it now as I couldn’t stand all the tour groups and traffic must be like Bourke st now.
That would have been magic back then, we only saw five groups on our trip, so not to busy. When we drove the Old Telegraph Track in our Land Rover, it was frustrating having to wait for and hour or more to cross creeks whilst groups sat around chatting, blocking the exits.
Amazing photography in a amazing setting with amazing people you ace'd again.
The vastness, being high up certainly a wonderful experience thanks for sharing. 🥂🦋
Drones sure add a different dimension, show how beautiful and how untouched that part of the world is
Sure is.
You need mulchers mounted on the front bar to trim some vegetation on some of those tracks.🦋⚘
FANTASTIC
Thank you
Wonderful views and great narration. Thanks for sharing parts of this magnificent country.
Glad you enjoyed it
We drilled the canning stock route, 2 MAN 8 wheeler trucks. 2 months and 54 punctured tyres later we were glad to get out. Lots of diamonds in the canning
Wow, we didn't find any on our trip :)
Kat 1?
Crazy trek
Lots of fun though.
Quite an adventure! Thank you for sharing this video with us! 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have to agree - an amazing part of planet earth. Wish I could afford to get my vehicle across there from South Africa and do that route!!
It's quite an adventure, there are tours that do the whole route.
Another Great Journey… Thanks for taking us along. I am visiting places I never dreamed of. Happy Holidays to the both of you. Looking forward to the New Year’s adventures.👍🏻
Thanks, glad you liked the video. We are hoping to get out next year.
Amazing video. Truly beautiful woman. Thank you for sharing with us
Glad you enjoyed it
That must've been epic. Wonderful scenery.
It was a great trip, can;t wait to get back out there and do some more.
Thanks, guys! More please! Looking forward to the truck tour! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching, truck tour coming soon.
@@UnimogAdventures I know, you asked about it on Facebook. 😎👍🏻👍🏻 It's years since I read the build thread on BenzWorld, so I'm looking forward to the updated video version. 😁
@@JockeSelin Working on where we will head off for a few days to film the walkaround
@@UnimogAdventures What a lovely problem to have. Enjoy! 😎👍🏻
EPIC!!!!!
Sure was
Хорошее видео, класс!!
благодарю вас
Enjoyed your video of this trip. Thanks for sharing. It's nice that you share how much fuel and water you carry, gives me some idea of how far you travel, and what all needs to be carried.
Thanks, the CSR is quite long, and we were ready for it to be lot harder than it turned out to be for us, our truck did it quite easy, and we took our time enjoying the isolation
@@UnimogAdventures Thanks for your timely answer. Keep traveling, and be safe.
@@wildmongols you too
great vid, very detailed and narration, appreciate the long hours in filming and editing this vid, outstanding
Glad it was helpful.
Great photos, I would love to see the ones that didn't make this clip 🙂

Great video guys. Loved it.

Glad you liked it. Send me an email and I'll get Iain to send the file. unimogadventures.u1250@gmail.com
Best outback adventure on the planet. If you want to enjoy it don’t do it in summer otherwise you ain’t coming home
Yes, it was hot enough when we were there, in the heat of summer it would be very difficult.
I worked many years in Saudi and North Africa where we found the Unimog was far the best small cargo truck around. As you say, tyre pressures make a huge difference. Great video by the way!
Thanks Bob, we couldn't agree more.
New sub here!! How could I not?? LoL!
LOL, thanks Samual.
Great footage and narration of an adventure in the outback , but Re: the flies , Darling thats not flies , i worked on a farm in WA many years ago , and as you walked it made a crunching sound under foot like coco pops , that was the flies , and you dare not talk and tried to keep nostrils and ears as closed as possible , and walking through one of the big sheds with a large roller door at either end on a sunny day it was like you had very very dark sunglasses on due to the flies :) .
Thats one part of my adventure at the time on an around Australia working holiday i wont repeat :) .
Look forward to seeing your other adventures , stay safe .
Wow, we traveled to Diamantina lakes, and the flies there were much worse, but not as bad as you describe.
V v interesting video. I like your video.🇵🇰
Thanks for liking
nice photo shoot
One of many 😃
Yeah and Ian how many of the photo's taken were topless, that is what we guys want to know, as she has a fair spread on her your Mrs. I have heard of others travelling that route and coming a cropper but you made it look so simple - good old Unimog certainly shows its capabilities.
LOL, thanks, lets just say I only wear clothes when necessary. The only sections we were concerned about there the salt lakes, the rest was pretty easy, just slow.
Beautiful woman and I'm jealous of your truck 🚚 too !!!!
Thank you,
Absolute beautiful footage
How do we see the other photos you couldn’t share 😎
Good question! We will have to work on that.
@@UnimogAdventures really enjoyed your content first time watching 👌🏼
@Dirty off-road Australian I now have an onlyfans page - here is the link

G'day. Just calling in from across the ditch. That was just a teaser eh.? You're going to give us a 4x20min series later on.? That was bloody brilliant guys. Love to see you do a trackside cook up next time. Nothing cheffy. Fire, boil up a billy of tea, and using your camp oven do up a damper over the coals. Don't know what areas have those stingless bees, but apparently a small part of a comb of their honey goes well with hot damper. The bees get pissed off, but they soon replace what's been taken. Btw, love the photo shoots, but the cookup would blend in great with the rest of the episodes. Keep em coming. Take care and stay safe. Atb from across here in EnZed.
Great idea, we will add that to list of things to shoot on the next trip.
The future of Mars, looks like this
Going to take a while to do that
Drove the Unimog in Germany when I was in the army. Absolutely loved them!
Iain drove one in South Africa, that where he first decided to get one. They are great, very comfortable on dirt roads.
Wow 😍
Thanks
Lekker man lekker.
Baie dankie 😎
That was a fun video - lots of great details (photos and video)
An interesting point that you see a lot more up there - on the other hand (as you pointed out) you catch a lot more brush as well. (give & take)
Good decision to have chosen a vehicle with similar track width to the other vehicles traveling the same trails. It has been shown that if you install much wider tires on normal-sized vehicle (troopy size) you have a better chance of catching flats.
If you could have a do-over with minimal costs - what rig would you choose to do the kind of travel you are doing? (or not!)
We have been asked that question a few times, probably would stick with a Unimog, it just seems the right vehicle for us. We like that it is big enough to live inside, but small enough to fit in a normal car park at the shops.
@@UnimogAdventures I have a Transit Van that I like for just that - THat you can live inside when need be. But it is just not great on a challenging track. Now I am building a smaller more capable rig that you could grudgingly live inside - but not as leisurely as the van. That's life - all good though. Thanks for the reply.
Lovely video guys and the photos are making it hard really hard to watch ahahhahahaha
Lol, glad you enjoyed it.
I'm glad I stumbled across your video,it's an interesting part of the world for sure.I watch whatever I can find on the CSR.Your truck makes the hills look small,but there's plenty of them,and all the big holes left by careless people makes it a little less pleasant.You made reference to the Anne Beadell Highway,in your Land Rover.I imagine you filmed your journey,is it available to watch?A link would be great if you would be so kind🙂
Thanks for watching! We have a lot of video footage of our five day trip, but have not made it into any videos ( and it is in a Land Rover, not a Unimog)
@@UnimogAdventures thanks for your reply,I’m a Land Rover owner,can neither afford or justify owning a Mog,so that will be right up my alley anyway.So I’ll patiently wait,I’m guessing one day,when you have the time to edit your footage,you’ll post it on this channel?
What a trip. Excellent detailed trip report. Sound track was very good, not the noisy typical one's. Photos were of excellent quality as well. Some questions I would like to make if possible. Was this a stock Unimog? What changes have you made? Who made your "box"? Looks very neat. Well done and thanks for. sharing such experience. 👍
Thanks for the comments glad you like the video. Our truck is far from a stock Unimog, it took us 6 years to turn it into what it is today. This video shows what we did ruclips.net/video/bt-4kbC3B3E/видео.html , and Iain did most of the work himself.
We will be doing a "walk around" video showing all the things we have done to the truck.
8.7 mpg is pretty good for a truck that size in those conditions. You should take up modeling :) :)
Maybe one day!
First time seeing your channel. Let me begin by writing, I mean no disrespect to you or your husband and hope you take what I'm about to say as a compliment but, Christ you're beautiful! You're husband is an extremely lucky man! I think my wife would love you, she would gobble you up! Like a lot of women, you probably get tired of him wanting to kiss you from head to toe every chance he gets. (as well as asses like me commenting) But, Congratulations to him for finding and being able to hold onto you and to you for keeping yourself looking like you do, I'm sure it's hard work! Nothing hotter than an intelligent, smokin hot "girl next door" with an awesome smile, personality and an adventurous outlook on life! Best of luck to yas!
Thank you for the compliments
Unimog the best thing ever to come out of Germany.
Best off road truck in the world 😀
What about the Classic Music and Philosophers !
@@jelmwinter6440 OK, and them
A brilliant travelogue video, thank you for sharing your adventure through this incredible landscape. Did you do any photography of the amazing night skies out there?
Not on that track, but have done quite a few in other places. it is something Iain wishes he did more of, next time we will.
Very informative. I'm planning to do it on a motorcycle 🤞🤪.
Would be quite a trip on a bike, doing is by yourself?
@@UnimogAdventures , still in planning stages. Lots of training ahead. Maybe not alone, but unassisted from support vehicle.
@@marthinusvorster Wow, your bike must carry a lot of fuel. 600km+ between fuel supplies.
Have you posted galleries of your still photos anywhere? Stunning scenery...
I have an Onlyfans page for the Art Nude Iain has taken, the is a link in our bio. Iain is thinking about a page as well for the Landscape photos.
