It was an early morning start via the local bakery to see if they had cupcakes for us. The owner had forgotten, so we headed off to breakfast only to get an SOS from the bakery to come back and get cupcakes, cream buns and muffins. We were parked close to the departure arch so it was a realatively quick get away.
About 2/3 rds of the distance to lunch we had a cupcake stop where a farmer had brought his children out to see the Bash Cars. So out with the cupcakes. Everyone is now expecting cupcakes each day. We had top shelf cupcakes today so the stakes were highter. We sold one cupcake for $20, that was the highest we have recieved so far. At the cupcake stop another basher put a sock on our airfilter which was very nice.
We then headed off to Terrick Terrick Station for lunch. Their driveway was 10 km long. They had prepared a great spread for us.
We then set off for Longreach as it was quite a big day of driving. We were just buzzing along the dirt road when we nearly jumped out of the car as the Helicopter buzzed us. He was just metres above us. I am sure he almost touched the cherry.
The helicopter was filming.
We finally arrived in town at aroun 7 pm where there was a street Party set up. People had left thier shops open and there was a band playing. We met some of the locals who told us that the local bakery had advertised that the Cupcake Girls would be selling cupcakes from their bakery tomorrow morning. We have a day off from driving tomorrow so will stay in Longreach two nights.
It was another great day and Candy is still in one piece!

Hey Miss Cockburn,
I saw you on Sunrise the other morning it was so cool! Hope all is well and going well.I'm glad all the kids at Thagomindah liked the presents we sent them.I also hope the kids at Longreach like theirs.It's funny how if you leave your keys in the car the other Bashers take them and you have to pay money to get them back!
Talk to you tomorrow.
Miss you.
