Sorry no pictures again!...It depends on where we are as to whether pictures can be uploaded but we can still write.
Today we were able to get near the starting line after breakfast at the Agricultural College in Longreach. We had a dusty trip of approximately 300 km to Winton where lunch was provided for us at the school and presentations of equipment for the students were made.
It is definitely getting warmer and today we had to wind the windows down a fair bit which meant a lot of dust is now settling inside our car (cupcake flour dust!)
There were lots of gates we had to go through and of course many cattle grids and dips. After nosing our way towards the fronnt of the line after lunch, we headed another 300 km towards Richmond where we are staying tonight. We have been told the population here is about 1500. The town people have billeted a lot of the Bash people and we have a nice little cabin all to ourselves! Dinner toninght was down near the town's lake (man made) and it was a Doctors and nurses theme. We dressed up for the evening in nurses outfits and had a fun night!
Tomorrow morning we will pick up more cupcakes to sell in the middle of the Bush.
We have already made about $800 selling the cupcakes that Bakeries have made for us along the way to go towards Variety.
We are about half way along now on our journey and we will be in Burketown tomorrow night.
Thank you for all the replies that are coming through!
Have a great day!....
The cupcake Girls!

Hey Cupcake Girls
I can't believe how much money you guys are making from just cupcakes. Are you sick of cupcakes yet?! It is pretty cool that the bakeries are donating the cupcakes.
God bless!
