A cooler morning in Broken Hill. We went to the primary school for the best breakfast on the bash. They had provided 25 different choices for breakfast because it was the 25th Anniversary of Bashing.
John Howard was being interviewed on the local radio station and took the liberty to say " The Cupcake Girls were a few quid short" that called for revenge. We were able to get him to the cupcake car for a photo shoot then to the Key Stone Cops truck for a photo. He willingly got in the back so we tied the door shut.
When it was time to leave The Burns Boys had put ties through our door handles and some stainless steel ones on the diff.
We had to quickly get into the car as we were to be the third car out - we think that the Cricketers paid for us to get out early!...
We then parked the car outside the school because we wanted to get the 'Bash Bus' experience and so drove out to Silverton, a little mining town out of Broken Hill!....what a laugh!
Silverton was a great little town with lots of history. The boys were all pretty excited seeing the Mad Max car, even more excited to hear the roar of its engine. There was also another engine display that seemed to please the blokes as they could feel how cold it ran, or something of that nature.
We had a quick trip to see Pro Hart's Gallery and then prepare for the final dinner.
It is always a bitter sweet experience saying goodbye to our friends and snatching every last moment we have together to reminisce on the success of the Bash.
There are award presentations and the DVD is presented in two parts. Everyone is eager to see their car feature.
The Cupcake Girls won the Grovellers award. We are not too sure how we pulled that off as we avoided the officials most of the time. To grovell we thought that you had to give them wine etc and be nice to them.
The Flinstones won the Spirit of the Bash Award.
It was a great experience and we will always feel blessed that we had the opportunity to take part in such an adventure.
