Saturday 28 August




The run today was was quite short although we still managed to stretch it out. After leaving breakfast we headed out on the dirt. The roads today were not too bad so it was an easy run to the party stop. This was a gathering of all the cars.
After leaving the party stop we had a change in the cars. Joey from the cricketers drove Candy which was helpful as he tweaked a couple of things in the motor, and Robyn went with the Cricketers to the lunch stop.
At lunch was at Tarcoola Showground. There we experienced a little mechanical hiccup with Candy. Finding a mobile work shop, Robbo came to the rescue and found that our inhibitor switch had broken. Bypassing that we were able to start the car and continue on our way.
The locals had put on a market day and some games for the locals and bashers to be involved in.
It was then onto the road for the run into Toowoomba. We were going to be following the rabbit fence for some distance, although now there is a hole in the rabbit fence from a story car. There was also another incident on the road that seemed to dictate a steadier pace for the afternoon.
The run was peppered with some very rough terrain and sharp turns.
We arrived into Toowoomba just on Dusk to be met by friends at the Checkpoint. We watched some of the cars arrive into town then Brenda spent the evening with her in-laws and Robyn caught up with friends from Macksville.

We had a lovely evening. Thanks guys.
