Toowoomba turned on a beautiful morning for us, a cloudless sky to start another wonderful day. Candy was treated to a scrub and a couple of running repairs thanks to Murray. It was then off to yet another superb breakfast at Downlands College.
We headed off to Killarney where the children put on a sterling performance with some great little singers. We were also entertained by Super Hubert with another of his magic shows. It was then onto the road for a gruelling afternoon drive to Lismore. As we drove out we were greeted with the news that there were 14 creek crossings to be negotiated, along with a 4x4 club convoy. We were not disappointed as the creek crossings were deep and very rocky on the bottom. It was a rather slow journey through the picturesque bush. The views were spectacular as we climbed and carefully descended the many hills. One of the more challenging descents was over 6 km in length. We were unable to hold Candy in low gear so it was the breaks that were put to use. Half was down we had to stop cause the breaks were smoking. We waited on the side of the road until they were safe to continue on. The Mermaids went in front of use and slowly lead us down the hill - in case there was a further problem.
Darkness was rapidly approaching as we continued to wind through the hills. We made Kyogle with just a sniff of petrol in the tank. It was then onto Lismore where our friends were patiently waiting for us. It was a quick tea and run down on the final day and we were off to Lyndon and Margaret's for the night.
Another great day on The Bash.
