After brekkie the 'sheriff' & his deputy arrested a basher for bad taste in clothing. He was handcuffed then had to carry a 'ball & chain' for the day.
Wiggo decided it was his 'drinking day' & it was the girls turn to drive for the whole day. Patty took first stint but JoJo decided to jump ship so Patty had drive the whole way.
We think that the 'fairies' must have ran out of fairy dust as Wiggo had to help them out not once, but twice; first with a flat tyre then with a busted power steering hose.
We had a break at Duchess Hotel where some of the bashers decided to play a trick on Mark (winner of the variety car) & they wrapped it in black plastic while Mark was having lunch. There was quite a bidding war going on for it.
While the cars waited for the slow pokes to catch up at the Duchess Hotel there was a karaoke competition held with the guys from the 'Auzzie Rock' car declared the winners.
'Big Ted' decided that seeing as there was a spare seat in the back he should be allowed in the car so he jumped off the roof of the car (with his chair) and tried to climb into the car. No major damage was done but Patty was not happy. 'Big Ted' was banished to the top of the car for the remainder of the trip.
We eventually made it safely into Mt Isa & to the Rugby Union fields which will be our home for 2 days. We had time for a quick bite before we had to get ready for the Rodeo parade.
It was getting late so we didn't hang around for the rodeo and went back to the union grounds for an early night. The excitement wasn't finished with as Mark decided to move Donna's sleeping arrangements while she was still in her swag, and dragged her all the way up to his campsite.
Not to worry, JoJo was to the rescue & saved her.
Saturday is our lay over day so we are doing washing at Patty's brother Peter's place and off to see the rodeo !!!!!!! Have a great weekend BLOGGER PALS !!!!!!
