Donna decided that she would like to try her hand at 'dirt driving' so she started the day on the road.
After about 30 klm she decided she had had enough and handed the reins over to JoJo who drove for the rest of the day with Patty playing navigator for the day. Our route guide isn't always the easiest to read but after 8 days Patty has gotten pretty good at it and we didn't get lost once and JoJo figured out to set the navman to show a 'mileage driven' guide.
This morning started with a 'billy cart' race. It's been so much fun watching the 'bashers' enjoying the fun spots that Variety has organised.
There was even a Qld vs NSW race.
Although NSW crossed the finish line first they were disqualified for knocking over a spectator & snapping their cart in half. Go QLD...
To prove that the girls didn't need a man in the car they even managed to re-fuel the car on the roadside by themselves; although we won't talk about the service station stop where JoJo couldn't get the fuel cap off because she had the key in upside down. Took a man to figure that one out.
JoJo even managed to blow a few cobwebs out of the old girl but we would show the top speed she managed to hit. Don't need the speeding ticket. Nor will we tell Wiggo about the tree stump she hit or the termite mould she got caught on or the fish tailing in the bull dust.
It's hard to believe that our trip is almost over. 2 more days and we will be at Mission Beach (Wednesday) then we are homeward bound. 2 more days of fun & adventure then we can start making plans for next years bash.
