Day 2 GER 2011

From Flinton we head to Boolba for the Great Endeavour Rally B & S Ball (wear something starting with the letter B or S)  and you will see from the photos there were some very creative teams.  Brad wore a Bow tie and Bowler hat and his name starts with B, Stacey wore sequins, sequins, sequins and her name starts with S.  Others were a bit more fun than this, check out the slime bags.  This team is called s’not racing and their cars are lime green and so are all their costumes.  They are s’not (snot) racing because in their first year Road Boss would always tell them to slow down saying ‘it is not racing’ but over the radio is sounded like snot racing so the following year and all years since then they have been s’not racing.

Today on our first wacko section the students of Teelba school were out the front of their school to meet us.  There was probably only 15 of them and they were so excited to see all the cars and the funny costumes.

Today the car sustained a smallish dent when tree roots jumped out in front of it (Stacey was driving), we had a lot of long grass today and ohhhhhhh the dust and ohhhhhhhhh the gates.  We were warned about both, but man we did not expect that much dust, or that many gates.  Great fun, plenty of zippy ties, tape, wire and anything else people could get a hold of to slow down the oncoming car.

Have you ever seen a wild emu when you’ve been driving anywhere?  Well head to the Golden west!  They are everywhere, not only do we have kangaroos to look out for but also Emu’s pigs, dogs and cows.  It has to be said, the emu’s are a bit stupid!

Boolba has a population of 0, yes that is right 0.  We have the stubbie cooler to prove it.  There is some tennis courts which come in handy if you want to run a horse race.  Get yourselves on a rally if you want to know how to run a horse race on  tennis courts.

We had -3 overnight but a lovely 2 when we got up
