SUNDAY 18TH OCT - NARRABRI - ST GEORGE

Up at 6am for breaky at the aquatic centre.

Got passport stamped to start the passport challenge - todays challenge was to make a giggle face out of natural items. This challenge was completed on the side of the road at a fun stop using feral pig bones. 

Breath tests done for all drivers and navigators - all passed. started the colored collection of "sober' bands .

First driver briefing from Ben , just a morning round up of the track and reminders to drive carefully and not to speed. Road safety is paramount in these types of events and those cars that don't follow the rules are given only one chance to redeem themselves before being told they will not be given route notes and must drive from town o town via the main roads.

Left out of sleepy Narrabri about 8.30am headed to Mungindi for lunch .

Ice Cream in the outback , not a shop for miles and Ben pulls out ice cream from the back of his car.

Onto st George for evening stop and dinner.

Had a well deserved swim when we has unpacked and sorted the car - Daz had the great idea to jump into the pool in his clothes to give them a wash.

 St George dinner - what a night - out under the stars with a camp oven stew and damper with delicious poached pears for desert. The atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly - the sign of more to come..
