DAILY CO-DRIVERS LOG - Day 1 - Thurs 15-10-15

Leaving for ESCarpade. The day we were all waiting for had arrived.


After the whole crew being awake at 3am we left Brisbane at  4.50am,.
Caz , Jason's wife sent us off with great wishes and loads of luck in dealing with Jason and Daz for a week... it was going to be interesting. 

Car driving nicely - until Toowoomba - when we stopped at McDonalds for breakfast -
there was a horrible grinding / rattling noise coming from under  the car.
Quick running repairs to the heat shield over the muffler - daz quickly under the car to adjust - all done.
An uneventful drive to  Goondiwindi.

First fuel stop for the trip and a photo opportunity under the EsCarpade banner in the main streets.
Jason needed to stop at a convenience store - as he went into the store , he noticed an elderly gentleman slumped in a chair,turning a light shade of blue and gradually falling to the floor.
Jason raced out- yelling to Darren to bring the oxysock and BP cuff.  then the guys went to the gentleman's aid .Then handed over to QAS. 
Turns out he was 94 years old , had driven from Sydney the night before heading towards Cairns . He had decided to stop at Goondiwindi and bus the rest of the way - lucky he did.

So the boys have done their good deed for the day and hopefully the karma gods will look favourably on the crew as we make our way from Narrabri to Goondiwindi.

Arrived in  Narrabri about 1.30  ,

Settlled in , got comfy then headed into town to check out the shops and find some lunch.
Walking down town , we discovered a pop up shop - . Then just as we were walking out - would you believe it? WHERE'S WALLY THONGS .... wow Treen was so psyched .

We were there - in Narrabri just waiting for friends to play with - bring on Friday.
