esCarpade 2012 Day 7 - Tumut - Jugiong - Canberra

The boys woke up on the final day of esCarpade in Tumut, and headed to get some fuel.  Past a gothic looking church...


And into the breakfast location - Pioneer Park.





Some local aboriginal representatives demonstrated how to make rope and sharpen an axe...


All the girls on esCarpade...


A couple of the Ten-4 boys decided to join the nurses for the day... it's a good look!!


Driver briefing from Ben...


Jason was driving for the morning session, which saw plenty of winding roads and hills, both dirt and bitumen.







The Booger Angel that Elli made continued to keep the boys safe...












A logging truck flies past the boys...













Uh oh... a broken car...













Entering the morning fun stop.


A good time for some photos of Booger Mobile...


Looking good... but dusty!!


Cars lined up at the fun stop...


Back on the road and heading to lunch...



Crossing the mighty Murrumbidgee River...


222 was having some tyre work done...


And lunch at Jugiong!!


After lunch, it was time for a school visit to Jugiong State School.





The puppets did their show...


Damian's favourite part - when Kylie is demonstrating how she yacked on her kitty while undergoing chemotherapy...


Back on the road, with Damian behind the wheel for the afternoon session...


The volvos seemed to spend as much time on the side of the road as on it!!










Poor Elmo... busted again...


And a Volvo pulled over...


Another car having some running repairs...



Fun stop put on by 269, 711 and car 50.


Booger Mobile still going strong!!


Rules for the dam...


More cars with issues...



Damian thought someone was stuck...


Turns out they had simply run out of fuel - good thing Damian had a spare jerry can full of fuel!!

Booger Mobile to the rescue!!





 

Hiding off the side of the road doesn't save you from a guest appearance on the Booger Mobile blog!!

711... again.


Some rules for using the private road...  Pity we saw them on the way out!!


The rear still looking good with the spring helpers on.


The front looking good too!!






 

Volvos on the side... again.


Uh oh, another one...



Heading into Canberra... nearly finished!!



Parading through the city...


And finished!!  Old Parliament House.











Quick shower and time for the party night... Damian self portrait with the puppeteers...


And poor Elmo...


Finishing the esCarpade on the back of the trailer behind OKA.


Still a great themed car though!!


Rydges... staying flash tonight!!


Jason and Johnny making friends at the back of the bus...


Heading into Old Parliament House for dinner...






Speeches...


Queensland entrants from Booger Mobile, 808 and Team Afro...




A world first - captured on film, the first father/son fist bump between Ross and Brett from Ten 4.


The amazing fundraising total - $1200856.27


The band played...


People danced...



And Damian caught the bus home with Brad - the doll that Thelma and Louise brought with them on their road trip!!

And with that, the 2012 Camp Quality esCarpade came to an end.

All that is left is for the boys to drive back to Queensland in the morning.

  1. I just can t believe that the 2012 Camp Quality esCarpade has already come to an end.
    What a great esCarpade it was for Team Booger Mobile,traveling over hill and down long winding roads all around New South Wales.From one school to another,making many of the school children's eyes light up,with smiles on their faces,when they saw all the cars in the esCarpade.
    The Mighty Booger along with Damian and Jason had a fantastic journey,with not major hassles to speak of :)
    What a AWESOME team they make,well done "TEAM BOOGER MOBILE"
