2013 esCarpade Day 8 - Heading Home

Sunday morning arrived... the day after the night before.  Damian and Angus headed down to breakfast, to find these crazy people about to undertake a fun run!!  Doesn't seem that fun to Damian!!


Booger Mobile was packed, ready to say good bye to Wollongong!!


After fuelling up, it was time to hit the highway!!


Vroom...


Past some interesting bridges...


Sharky swinging past in the Sydney traffic...


Some serious blasting went on to build this road...


Safety ramp, just in case!!


Past some more nice bridges...


Up, up and away!!


Regular blog readers would remember this sign from last year - where Jason and Damian stopped to find water in the fuel...  Thankfully this year, all was well!!


NSW can't play footy, but they can sure build nice roads!!


Let's  follow the exit to the Botanic Gardens!!


And another funky bridge...


Up the road...


Damian's turn to drive, Angus having a snooze...


Keep driving north!!


700km to go!!


Booger Mobile was going nicely, thank goodness...  Remember this corner from last year?  Sharky does... for all the wrong reasons.


Oh look, another car coming across the highway - at least this one didn't hit an oncoming vehicle!!


Over the bridge...


And on the shiny new bypass road!!


Keep going!!


Angus was having a drive by this time...


Damian's turkey award was checking out the view...


Angus loved driving Booger Mobile - he said it was very easy to drive!!


Behind some tourists...


This tunnel picture turned out better than expected... like going warp speed!!


Past a windmill, as you do.


And through Coffs Harbour...


Past the Big Banana...


And up an empty highway...


More bridges...


This one was pretty interesting...


Close up!!


Time to stop in Ballina for some fuel...


Past the big prawn...


And through the magic of the interwebs, Angus was delivered home, safe and sound!!


Gee whiz, did the boys buy enough fuel on the trip?


Having arrived home safely, the 2013 Camp Quality esCarpade drew to a close for Team Booger Mobile.  Many of the other teams had already arrived home, and some still had a bit of their journey to go, but all arrived home safely to their loved ones.

If you thought the blog looked good, and want to experience the fun yourself, why not get hold of a car that's more than 20 years old and start preparing for the 2014 Camp Quality esCarpade...  Team Booger Mobile will be there... will you?
