Of course, breakfast was the first stop of the day... Booger Mobile played hide and seek behind a gum tree!!
You aren't fooling anyone, Booger Mobile!!
Damian's kids had sent along a packet of snakes for him to eat... there were still some left, which he had left on the floor of Booger Mobile... turns out they melted and joined together!!
Still tasted great though!!
Ben doing driver briefing...
At the St George Showgrounds...
Lining up for the group photo, Damian did the old "take a photo of the photographer" trick!!
The Booger Angel, still keeping the boys safe... little did they know how much they would need her today!!
Heading out of St George, towards Mitchell for lunch...
Across the Balonne River...
Angus navigating...
The pictures will tell the story from here on in, until something interesting happens... and it will!!
Damian was wearing his safety socks... good choice!!
Always time for a selfie!!
Lots of cattle grids on the course today!!
What's that noise asks Damian? Another blowout was the answer!!
With the assistance of MW2 and their rattle-gun, the shiny new wheel was on in a jiffy!!
Back on the road for a few minutes, and there were a lot of kangaroos... unfortunately, one had a death wish and jumped out in front of Booger Mobile!! There will be some dashcam footage, but it's not that interesting, as the roo remained out of site of the video... the audio was interesting though!!
Damian will attempt to get it uploaded on the rest day in Longreach!!
Stopping at the fun stop... bonnet up just to let some heat out of the engine bay.
Bursting a balloon at the fun stop!!
You know you are in the country when feral dogs/foxes are hung from a tree as a warning to the others!!
Back on the road towards Mitchell for lunch...
Arriving in Mitchell!!
Nice!!
Inside the lunch venue, where the puppeteers would be holding a special puppet show!!
Barf jokes... always well received!!
Deano and Michaelangelo!!
After the puppet show, it was time to hit the road towards Charleville!!
Watching out for road trains!!
Stopped at road works...
Past the water tanker...
Lots of cars with minor issues today...
1915 in need of assistance...
Booger Mobile (bonnet up for heat release) stopping to help 1915, whose safety lights had decided working wasn't required...
Back on the road again...
More cars having issues...
Being waved past...
Another car stopped... why?
Arriving in Charleville!!
Nice old buildings...
Stopped to get a replacement tyre!!
Damian and Bill having a selfie!!
Mt Isa... that way apparently!!
The band kept the troops entertained during dinner...
Another fabulous day on esCarpade 2015!! Booger Mobile continues to go awesomely well, and continues to amaze with its fuel economy!!
Apart from the tyre blowout and the incident with the roo, Damian, Angus and Booger Mobile all got through the day unscathed...
Tuesday would be a much bigger day though, so stay tuned to see what happens there!!
