Angus and Damian were up early...
In search of four new tyres and a rim to replace the damaged one.
Damian removing TOJO's tyre to return to its rightful owners...
Tada!!
Removing wheels to have their tyres replaced...
And putting new ones back on again.
Shiny new tyres!!
After the fitting of tyres, there was still time for a bit of breakfast before heading off on the day's driving...
Today would have a couple of smaller sections, with 211km in the morning, and 172km after lunch, culminating in a parade through the main street of Goondiwindi!!
Driver briefing...
And checking out!!
Buzz Like You were having a few minor dramas...
Clouds rolled in as the boys rolled out!!
Turtles being ably assisted by MW2... Close personal friends of Damian's!!
Some of these creeks even had a bit of water in them!!
Fun Stop instagram pictures... good times!!
Booger Mobile looking resplendent, and going sensationally!!
Daily in-car selfie... check!!
Lunch was in the bustling metropolis of Meandarra...
Hanging out with old friends...
Damian confusing the dog for a horse!!
Uh oh... the dog has turned nasty!!
Looks like Angus has lost his arm!!
After lunch, it was time to check out for the final stage, which would lead to the muster point, before parading into Goondiwindi en masse!!
The muster point... Booger Mobile's bonnet is up just to get some heat out before the slow parade...
Vehicles of all shapes, sizes and colours lining up...
Let the parade begin!!
Right turn, Clyde!!
The crowd from the Family Fun Day gathered to watch the parade...
Including Damian's family and friends, (up on the corner).
The main street of Goondiwindi.
And parked, ready for the traditional water fight!!
It's on!!
Damian grossed people out with his booger...
After a relaxing afternoon with the family, it was time for the formal farewell dinner...
Ben talking...
The amazing total was announced - $1333105!!
And the official announcement of next year's route... Batemans Bay to Griffith, via Phillip Island!!
Damian and Angus collected their thank-you certificates...
And of course, no esCarpade would be complete without a selfie with this good looking rooster...
esCarpade is done and dusted for another year... Damian and Angus said their farewells to teams tonight - many of the southern teams are hitting the road pretty early... although some of the other teams will be at breakfast in the morning...
Time for a sleep-in, before packing Booger Mobile and heading home!!
