The view from the motel...
The shenanigans continued, even though it was the last morning!!
Heading down to breakfast in Bright...
Damian stopped at the BP and cleaned off the tyre that had gone flat overnight in Warrnambool and pumped it back up... hopefully it was only that the bead had been broken causing the slow leak.
He then parked down at the Riverside Cafe for breakfast.
The babbling brook beside the carpark.
Around 7:30am, Team Booger Mobile, Snot Rocket, Shark Mobile and 808 said their goodbyes and headed towards home...
Snot Rocket disappeared into a tree tunnel...
Past a windmill that Damian was sure they had passed on Friday following the route notes...
Nice scenery...
Volvos were heading home, overtaking the boys...
Through historic Yackandandah...
Past the Yak Hotel...
Snot Rocket bringing up the rear...
Apparently this is the beginning of a 100 zone... who'da thunk it?
Jet stream in the clear sky...
Teddy wearing a little flower apron...
The final day self portrait...
A horse and rider on a stick...
Being stalked by a Shark (mobile).
808 were having some starting problems again - out came Damian's jumper leads...
And file...
Meanwhile, the others waited patiently...
This monument is, well, monumental!!
There's a dish off to the side there somewhere!!
Look, there it is!!
Damian loaded it onto Booger Mobile to take home...
Self portrait with the dish!!
A photo of Graham taking a photo...
Past these planes again... seems like this trip is a reverse of the trip down!!
Gilgandra!!
It looks like rain on the windscreen, but it's actually a heap of tiny bug-splats!!
Stopping for an RBT in Coonabarrabran...
Oh, no, not again 808!!
Day turned to night... lots of kilometres travelled, but lots of rest stops due to the enormous 45 litre fuel tank in Booger Mobile requiring filling every 250km or so!!
Stopping for an RBT in Moree...
Heading down and around a corner, apparently!!
Jo is home safely!!
Damian is home safely!!
After an epic 21 hours, Damian had arrived home safe and sound in Booger Mobile.
There were a couple of scary moments on the trip - once when stopping at Goondiwindi and the engine started making a nasty ticking noise (the oil had gotten a little low), and then as they drove out of Warwick, they nearly cleaned up a kangaroo... Ironic really, given the hundreds of kilometres of kangaroo-strike country they had earlier driven through, they nearly hit one in suburbia!!
The 2011 Camp Quality esCarpade is now done and dusted... time to clean Booger Mobile, take stock of any issues and begin preparing for 2012!!
