Breakfast was hosted by the Nyngan Public School... Bacon and eggs - yum!
After shovelling in a quick bite, the boys headed to Nyngan Toyota who were going to donate to them a windscreen repair... Thanks Nyngan Toyota!!
A flock of birds wheeling around across from Nyngan Toyota...
Windscreen repair underway...
Ultraviolet light to set the goo...
You can barely even see where the crack was!! Nice reflection shot, Damian!!
Back to breakfast in time for Ben's driver briefing...
The kids were excited to get lollies and goodies from the esCarpadians…
As always, no shots of the kids are allowed, but you can rest assured that they all had smiles on their faces!!
Angus on Retro Rock-It...
Jason on the top of LUGG getting some pictures...
Drones being investigated by hawks/eagles...
And time to hit the road!!
Meep meep!! Road Runner!!
And onto the dirt...
These aren't closed roads... road train!!
Plenty of cattle grids on today's course!
And dirt and dust of a variety of colours!!
Into the fun stop... curiously, the course actually goes up and back on the same road... careful!!
Noni encouraging 85 to make dust for her photo...
Parked up at the fun stop...
Damian takes a shot on goal...
The Vermont Hill Community Hall was the location - this hall is well over 100 years old!!
Back on the road...
Ambos heading into the fun stop as the boys headed back out...
And into clear roads towards Condobolin...
Ghostbusters being rounded up by Smurfs...
And by Retro Rock-It!
And back onto the dirt again!!
Train tracks... the boys crossed this same line several times!!
Canals with irrigation water... lucky!!
Downtown Condobolin...
Parked up ready for lunch...
After a quick bite to eat, it was time for the boys to head off for a school visit... should be enough Mentos!!
Ready for the kids...
After the school visit, it was time to head towards West Wyalong...
Here comes the dirt!!
There's a bit of water out this way...
Cows ahead...
Moo!!
Time to switch sides of the road...
Cows gone... off they go!!
Quick stop in Ungarie who had put on a community fun stop for the esCarpadians… home of the Big Sherrin!!
Damian holding the Big Sherrin…
Angus taking a speccy!!
Retro Rock-It with Avengers...
And back on the road... could the boys make it to West Wyalong without fuelling up?
Nope!! Damian throwing 10 litres in, about 20km from West Wyalong!!
And back on the road again...
Into the bustling metropolis of West Wyalong!!
After arriving at the motel, Damian discovered a tragedy... flat tyre!!
One new tyre on!!
Unfortunately, the tyre repair shop was closed, but will be open in the morning. This is the third thing for Retro Rock-It (fan belt/pulley, windscreen and flat tyre), so this must be it for this year's event!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the pics... might be a few videos later if Damian gets time, or next week after he gets home!
I've noticed that the repairs this trip are (so far and fingers crossed) no real biggies! Thank goodness! Praying that the rest of the trip runs hassle free.
ReplyDeleteLoving the photos! If you scroll far enough it's almost like a video 😁
Yeah, touch wood... I've had my three things, so hopefully it's smooth sailing from here till home!
