The time had come for the boys to embark on the 2023 Camp Quality esCarpade... but first, time to pack some shirts! Left to right there are 2010 to 2019 inclusive, then the 2021/22 30th anniversary shirt, and in the middle, the limited edition "Team Qld" maroon shirt.
But first, Damian had some work to do, so Retro Rock-It waited patiently outside the office window for him to be ready...
Time to go...
Damian about to head off to pick up Hoges...
Is this esCarpade? No, this is Damian's driveway!!
Back onto the bitumen...
Heading to pick up Hoges...
Parked outside Hoges' place...
The boys are excited to be heading off!!
The excitement was short lived once they hit the traffic... lots of bumper to bumper stop/start traffic south of Brisbane...
Finally crossing into NSW...
Damian always likes these nature crossing tunnels...
Crossing an old bridge... probably the original highway!
Past an impressive Jacaranda tree in full bloom...
And into Lismore...
The motel the boys were staying at seems like it used to be something else... a convent perhaps?
Lismore Library, still not open after the devastating floods.
Bicycles on a wall...
Some of the other teams were staying at the same hotel... here's Batman and Catwoman (unmasked).
Gratuitous window shot...
Damian and Ange...
Jamie and Damian...
So the boys arrived safe and sound in Lismore, and their fundraising total also passed $16500!!
Tomorrow, scrutineering and the official welcome dinner... but first, sleep!
2022 will be Damian's 11th Camp Quality esCarpade - after the disappointing cancellation of 2020 and postponement of 2021's event, and this year he will be joined by his brother Jason for his 2nd esCarpade - one decade since his first one! Retro Rock-It will be undertaking its 4th esCarpade with Damian, and the fundraising target is $25,000.
