A day at the races, RBR style. As only we know how to do, we had another hilarious and action packed day at the Boulia Camel Races. Weather was perfect, the races were a spectacle and the Camel Tagging event was a scream. Camel tagging is something like a rodeo crossed with branding where the person crazy enough to give it go, races into the arena and chases the camel about, tags it with a bit of tape, races back to the start then returns to the beast to retrieve the tag once more. About fifteen seconds is all it takes. What a show. We had two of our member’s brave/crazy enough to GIVIT a go. Brett from car 82 the Lyre Bird team and young Jacko from the JagMan. Jacko only missed the quickest time by half a second. Well done boys.
Kids chasing sheep, cal-cutters and running races, auctions and side shows. It really was a great event and one of the many highlights of our trip so far.
It was quite a sight to see our ralliers in amongst the 2000 strong crowd. It is safe to say, they were all a stand out in their frocks and colourful get ups. There were people from all over the country, so it was a magnificent and proud opportunity to showcase who we are and what we do. Everyone was very inquisitive and impressed with our event and charity GIVIT.
Once again our media footprint is spread far and wide with continuing radio interviews and exposure everywhere we go as well as back in the populated areas. Everyone is really latching on and enjoying the stories that we are providing in relation to the many donations we are making along the way. RBR and GIVIT, a great team.
The sun is setting as we type this update and yet another wonderful day is coming to an end. The upside is, another cracking day awaits us tomorrow. Quite an early start with first car away at 7.00am in readiness for the 8hr, 500km journey across to Stonehenge. As everyone knows, we don’t do normal on the RBR, so yep, it’s a challenging and rough road ahead.
Halfway there and time to turn our heads for home.
