DAY 1 : Leeton to Wentworth via Moulamein

Upload the day's program here as PDF file

We had a fantastic send off from Leeton with Mayor Maytom flagging off the rally cars. Car 65, Jewel of the North, driven by Teresa Carlson took the honour of pole position being the highest fundraiser for this year’s event. Car 351, Cat Astrophe took 2nd place honours and positioned third and fourth respectively were Car 3377 Bob the Builders and Car 8 the VB Boys.

After being farewelled the cars headed out for some serious rallying and day one was a great success.

The standout highlight of the longest day of the rally was morning tea organised by Jason Sharam, Ian Paine and the ladies from the Coleambally Golf Club.

There was an abundance of delicacies, and everyone left feeling completely refreshed and ready to drive on to Moulamein for lunch and a very warm welcome from all the students at Moulamein Central School.

After a brief stop to eat lunch at Moulamein Bowling Club the rally continued on through the sand and scrub of Kattah Kulkyne National Park. There were a couple of “hold-ups” before another great night at Wentworth!
