It is hard to believe that it's already the end of Day 4! Once again nature has been extremely generous and blessed us with a wonderful day. Today saw the route wind from Albury to Bright, through Chiltern-Mt. Pilot National Park then followed by the mountainous roads lining the Miita Mata River.

Travelling through this rugged terrain involved tackling challenging level 6 wacko roads. The wackos are based on a 7-point scale, with 7 being the hardest, and 1 being the easiest. Needless to say, there were portions where the travel was slow and cautious. The reward through were stunning views of the valley below and a breathtaking panoramic of Mt. Bogong, Victoria's tallest peak at 1986 m.

Congratulations to all vehicles for making it to the finish on their own power with no breakdowns!

The theme for tonight was Rock N Roll. Thanks to all who dressed up! Special acknowledgement must go to Terry Stewart for bringing a ukulele, Roz Thompson for a fantastic bright pink getup, and no-hair Frank for proudly donning a wig and joining the festivities.

After dinner 'Kenny' was kind enough to draw caricature cartoons as 'temporary tattoos' for people, in return for a donation to CF. Great Escape entrants really know how to fundraise in interesting ways! Many people welcomed their new look with enthusiasm, including Owie who had a skull-and-crossbones drawn on to give him the 'tough' look. The night concluded with a fantastic combination of friends, live music, dancing and fond memories.

Tune in tomorrow as we head from Bright to Ballarat!
