It's been another wonderful fun filled day!
Day 6 saw the rally leave from Ballarat and
weave its way to Camperdown. This morning,
the Great Escape was greeted with dark storm
clouds, heavy winds and the definite threat
of rain. This thankfully cleared up in time
for visiting Bob's Pub in the scrub! This
was an enjoyable stop on the way into lunch,
complete with entertainment, buggy rides,
games and lots to talk about (definitely check
out the pictures on this one!).
After this pit stop, the route skirted the
Pyrenees for a stop in Ararat for lunch. To
everybody's surprise and delight, the real
celebrity Kenny's father was in attendance!
Special thanks to the Kenny's on our tour
for organizing Bob's Pub, as well as the event
in Ararat. Community support and involvement
was wonderful with many curious bystanders
dropping by to learn more about the cars,
the Great Escape and Cystic Fibrosis. Shire
Hall Hotel, who have been supporting the Kenny's
all year, also got into the act and had their
bartender dressed up like a Kenny! Poor Nic
from car 6 had a practical joke played on
him when the Kenny's decided to persuade the
local tow driver to take away his car!
We're currently in Camperdown, a wonderful
place which the community has really gotten
behind the Great Escape. At dinner the Mayor
came and said some words and it was fantastic
to see local families support their participants
as many of the cars on tour are based in Camperdown.
Local car "000 Tribute" donated
a shirt signed by all for auction which netted
$300. Congratulations to the team from Car
554, L.J Hooker and Wollongong City Raceway
who won this unique item
Bob the Builders couldn’t make it
this
year but they know how to throw a
welcome to Ararat
