The last day of our rally and we are all very much looking forward to our hotel beds tonight. The sounds of silence dinner was great and we were happy for the vegetables and informative lecture on the stars. The staff were very accomodating and even invited us to an after party somewhere – it all got a little hazy so i’m not clear on details.

It was another annoying morning for my husband and team mate who had to deal with a fuzzy headed wife incapable of anything more constructive than having a shower. I think i owe him a few camping trips were i pack the tent and all its paraphernalia. But never the less we were packed up and just had enough time to scoot through to see Ayers Rock before heading out mid morning to Alice. The big red rock was breathtaking and something i will definitely be returning to see again. When driving back through the national park we actually saw a real dingo casually crossing the road, and no he didn’t look like he had stolen any babies. Our muff drivers who against all good taste decided to dress up like Lindy today – fetching white socks and white plimsols. Nice.

We arrived in Alice, all but one shitbox. A huge achievement for the teams and the old bangers they drove in.

We gave two radio interviews and a TV appearance which we hear has been seen in Adelaide which is great news. The car auction is tonight so we need to get a wriggle on if we’re going to sell these dusty old shitboxes.
