Hi everyone, today is day 2. We slept well in the swags last night although it was a clear night and only 3 degrees. Woke up to a beautiful morning. Today we are going to a town called Kingoonya. This is a one pub town. We decorated our car with black duct tape stripes to make it go faster. Haha. Driving to this town is on dirt road with a lot of dust. The problem is Xavier loves tailgating and we are copping a mouthful of dust and Xavier is loving the fish tailing and trying to miss the potholes. Plenty of pee stops along the way. Before we left our camp the Mystery Box organisers provided us with a brown bag lunch as we would be in remote south Australia. Well remote is an understatement. ... read more

Well today is day 1. We were going to leave at 6am but we could not get all our rubbish into the back of Xaviers ranger . Anyhow we left at 6.30am. It was a pretty smooth drive and we got to Adelaide 30 mins early. Took a while to remember Adelaide is 30 mins behind us. After a quick visit at our cousins place we headed to the Manheim auctions. Well we are going on a car rally to an unknown destination in an unknown car. What a funny auction. A bunch of old cars came through the auction shed. 135 cars being bid for and you don't know what cars are coming. Lots of very small cars and cars that have had a hard life. We got a ford au. Hammered off course but ... read more

Hi everyone, at the end of this week I will be doing something I have never ever done before. I am joining 300 other people on an unknown adventure in unknown cars. We are all joined in our efforts to raise money for the Cancer Council and to date these 145 teams (teams of two in each car) have raised over $580,000 for the Cancer Council. I will be on this trip with my brother in law Xavier. He will be driving and I will be navigating and hopefully having the odd nap.. The cars we will get will be old bombs worth no more than $1,000. We are bringing some tools with us to the rally just in case our wheels fall off. Subject to internet availability I will blog everyday for 6 days starting ... read more

Fraser Island Friday 6th May 2016 Today we got up prepared to leave the Island. As I have mentioned in earlier posts the tide times are important. High tide was 7.15 am and low tide was at 1.16 pm. This meant we should leave at about 10 am. Paul wanted to leave earlier but we knew it would be hard to leave too early. We compromised and agreed we would leave at 9 am. In the end he convinced us to leave at 8 am. He was proven wrong very quickly. We had only gone 7 kms and hit our first beach. The tide was too high and the cars were running too hard to just move a very short distance. We decided to wait the tide out at Indian Head and went for a walk ... read more

Fraser Island Wednesday 4th Today started normally with Cohen and I getting up at 6 am to have breakfast. Yes you read right, we get up at 6 am every morning. I know we are on holidays but we can't help ourselves. Once the sun is up we are up. Today we are going to spend the day at the rocks at Waddy Point. We were delayed a little as we had a flash thunderstorm. It started pouring at 10 am or so and it was over in 30 mins. We were on the road or bush track by 11.30 am and we headed to the Indian Head beach and started looking for pippies. Man these pippies are harder to find than dingoes. We were supposed to look for small round heaps in the sand as ... read more
