Abort abort! Day 1 afternoon. Armidale > Inverell

Big thanks to the hospitality of the mob at the Wicklow Hotel; we got fed and watered like the Queen's corgis.

Meanwhile, Tune!FM was doing a live broadcast from the Wicklow, and having a chat to some of our intrepid esCarpadians. Tune!FM is Australia's oldest community radio station and run out of the University of New England; big thanks to Emily and Josh for coming down to have a chat, play some tunes and speak the good word about Camp Quality and esCarpade.

Check out Fizz on the mic. Maybe a career as a Hip Hop MC is on the cards?



OV1 Official Julian had a chat about life as a superstar Camp Quality volunteer. Not only is he in the Really-Special-Car with Ben 'Speaks The Truth About The Road' Mildren, but he also gives a lot of time to Camp Quality camps as a companion. He is pretty close to being the number one star on Tune!FM now too. 



Tune!FM also managed to have a chat with Tamworthian Craig from car 410, and the good listeners of New England's favourite radio station also heard the dulcet tones of Mike, Camp Quality Area Manager for NSW's North. Jeez, Mike really pulls off that yellow well. 


Sad news though, the afternoon's leg was cancelled due to severe road flooding. Although we reckon Doc, OKA and the Troopy would have gotten through the raging torrent, unfortunately we couldn't risk the rest of the crew being washed down stream. 

Luckily we bumped into a small town called Tingha, former home of St George NRL superstar Nathan Blacklock. A few of the non-driving esCarpadian's raised a glass to Nathan 'Tingha' Blacklock, so did a couple of penguins... 


Then a couple of the more sensible esCarpadians decided to chart their route to Inverell. Even though it was only 15km away along a straight road. Bless em. 


Now, it's Inverell RSL for dinner and our 'Sweepstakes' theme night.
