Lyn Burgess, Media Star

Monday’s undisputed media star was esCarpader Lyn Burgess, who cheerfully took on several interviews to spread the word about what we are up to and why we’re doing it.

Lyn is now vying with Doc Mackay as most-quoted entrant this year. Whereas Doc is the one and only driver who was there at the start 20 years ago, Lyn has been winning over the media with her compelling story that goes back 18 years to when her son Mitch was diagnosed with cancer … and follows through all the way up to today when Mitch (winner of this year’s first Turkey) has his own car to run with Lyn’s in esCarpade each year.

No sooner did Lyn arrive in Naracoorte than she was doing a phone interview with the Swan Hill paper, and then she was straight into a live interview with the town’s own local paper. With such a compelling story, it’s no wonder.
