Day One Thousand One Hundred and One

Sunday 17th June

One last early start. Drove to the finish for 7am to see last team come across. As I drove there checked in with event control who said there were three teams left out there. The last two teams came in together.

Once they had left the site we tore the place down, a bit of a logistical puzzle as site is closed once crane for gantry comes in, as such I fast tracked all the other suppliers (waste, marquees, generators and lighting) and got them clear before we lost the site to the crane truck.

Headed back to Kennards at about midday and coordinated the unloading of 2 trucks and 3 vans. then ended up going to the petrol station 3 times to refill hire vans etc. Finally back to the office and then a quick drink at kerbside round the corner and home.

Quick skype call with folks and crashed at about 9pm.

A selection of event images....

Day One Thousand One Hundred

Saturday 16th June

Got up early and headed into Event Control to see what was happening. At 8am Brett and I drove into Checkpoint 4, I had put a lot more infrastructure into this bush checkpoint so we wanted to check out how well it had worked. Below is a video of the site. You can hear the Bellbirds in the background.

Drove back out of there and early afternoon I had to drop back my swanky four wheel drive and go back to the Holden.

Spent most of the rest of the afternoon and evening at the Finish seeing teams through. Came home at about 9pm.
