oh dear god!! from 2008?!?!

Have just seen the green SII Landie start! He was about the 3rd or 4th last one to set off. Waiting for the bikes to get going now....

VERY cold out here. 5 degrees to start with. Now it's up to a much better 10 degrees (8:30am).

Difficult times, medivaced our workmate, watching the slow recovery and then that end.
Been hard on a few at the base.

Got some video (iPhone) of the Series trucks leaving, they are pretty slow compared to many, but the boys are aiming to finish and promote the cause.
I haven't upload video before so I'll see how I go.

Yeah, my mistake. Posted the wrong link. Too much partying at Gayndah. This is the link I should have posted. Bob

Unfortunately both Vehicles did not finish the first leg of the race.( don't know reasons)
They're amongst good company, more than 50 competitors are DNF or Out of time.

I'd be making my way to the finish line now Strangy---
car 1 went through the last checkpoint at 8.37 your time,,,
