Aussie Road Crew Day 14

This morning it was sunny but there is so much moisture in the air that condensation was running off our awning. We had our last ever ARC breakfast. After washing up I started to clean the tables ready for packing up after our final dinner together tonight. Therese Proust produced a Magic Sponge and despite our scepticism it did an unbelievable job. We could not match the outcome scrubbing the tables with Gumption.

I walked to the stage area for coffee and an apple turnover. This truck is a working bakery producing fresh bread, pies, Danish pastries and a variety of other foods. It claims to be the world’s first mobile bakery. There is a second truck which carries a huge diesel generator to power the bakery.

There are portaloos scattered around the campground, and semi trailers that are kitted out as toilet and shower blocks. The happy helper volunteers clean the toilets twice each day.

There were uninspiring walkup artists on the stage this morning, followed by a charity auction raising more money for local charities. The Wandilla Yabbie Race is a popular event, where people buy their yabbie sometimes paying over $300. The maximum prize is $150 and most winners donate their winnings back.

Some Roadies entered the Fashions of the Field. Pam and Michelle entered as cowgirls but were not winners. The Bulloo Flying Angels had trouble sitting down in their outfits.

The ARC tables were set for our final dinner. Beccy and her staff musicians cooked a BBQ dinner and sang a few songs on an emotional night.
