After we left Valley of the giants we headed to Ducketts Mill Wine and Cheese - the food and wine here is top notch, it’s our favourite winery by a long shot
We had a delicious lunch and a glass of wine then went to line the cars up for a photo at the request of the owners or the winery and Briby had a bit of a moment
His upper control arm bush had fractured and while he was reversing up the hill for the pic it failed and the front suspension collapsed
so bloody lucky this didn’t happen at 100kmh on a wet winding road with bloody great trees on either side
His luck didn’t end there either - just so happens that there was a young couple at the winery the same time we were - he is a mechanic with Tasman Motorsport Racing and had all the gear we needed - he also pitched in and pretty much single-handedly repaired the damage as best as he could and we were on our way again

Thursday morning we split up - some went to the whaling station for a look around and some ladder related shenanigans- Clay can elaborate on that
while others looked at the chainsaw art and other local attractions while Briby and I went and borrowed a hoist and a tap to finish off the repairs on his front end - one of the threads was damaged and we wanted to sort that out so we chucked her up on a hoist and went and borrowed a 9/16UNF tap
We were at a mates wrecking yard, they had an interesting toilet there -
Cleaned the thread out , reassembled and called it done so off to lunch at due south back in town

Friday morning and the Crupi’s were heading east to Esperance, Clay and Elle were off back to Markup River to catch up with friends, Lindsay and Janessa were staying in Albany for another day so 5 of us headed off to Perth - got on the road after a bit of kerfuffle getting out of town, then Stoney had to head back as he left half his gear in the motel
Final blue ute photo
Coffee and a piddle stop at Kojonup
On the road again

Greg and Anne peeled off heading to Mandurah, Trevand Karen and Stoney peeled off at Armadale and Brian & Kerrie and us headed to CEVA to drop Brian’s car off
And it was all over - back home to mow the lawn do the pool etc ready to fly out on Saturday morning to Brisbane for holiday #2
All in all it was a great week - Shahni and I both had a ball and I think everyone else enjoyed it as well. Next time I am going to print out an itinerary with destination details etc on it as I think there was a bit of confusion at times over where we were going etc. apart from that I think it went pretty smoothly

Elle and I had absolute blast. Thanks so much to you and Shani, Trev and Karen, Janessa and Lindsay and the other participants. With the combination of people, the country, and cars, it was great fun!

Can't thank everyone enough, a great trip over, a fantastic after party & great event in between. Special mention to the Blacks for making everything seems so unfussed.
See ya all next year.
