The ACPET entry in this year’s Variety Bash has traversed half of Queensland since the commencement of this amazing charity event last Thursday.

If you are reading this on Monday morning, the ACPET crew will be departing Lake Barr in Central Queensland for Charters Towers, about half way to the end of this year’s Bash in Port Douglas
 

Day one was quite emotional with acknowledgements and presentations for children with disabilities. Fernvale and Kilcoy State Schools both hosted the cars on day one and were also recipients of a range of support and gifts from Bashers.
 

Day two en route to Biloela 'Daisy' had a mishap in crossing one of the many mountainous and muddy forest tracks ranges and slid into a rock outcrop that removed her protective bash plates. Thanks to the efforts of our accompanying technicians Mark Smith and Peter Brooke (photo) she was back on the road in less than thirty minutes with plates refixed.
 

ACPET’s Daisy will make her first public debut for 2010 in King George Square next Monday evening at the ACPET welcome to Claire Field member reception from 5:00pm -7:00pm.

This will be Daisy’s first public outing since her refurbishment by Terry O’Hanlon-Rose and the crew from the Australian Technical and Trade College at Scarborough.

Daisy will head off to the Gold Coast that evening for final scrutineering prior to the commencement of this year’s Port to Port (Southport to Port Douglas) Variety Charity Bash on 29 July.
