CQ Charity Fun Tour

Hi.  Back again.


Where are we?
We are at the start of the CQ Charity Fun Tour. 

After enyoying my facilities and the hospitality of my management committee rally crews were off on the start of a two day rally from Ubobo to Hervey Bay.  Local personality, Tim Hayes, waved them away as they passed this old ironbark at my front door in Hawke Street.

Late Friday afternoon crews had begun arriving and setting up their camps for the night before a three course meal was served by the BVCDC management committee.  Later a range of fund raising activities and music was enjoyed.  Then crews bedded down for the night - some taking advantage of my in-house accommodation others camping in my extensive grounds.

The next morning the air was crisp and my grounds covered in dew as the first rays of sunshine found their way over the Many Peaks Range.  Crews were blasted from their beds by a siren which literally shook everyone awake to pack and ready themselves for stage one of the tour.

The Ubobo Parents and Citizens Association was on hand to prepare and serve a hearty country breakfast while Channel 7 local TV news came  to capture the excitement.

 

The CQ Charity Fun Tour group is very generous in their support of small rural communities.  Local schools, State Emergency groups and the Boyne Valley Community Discovery Centre Incorporated were all very grateful for the support given to them as a consequence of the rally’s visit to the Boyne Valley.

Final instructions were given from the shade covered deck of my office building.  Then, led by the Easter Bunny, the tour was away to a cacophony of horns, engines noises and music.  

The promise of a day of fun lay ahead.

The BVCDC Inc. thanks the CQ Charity Fun Tour for choosing to use our centre and for their ongoing  support.
