In support of the petition VOAV

The father of a commando killed by a Taliban rocket attack in Afghanistan says if the Chief of Defence Force Angus Campbell wants to revoke his sons meritorious service award, he can collect it himself from my sons gravestone.

Sorry, I have been alerted by Jacui Parker that I in a late night stupor I forgot to upload the last of my images from Day 5. No excuse really was not as late as previous years. Apologies to all those late arrivals for making you feel neglected. Run again next year and I promise not to forget you again!!

Big Red Run - Done!

Day 6 - a very social, albeit a little painful on those injured legs, 8 Klm "run" to Birdsville.

The spirit of the event was on full display at the finish line as runners, crew and volunteers mingled to celebrate the past five days of a very unique experience.

Rest well runners - looking forward to seeing some you again next year.

DAY 5 - The night day -it starts in the dark and for many of the runners ends in the dark. 84 Klms a brief 8 or 9 hour run for a few, a 20 hour marathon of pain for others all of those and everyone in-between is a winner on this very testing day.

On to the second half of the event distance and the organisers set a" Rest Day" shorter distances but just so that it wasn't too easy - another 26 sand hills and a very boggy salt lake crossing.

Day 3 - Hump Day or more correctly Dune Day - really put the runners to the test today especially once the early morning cloud cleared and conditions became a little warm. Past halfway now - rest day tomorrow and then the big day.

After the foggy start to yesterday, today dawned bright and clear albeit a little cool with ice on a few tents. I turned on the car and was warned about possible ice on the roads - in the Simpson Desert???? Oh yeah - and the flies came back!
