The Scrapheap Adventurers did it - they got to Wanaaring on Easter Saturday

The road was long, a bit wet and muddy here and there, and even closed in some places, but the intrepid Scrapheap Adventurers pushed on, and made it to Wanaaring, undeterred by floods and distance, 200 km past Bourke on Easter Saturday - and they had a ball!

Rod Kelly did 1,155 km on his reconstructed postie bike, and is the first in with photos:

Team Kelly (Rod, Cassie and Fiona) all packed up and ready to roll .....

Are you lookin' at me? Flat out burning up the road at 80 km/hr

The Outback Hilton .....

...came with all mod cons. Was Rod looking for Steve on an online GPS?

Well and truly in the Outback now.

Long straight road, big, big sky ......

A slight obstacle!

Made it!

And look who else was in outback NSW this Easter!

Rod is within a whisker of reaching his very ambitious fund-raising target of $7,500 - any takers? HIs own blog, a few more photos, and fund-raising page is here.

The inaugural Scrapheap Adventure has been a wonderful, fun, hard working way to raise awareness and funds for the work of Down Syndrome NSW with people with Down syndrome and their families - we thank Perry Gilsenan who dreamed it up, every rider, support team member, every donor, everyone who welcomed the adventurers along the way, the people of Wanaaring and far western NSW.

You can still support this wonderful adventure via the riders' fundraising pages:
