All over with the shouting

Last night's party was great, free beer and food, a band and dance into the night.
Some dingos were seen to be making a lot of noise.
It was after midnight when I called it a day and the party was still rocking.
Keep an eye on the gallery for some incriminating photos....

Today the closing ceremony has just taken place, a more casual affair but with some entertainment from the batten twirling dancing girls.
The Germans and French figured highly on the podiums.

Goodbyes all round as we started going our separate ways, Team Temple, Team Tobi and Team UX all departed almost instantly having big distances to cover.
The rest of us along with Brendan and Yana enjoyed a casual lunch.

Dingo base is almost completely gutted and all the gliders have been washed and cleaned up.
Those of us Aussies remaining have a couple of R-R days before heading off.

From me a HUGE thank-you to everyone who has helped make this trip and event possible. There have been so many people offering advise, help, assistance and encouragement over the last 3 years it's hard to know where to start. I particularly want to thank Helen who has gone beyond the call in order to bring elements to gliding and team work that are normally not even considered and Ian for his work on fund raising. Our supporters TMS Consulting, PC-Sol, DDSC, GUSS and GFA have all helped make this trip a memorable experience.

with regards,

Mike
