The Ruptured Budgie Rally 2008

Its on again, Friday 16th to Sunday 18th May, so crank up the bike and get yourself down or up or across to "Bikers Island" Mingoola for a bit of fun.

This is a  traditional rally modernised by drop dunnies. But - you can still have a beer, a bundy, a red or just plain water. Ya can even pitch ya tent, listen to some music and have a chat around a bonfire without too much hassle.

Be warned -  its probably going to be cold and possibly wet, and if the drought really breaks there might even be a bit more than a puddle crossing to the island. So come prepared with ya tent, sleeping bag, snorkel and flippers.
