Democracy was manifest yesterday as Team Russell held our first fun stop, supported by Team Zook and Funstop Crew!

The Wescarpade Electoral Commission can report that the election was carried out with 0% corruption and a 98.75% result for the preferred candidate.

En route into Kalgoorlie yesterday we noticed a burning smell under the car, we traced the burning back to a leaking front output shaft seal on our transfer case.
First things first, we got on the phone to our Service crew at City Toyota who supplied us the electronic service manual, then onto the service and parts crew at Goldfields Toyota who located the seals we needed and very kindly lent us the SST to help complete the job.
This repair required the removal of the transfer case to disassemble the output shaft to access the seal, we were very fortunate Metzke Automotive let us borrow a 4 post hoist to fix the rig!

Massive Thank you to everyone involved, your support is keeping us moving 🙏

Day 3 Highlights - Bruce Rock to Menzies via Mt Jackson Station.

What a massive day, travelling roughly 480km from wheatbelt to goldfields witnessing just a few of the landscapes our state has on offer.
Stopping in at Mt Jackson Station for lunch and then onto Menzies for dinner hosted by Laurie's Cafe.

Sending out a big thank you to our sponsors at Brew Garage today!
For a relaxing afternoon with a locally brewed beer and a pizza, head down to Brew Garage and support local business!

Yesterdays travels took us on muddy tracks from Bruce Rock to Mukinbudin, with a great lunch at the Munty Pub.
Sending out a massive Thank You to Brad and Kate at Exact Earthmoving.
Since our very first wesCarpade, Brad and Kate have been riding with us as an integral part of our mission to help bring laughter and joy to the lives of kids battling cancer.

Yesterday we also celebrated for one of our fellow Weski's in crochunters - Happy Birthday Imogen 🥳
