Day 1

It was a Scorching day at Queensland and all us trainer's decided to head off to Sabalou's house for a bbq and couple's of beer's, once there Sabalou said he had something to say, looking around puzzled at my fellow Qld trainer's, I turned around to Marto to see if he knew what Sabalou was going to say, but Marto did not have the slightest idea either, than I looked at Dowelly but he was munching on a piece of steak and paying no attention to anything but his piece of steak, than Sabalou said in his loudest voice "My fellow Queenslanders, It is once again Equinics time, and once again we must take the torch to it's next residency, once again I must ask One of you brave trainer's to risk your life to safely deliver the torch".

Than a moment of silence as all the queensland trainer's just stood there, weighing up their option's. Then Vorogue stood up and said in his merky voice, "I will Go, I will risk everything to deliver the ring!"

Sabalou's looked at Vorogue and said"No there is no ring, you must be thinking of Lord Of The Rings."

Now understanding Vorogue replyed, "Oh Sorry, I'll Pass, I was just grabbing a beer from the esky, I only heard the bit about risking your life."

Than Sabalou again looked around for someone to stand up, then a noise erupted from the trainer's, it was Doral letting one rip, still experimenting with his bean formula, but really who would stand up to deliver the torch,well nobody stood up,and with Sabalou getting a tad irate, said in a cranky voice"Alright well all go!"

All agree to carry the flame!

Day2

Well after a night of packing all our stuff, Sabalou dropped by in a Mini bus, complete with a Gilligan's Island Captain hat to show who was in charge, then as I got on the bus I said "G'day" to all the my fellow trainer's. Dowelly had packed 2kg's of queensland finest beef for the journey,doral had also brought along a some more bean formula incase of emergency, Jacklad brought is lucky rein's, Vorogue brought along his AM radio so he could listen to the midweek race's at Queensland.

At The airport, one of security officer's looked at ol' Bergy asked him to walk through the metal dectector again.

Looking worried he did what the officer had asked, the metal detector went off, "Sir step aside please!" said the security officer, then out of Bergy's coat the security officer pulled out a metal thing, "what's This!" said the securtiy officer in loud vice", "it's a bit, it goes in a horse's mouth, so you can steer them around."

Then looking embarassed the officer pointed Bergy towards his plane.

Bergy
gets busted!

Day 3

Landing safely we were only 500 km's away from Benulux, once again Sabalou jumped in to driver's seat of the mini bus with his captain's cap, and yelled with friendly voice "ALL ABOARD",  travelling at a snail's pace doing 60km/h not of Sabalou's driving but the bus must have been at least 50 year's old, well maybe not 50 but it must have been close, anyway's to pass the time MichaelB suggested we sing some tune's, "I'll Go first" yelled Doral, as we turned and paid attention to Doral who was sitting in the back seat of the bus, "OK here goes, Beans, beans, the magical fruit the more you eat the more you toot!", as we all laughed the bus suddenly made loud bang. Sabalou got out and had a looked "yup, just what I thought, it's a blown tyre", well as we all by now had gotten out of the bus and started to search for a spare tyre it became very clear there was no spare, "what are we going to do, we stuck in a desert like area with no food,no water" said a worried Freddy.

"Well it's getting dark, we better set up camp, start a fire and see if we can find any water at all, and there's looks to be berries on a couple of tree's, that will be our food," said punterdoug who had spent half his life living in Queensland bush.

Day 4

As we awoke to sound of birds chirping and the smell of Bacon and Eggs, what the? we had no food but PunterDoug had somehow cooked up a feast and somehow put a tire on the bus, with everyone now looking at Punterdoug he explained that when he went walking looking for food and water and stumbled across a 24H Mobile servo, as we laughed off that we thought we were all nearly goner's, it was decided that we would hastly get the torch to Benulux, with a Refill at the servo and only just 200km's away from handing over the torch, we were back on track and traveling smoothly and within 50 km's of Benulux trouble struck again "oh no" said Enfeugo,the bus had once again stopped and was'nt just a simple tyre this time, it was the motor.

As We All got out of the bus,we looked at eachother in dispair,there was no way the torch was going to get Benulux in time, we were lucky this time we Had plenty of XXXX(BEER) and skittle's to last a couple of day's, but we'd also broken down near a farm, which was close to the road,then Nextbonus had an idea "what about we trade the bus for one of the farmer's horses", it was our only hope and as Sabalou, Dowelly, Doral and Jacklad went to knock on farmer's door, and with a shake of the hand, the farmer's best looking chestnut was traded for the bus, but this meant only one person could deliver the torch.

It was decided we would set up camp,and the next day we would pick who would ride over 50km's to deliver the torch.

We Find A Beautiful Farm!

Day 5 - The Final Hump!

As we woke,with hangover's after one to many XXXX(beer), we started to sort out who would ride, but there was a problem, the farmer would not give us any gear for the horse, "what will we do" said a worried Vorogue, well we needed rein's and Jacklad gave up his lucky rein's but the rein's were no good without a bit and Bergy quickly remembering his security trouble gave his bit, but who would ride, then from nowhere Holyghost arrived, he was good at that, and said he would guide the fine looking chestnut to Benelux.

With one last XXXX for the road, Holyghost set off with the hope of every single Queensland trainer, carrying the torch in one hand, making great time Holyghost became one with the horse, but with 2km's to go,the chestnut started to shorten gallop, "BLAST" said Holyghost in dissapointed voice, so with his sneeker's tightend up, Holyghost ran towards Benulux Residency holding the torch high, and with a sip of Doral's bean formula and one last sprint, the torch was handed over to the Benulux Residency, with Holyghost saying "I hope you have more luck than us!"
