The Event

Although it was overcast and raining on Sunday morning - it turned out really sunny and I ended up getting sunburnt!
The Road Transport Awareness Day 2007 was a real success. I had a great time - the day went so quickly!
I was in the first truck of the parade of about 200 hundred trucks, which was really cool. There were so many people lining the Pacific Hwy and the streets of Newcastle as the parade trailed through on Sunday morning - which was really good to see.
There was a 60 metre crane that was taking people up in a man cage for $10 - this turned out to be really popular and was operating all day.
There was a real family-feel about the event with lots of children being entertained by jumping castles and rides.
The auction was really successful, the entertainment went smoothly and lots of money was raised for Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

I'll update soon with some further information gained from the event evaluation process.
