How many jelly beans?
Upon registration all participants
were given the opportunity to
guess the number of jelly beans in
the jar. Guesses ranged from a few
hundred to over 3000!
Jeremy from the Qld Nissan Patrol
Club was the closest and check out
his grin from ear to ear!
There were 1196 jelly beans in the
jar and his guess of 1201 was the
closest.
Wonder how many are in the jar
now?
Motley Crew have taken home the perpetual trophy and will
defend their title at the next Corroboree.
Thanks go to all the teams who went into this event, it’s not
for the faint hearted - just ask Wombat whose shoulder and
hand were worse for wear afterwards….but it’s all worth it!

InterClub Challenge
Lack of Talent Quest
The InterClub Challenge was held on Sunday afternoon and
consisted of a round robin of games which included egg and
spoon racing, balloon walking and sack racing.
What a talented bunch we are! There were so many acts and
the laughs went on for hours and hours.
Lots of teams took part but it was the younger members of
the North Coast 4x4 Club who took out 1st place.
The judges awarded first place to the North Boys from the
North Coast 4x4 Club for their high energy dance routine
(which was rather eye opening for those in the front rows!)
Second place went to Ipswich for their Old Man and Old
Woman skit.
Congratulations Neel, Jade, Siovahn and Tylah!
Third place was awarded to Col and Rose from Caloundra for
their Diff Rockers act which they wrote themselves and involved everyone in the audience.
