esCarpade 2026 - Day 2 - Toowoomba to Miles to Roma

More rain overnight, but esCarpade Day 2 had arrived all the same!  Today, the boys would be travelling to Miles for lunch, then through to Roma for the evening. 

MW3 was crying green tears... good thing he's a mechanic!

Breakfast provided by the Rapid Response Team.

Kylie breath testing Damian, who looks happy enough to assume he wouldn't pass... of course he passed!

Bluey ready for the first school visit in Toowoomba!

Mark giving a quick driver briefing, about 5 mins after the boys got their lunch!

Then it was back out on the road for the afternoon session!

Jordan was driving the afternoon session, Damo was navigating.

The afternoon drive had the first truly dusty sections of 2026!

Believe it or not, there's a car right behind Bluey!

Heading the last 45km or so up the bitumen to Roma, the boys watched a storm rolling in...

By the time they reached Roma, it looked like a decent storm was on its way!

After checking in, the boys went and found their motel... about 5 mins later the heavens opened up with a good old-fashioned outback storm!  Bluey was cleaned quite well!

Here's a video of Jordan finding the only bit of water on the arvo section!
