Mobile Scooters of Hervey Bay and the Guinness World Record 2012

This blog was going to be a brief look at our 4 month holiday BUT last weekend here in my home town of Hervey Bay a world record was broken by the people who use mobile scooters ! Until this event Denmark held the record but a brilliant showing of locals here have now earned the right to be champions.To achieve the record ALL entrants must complete a 3 kilometre journey as part of Guinness Book of Records rules.The turn out was magnificent with all sorts of dressed up characters joining in,from Dame Edna to Cobb and co.The weather held and the resilience of those taking part was legendary.A free sausage sizzle was held at the end of the session and each participant was piped on the outward journey and piped back back a group of Scottish bagpipe players.At the back of the mobile was a group of carers pushing their residents the whole 3 kms without any signs of not wanting to be there (this was the kind of work me and Annie did in Perth) Of course the residents loved all the attention.This new home town of mine grows on me by the day I will do a brief of our holiday next
