75th ANNIVERSARY GREAT ENDEAVOUR RALLY
PROMO - FELLOW NEW WAY ENTHUSIASTS,
This year Sept 2026, my brothers and I are running with the Bulls so called this year as we have entered the Great Endeavour rally in our family vintage car of 67 years. It is a FORD V8 Ranch Wagon ex. HEARSE, that my father bought when it was about 2 year old. Why the bulls? Well my uncle when in his 20s, was a jackaroo on a family cattle station in Queensland and managed to score a set of long horns. They are beauties. About the same width as the Ranch Wagon so should look rather impressive on the rally. They are going to be filled and prepared for strength so hopefully they last the distance on the rough western roads of Queensland all thye way to Mt Dare on the cusp of the Simpson Desert. Here is a photo of the BEAST!
The Great Endeavour Rally unashamedly promotes and provides for the disabled people among us. With it's 75th anniversary rally this year and a goal of $1million and possibly more the rally promises to be a great fundraiser for disabled peoples benefit as well as an excellent time of making new friends for those actually participating in the rally.
START to FINISH - The rally starts in Toowoomba the Garden City of southern queensland on the Darling Downs, through hidden tracks, private cattle stations, and outback towns steeped in history and all the way to Mount dare station, gateway to the simpson Desert. All up about 3500Km or about 2200 miles.
DONATING TO THE DISABILITY CAUSE
What about making a donation to my fundraising effort and push the dollars along for the disabled. The endeavour foundation is a long standing charity that has served the disabled community well over the years. For me disability is very close to home, my son who just turned 50 has Muscular Dystrophy and he is a real trooper, admired by his relatives and friends alike.
Donations you make do not go to me or my son, rather direct to the Endeavour Foundation so they can continue their excellent work for disabled people accross Australia.
What you give is only logged against me as a fund raising amount that can go toward a rally position if enough is raised from my Endeavour Rally URL.
Remember every dollar counts, no matter how small. Here is the URL Endeavour Foundation has allocated to me to tally donations recieved on my behalf.

There are 5 COVEY boys so we expect we will have a great time, getting reaquainted and glamping or camping under the stars for the 8 days from 4th to 12th September 2026. We all have a lot of memories associated with the old V8 so this should put the Icing on the Cake.
Thanks in advance if you have been able to make a donation. Even if you can't, thanks for the visit.
Remember, Big or Small it all helps and the sooner the better as time soon slips away..........
HAVE A NEW WAY DAY
MANY THANKS
GEORGE C
