Brisbane, Australia (PRWEB) October 23, 2007 -- The Wicked Adventure Rally is set to be 12 days of fun and adventure, touring along the east coast of Australia from Brisbane to Sydney then inland towards Melbourne. The event will be held from 5th - 16th November 2007. A $500 prize is up for grabs for the winning team. Interested parties can register their teams through the Wicked Adventure Rally (http://www.wickedadventurerally.com) website.
When asked how the rally came about, Dave Kinkead, General Manager for Wicked Campers (http://www.wickedcampers.com.au) said "We thought an organised adventure rally would be a great opportunity for travelers and adventure-seekers to experience a real Australian roadtrip, seeing a lot of places on and off the beaten track, while also getting some great deals on accommodation and attractions along the way. We are also sure to get a lot of attention along the way with our brightly coloured vans touring in an expected convoy of around 40 vehicles".
Mr Kinkead stresses that this is not a speed race, rather an opportunity to join other like-minded individuals to travel a corner of Australia together, and potentially win $500. Entrants will gain points through challenges over the course of the journey, rather than a first past the post winner. The team who gains the most points during the event will win the first prize and there will be other prizes and giveaways up for grabs.
The Wicked Adventure Rally kicks off in Brisbane on November 5th, 2007. Stops during the first week include Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, with the first week culminating in Sydney. Rally entrants are given two days off on the Saturday and Sunday to rest and take in the sights in and around the Sydney region, resuming in Canberra on the Monday. The second week of the rally will tour through country NSW and Victoria, passing through the border town of Albury-Wondonga then making a beeline for Bendigo. Contestants will be treated to spectacular views along the Great Ocean Road before heading into Melbourne on the last day, 16th November, 2007.
