The rally rolled into town Friday afternoon and stayed for two nights with most enjoying a great day at the camel races.
Givit media adviser Ash Moore said the rally puts a lot of money into towns they travelled to and helped local community groups.
“For example in Winton the Pony Club did dinner and the scouts did breakfast,” Mr Moore said.

Rally drivers used Boulia to fix their cars and enjoy down time at the races.
