Kidney Kar Rally Update Report
17 August 2009
 
The 21st Kidney Health Australia Kidney Kar Rally is well underway with two days completed during a hectic schedule created by the weather which saw cars facing deep water crossings after six inches of rain in Tasmania. 

The Rally will hit Melbourne on Tuesday morning after an overnight trip on the Spirit of Tasmania before heading to Ballarat. 
 
The Kidney Kar Rally raises funds to support Australians with kidney disease.
