The small town of Barcaldine in western Queensland looks set to become the new home of not one but two Guinness World Records.
Late last month hundreds of camper vans associated with the Australian Motorhoming Lions Club rolled into western Queensland for the record attempts.
Although it will still take a few weeks to have the records verified, the club is quietly confident it smashed the record for the longest parade of camper vans, which included a whopping 863 vehicles and stretched 9 kilometres bumper-to-bumper.
The previous record was set in Italy in 2003 and included 672 vehicles.
The second record was for the longest continuous line of LED lights, which stretched 5974 metres.
Len Waddington from the Australian Motorhoming Lions Club said the records were just the icing on the cake after a great trip to the outback.
"It was excellent. It was great for the towns. Our main goal was to boost the economies of those small towns," he said.
"We've had nothing but good feedback. The records were just the traction to get people out there.
"It was about helping during the drought relief there.
"The records were there to give those people that made the effort to make the trip a good time.
"We had a lot of comments on site just thanking us for a good weekend. That's the best gratification from the whole event."
Although it was no small feat checking, registering and mustering that many vehicles, Mr Waddington said everything seemed to fall into place on the day.
"We were just blessed," he said.
"It was easier than I thought it was going to be, and it really is a mammoth task."
The convoy stopped in Blackall on the way through and was warmly received throughout the west, Mr Waddington said.
"For myself, I think it was just a great experience.
"There were no incidents and it was just an unbelievable time.
"It was a great environment and we were blessed with the weather. It was just excellent."
