We finished the day back up the mountain, re-enacting some of the great jungle campaigns - crossing the "River Kwai" and the "Sepic River", and struggling up the "Burma Road" and the "Kokoda Track".
Our hares laid on a great run for the Samford Hash Athletic Group and our visitors Radar and Mudballs. They followed it up with a wholly authentic meal of bully beef, spud, onion and carrot....
Who won the biggest leech competition? Nipper put in a good performance, though by the time this photo was taken his bite had been covered with a bandaid:
And Culture found a fair-sized leech when she got home and took her shoes off:
But no-one could seriously compete with Radar's scar. Was this really caused by a bloody big leech, or by a hip operation?
We celebrated Miss Demeanour's birthday in the usual style, though she'd have preferred a better quality wine for her down-down:
The cake:
And who could celebrate Anzac Say without a game of Two up?
Come in, spinner!
