Fiends and friends

Once again Samford hashers showed off their horrible true selves at our 2016 Halloween meet. Here are some of the horrors which would have terrified any unsuspecting strangers who ventured into Boombana on Sunday - luckily none did....

A wicca of witches (yes, I know it should be coven)




A rather savage looking pumpkin hound:

A Green Man (lots of pubs named after him):

A rattle of skeletons:

Assorted ghoulies, gheesties, vampires, zombies, devils and victims of possession:







And - perhaps most terrifying of all - Rod Stewart, complete with blonde plaything:

The group - minus the hares - where were they? (thanks to Topless for the photography - and click on the pic to expand):

Some scrumptious chili (and jokes about rings of fire) was followed by a ring around a real fire in the firepit - very pleasant. Floater's birthday was the occasion for a couple of chocolate cakes - also very pleasant.

Thanks to our scary hares! And thanks also to those who provided cake, jokes and help in extricating cars from the rather inadequate carpark!

Our WA travelers have been continuing their journey to the Stirling Ranges National Park, visiting Porongurup NP on the way. They've climbed Mt Trio (856m) and Bluff Knoll (1073m). They were very impressed with Tozer's Bush Camp near Bremer Bay, and (surprise, surprise) they have done a bit more botanizing! Here are a few of their pictures - you'll find more here.
