Hills District hills

Where did the name "The Hills District" come from? I just can't think....Floater set us the sort of dead flat course you'd expect in this part of the world, and then served up a feast from her own prizewinning garden. Where was Scratchit? Enjoying himself at the Manly Yacht Club - and earning a bit of pocket money behind the bar. Many thanks to our hare!

A bunch of Hash Femmes got "drunk and creative" (Superhacker's words) in celebration of her birthday this last week.  van Gogh, stand back - what talent was released at "Cork and Chroma" (a.k.a "Paint and P*ss")!

A number of us are rehearsing for the 2016 Samford pantomime "Babes in the Woods!" - coming off very soon....

Meanwhile our WA travelers have been exploring the delights (liquid and otherwise) of the Margaret River area. It goes without saying that they have visited the odd brewhouse and winery, but they have also continued their search for orchids, and managed to photograph the odd blue wren. According to Strine, at Cape Leewin (the most southwesterly tip of the country) "You...look out to Antartica and some of our weather lately has felt like it was coming from there." Another highlight was a visit to the artist Patricia Negus in her "art chapel."

Here are some selected pictures. You'll find more here.
