A significant day

Each year at this time we experience a really significant day - it's the day on which the speed limit outside schools goes back to 40 k per hour and the police wait with cameras for some rich pickings. Apart from paying fines, we celebrate this day by wearing Chinese-made tat, eating some traditional fare, throwing thongs and drinking a bit. Oh, and running and walking a bit too. Here's the group who turned up for this year's event near the Enoggera Reservoir (minus the photographer, newly-named Snappy):

Hares Escargot, Dingo and Snappy set a walk that took in some great views of the water:

Some walkers also enjoyed other features they found along the way:

Back home we enjoyed some tasty meat loaf and salad and emptied the beer and wine eskys. As usual at this venue we were able to form a proper circle, and even allow for some social distancing:









We named someone who has been attending for a while - that is, Snappy! She certainly lived up to her name by taking lots of pics....Here she is, along with a certain birthday boy:

Prattle was by far and away our champion thong-tosser for this year:

And there were a number of strong contenders for the nibble-a-map contest, though probably only the vegemite versions should have been allowed:

All in all - a memorable occasion! Many, many thanks to our hares!
