Flood recovery

Le W*nk led the runners and Lax the walkers on a tour of inspection along Kedron Brook. Some flood damage was still blindingly obvious - for example, to the brand new artificial turf soccer pitch at Teralba Park (it now looks like a very complicated mini-golf course.) In other areas new foliage growth was starting to mask views of the scoured-out creek banks. But it will certainly take a while for the Brook to return to its familiar state...and the BOM is predicting a wet winter!

Here are a few shots of some walkers heading off to view the devastation:





Back home at the park, Potluck provided the usual varied and sumptuous feast:



We celebrated Dumbell's birthday in the usual fashion...

as well as with a magnificent cake!

Thanks to all for their contributions to the tucker, to the winos and beermeisters, and to the photographers!

Our hash caravaners have been exploring dinosaur country at Muttaburra, completing a 200 km sculpture circuit, taking in some culture at an outback cabaret, enjoying some out-west sunrises, and fossicking for gems at Rubyvale. The word is that Strine found a 129.1 carat sapphire, which is now the talk of the town!






Once again, for various reasons we're expecting a small group at next Sunday's run - which is a pity, because it promises to be a really interesting one. If you'd like to check out the history of the area the group will be exploring, Idle Vice has provided links to some local history sites here and here.

Next run/walk details

When: Sunday 12th June, 4 pm
