Picnic at Keperra

 Many of the regular Hashers are enjoying what looks to be a great trip in Japan so it was a small but enthusiastic group that congregated at the Keperra Picnic Ground on this glorious Sunday afternoon. And a big welcome to our visiting Hasher 'Body Language' from Switzerland.

As we set off in an unmarked trail in a south westerly direction a few walkers commented how quiet the walk pre-brief was.  I wonder what was different this week?

The initial feeling of abandonment (so many hashers away) was quickly replaced with the joy of a shady and flat walk and some interesting avian activity.

Even this gate couldn't keep the hashers out. A few intrepid walkers even found a hill and a circuit and have the photo evidence.

Potluck yet again provided a spectacular meal and the Keperra Picnic Ground was quite a good venue for the post walk festivities.

Plenty of canine good will.

And of course the completely random AI section.

Next Sundays run will be back on home ground so some can attend the SPADEwerx production at the Samford Hall 6pm.

Back at the local

Fourteen hashers made it for the walk on Sunday starting at John Scott Park with the numbers swelling to sixteen as we retired to Samford Pub to rehydrate.  Many took advantage of $25 beer/wine and burger deals, almost 20th century prices?

Here are some photos taken by Snappy:

Someone is making trophies in Samford??

Not everyone could be bothered with the walking bit of the activity.

In the obligatory hash circle the quality of the jokes was surpassed only by the number (and length) of the jokes imparted.

And guess who now has too much time on their hands and is mucking around with AI edits?

And we wish our fellow Hashers well as they head off on their long-awaited trip.

Bunya hillclimb

There are plenty of hills in Bunya, and our hares picked some doozies for our route on Sunday. Some walkers had been forewarned and brought their walking poles, while the others (we presume) just hung onto one another. Certainly it was cooler among the trees than it would have been in the full sun, but conditions were dry, dry, dry....Certainly a good reason to thoroughly quench our thirst afterwards.

Here are some of Saucy Sous' images from the walk:

Runners - walking?

Back home, after quenching that thirst, we enjoyed some vast vats of pasta cooked using gratis council electricity from the James Drysdale Reserve shelter (gratis? well, not if you consider the rates we pay). Many thanks to our hares for a well-marked trail and a great meal!

 And we broke up a bit early so the NRL tragics could get home before the Grand Final began.

Pasta and Pine

We returned to the scenic and umbrageous (look it up) banks of the South Pine this Sunday, exploring some of the upstream reaches along a well-marked trail. The lack of rain for the last month or so had made the creek crossings easy to negotiate, but there were still some pretty deep pretty pools for the dogs to sport in. Great trail, Mr. Hare!

Back home we were regaled with vast vats of pasta and a very tasty sauce - followed by ice-cream. We were also entertained by Leave Pass' tales of his exploits as a young anarchist. He might well have overthrown the Establishment had he not been betrayed by his fondness for alcohol and the quick wits of a patriotic cleaning lady. 

Many thanks to Big Donk and Co for an excellent meal!

Another riparian ramble

M. Promptu took us along the banks of the South Pine River in the lengthening shades of a very pleasant afternoon. Spring is definitely springing, and to adapt Mr. Shelley's words, summer cannot be far behind. Some of the local wildlife was out and about in the park and the brown snakes were probably out courting as well, although we didn't see any.

Potluck, as usual, laid on an amazingly sumptuous and plentiful feast. Thanks to all for their contributions!

And just a reminder: our 2025 Hash Christmas Party will be on Saturday 6th December at Le W*ank and Lax's renovated mansion. Theme: "Over the Top Christmas".
