There's gold in them thar hills

Or there used to be. Wonder if it's worthwhile looking at reopening some of the Upper Kedron mines, in view of the recent gold prices? Perhaps not.

Anyway, we did the usual trek over the freshly mown open field and up to Bellbird Grove. The runners went beyond this to the old gold mines.

Prior to the mad rush for the food, Racey gave us a Maori welcome which was touching. Thanks for your efforts Racey and Leave Pass.

Meanwhile in South Africa, Haughty went off to a park run but found it cancelled due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. So now, he has no choice but to negotiate the treacherous footpaths.

Here are some photos taken by Saucy Sous, Snappy and Culture:

Hello and goodbye

Another get together at our home ground in Samford Village. The temperature had cooled a bit, so we had a pleasant amble along a well trodden trail.

It was a welcoming hello to returning travellers and a sad goodbye to those about to commence their travels.

Shaggy and Cadbury paid us a surprise visit. We were glad to see them and learn that the family and Satchmo are doing well.

The Australia Day Dayboro Beer Run is getting bigger and bigger each year. So, Haughty had some stiff competition. However, he did us all proud and came a respectable fourth. And thanks to Haughty and Culture for hosting the sumptuous breakfast afterwards.
