Bunyaville bushbash

It's been a while since we took on the trails around the Bunyaville picnic area, and it was very pleasant to meet beneath the tall trees:

Our hare Jamesbondage supplied the walkers with a marked trail and the runners with a map - and suggested to anyone who didn't like those alternatives that they pick their own path using the signboard as a guide. No-one got lost, and we gathered back at the picnic area for Redbreast's Dublin Cobble (haven't had that for a while, either) and home-made strudel - yum! Many thanks to our hares!

It was rugby tragic Budgie's birthday, and fellow tragic Le W*nk presented him with - wait for it - an All Blacks shirt! So what should he do when Australia plays New Zealand? Takes both shirts along and swap them according to who's winning? (It's just possible that the All Blacks one might get more wear....)

And now that the shops are starting to stock Christmas gear (after all, there are only three months to go) we had to fix on a date for the 2026 Hash Christmas party - and we did during the circle. Mark your diaries now and carve it in stone - it will be on Saturday 19th December!

Up the creek

The air was clear, the enclosing hills were varied greens, the water flowed chuckling through the rocks, and generally God was in his heaven and all was right with the world - or at least with the little world of Cedar Creek....The simple trail took the walkers to where the road ends, while the runners did a bit of rock-hopping to take them further upstream on the way towards Mt. Glorious. Some car-pooling delivered the gang to the hares' place afterwards, where we tucked into some chicken stew, veg curry and rice, followed by berry crumble and - courtesy of Miss Demeanour - liquorice!

Spring has sprung, but many wrapped themselves in blankies as the evening drew in. And Shockjock was awarded a down, down for embracing a strange woman he encountered on the run. It turned out that she was one of Miss Demeanour's best friends...does that make his actions better or worse?
