Black swan event

Flooding at Dohles Rocks meant that our venue was changed at the last minute - for the second time in two weeks! All credit to those who got the word out (multiple times): hare Miss Behavin' went to the original venue to capture anyone who had missed the information, but no-one turned up there.

Our revised route took us alongside some highly scenic Murrumba lakes, where we encountered a charming pair of black swans with three adolescent cygnets. The walkers followed a well-marked out-and-back trail, while the runners completed a shortish circular route which gave them plenty of time to admire the wildlife. Congratulations to Dumbbell, who took his surgically-reconstructed knee all the way along the walk!

Back home at the hares' we enjoyed assembling our own healthy hamburgers, which were followed up by healthy home-made brownies. Many thanks to our hares for the walk/run and top-quality meal!
