Ozday 2015 - Oi, oi, oi!

Ozday 2015! Once again we celebrated all things Australian - and I don't just mean things like craven attempts to ingratiate ourselves with the Pommy royal family. (Though what could be more Australian than tugging our forelocks to our British masters?) I mean more substantial things - like going out into the sun on a really hot day, downing lots of beer and wolfing meat pies and mushy peas....

Our traditional Ozday hares, Payback and Cash Converta, laid on a run/walk that explored the back blocks of Eaton's Hill and took us along the South Pine. The water in this section of the river smelt less inviting than it looked, but this didn't deter the canine runners from cooling off.

Back home we enjoyed the traditional fare (pies, snags, pavs), indulged in some traditional thong tossing, and sang Waltzing Matilda in a way that would have brought tears to Banjo Patterson's eyes. Thanks to our hares!

(Most of) the group refusing to leave the shade at the start:

Hot-hot-hot

Despite the oppressive heat, 23 hashers turned up last Sunday. Mile High and Hugandkiss marked a trail along the South Pine River, which made things a lot cooler. Along the route, Shock Jock detoured to the soon to be opened micro brewery. With his nose pressed up against the front window, he spent some time drooling over all the stainless steel equipment.

Amazing and Le W*nk were off to Cambodia that evening. It's going to be very quiet with Le W*nk missing for the next few weeks.

As Payback forgot to take his camera on Sunday, here is a picture from the archives (Christmas in July 2013):
