                                      5TH APRIL, 2026

                      HARES: CALICI VIRUS AND SPINIFEX

A cloudy afternoon in Tunks Park with possible rain did not deter the 15 Hashers who arrived for the (run).

The Hares had set up in the park, without any cover, knowing that the sun would arrive in time. After all, it's the Hash, and easter prayers are not necessary to keep away rain.

A 4.5 km trail took the pack up Lower Cliff Ave to a check which wound around to Sailors Bay Rd, then down Nulgarra St and into the bushland. The trail down to Flat Rock Creek was new to most, with many steps and a rough trail coming out at Tunks Park. Across the soggy oval and on in. It seemed a few had taken the easy way and crossed Northbridge Bridge (why not North Bridge), but then had to come down the 'death stairs' as they are called.

GM Maid Marion called the pack to order and dished out DD's mixed with kind words . Phantom seemed amazed he did not know the trail = DD. That was not the only thing he didn't know that afternoon. He didn't know the clocks had come forward and arrived at 1:30. He doesn't have any digital devices.

Soon we were all gathered around the food and drinks, making burgers, etc. and chatting, not knowing we were under surveillance. Phantom was the first, his entire sandwich was removed from his grasp by a swooping Kooka. At first we laughed, until the whole armada took flight, and we realised we were all under attack. So we started watching the trees to anticipate incoming Kookas, but it's difficult to watch 360*, eat lunch and hold a drink as well. 

All this lasted until we were finished eating, except Phantom, who wanted to even the score. The result being that the Kooka didn't fall for the bread on a stick trick, and dive-bombed Calici instead.

Another memorable NBH3 run in the sun. The first winter run.
