When there’s snow and there’s sun it can mean only one thing - it’s Spring. Seeing as though the Perisher Trip was cancelled this year, I found myself with a week off work with nowhere to go. So we rallied up the troops and Richard, Dean, Brent, Jarrod and I took to the countryside for a week of, well, whatever really. You see one thing that Perisher has over Hotham is that it has snow at this time of year and, well, you kinda need the snow if you want to go skiing. That being said, there was still plenty of things to keep us occupied around the town. We even watched Rich try to rip the bumper off his Forrester towing a log up the hill.
I somehow managed to mention Geocaching to Dean in passing and it turns out he was more excited by it than I am so we spent the whole next day trekking around the parkland surrounding the town looking for caches. Maybe it wasn’t the thrill of the hunt, but more the thrill of the drive when we’re going rally style in the WRX. I’m pleased to say we found five in one day - a record! The guys were so keen, we even decided to hide our own cache up on the hill behind the house. It’s full of surprises so you should go find it one day if you’re in the area. :)
On the last night we ended up in the pub (I know, how typical) and it was there that I was introduced into Buck Hunter (at least I think that’s what it’s called). What a random game. I suppose it’s a very pub game. The whole object is to shoot at a specific animal on the screen while all these other ones run around. It’s kinda the modern Duck Hunt, only it’s more fun. I’m hoping Dean decides to get one in the office at work. That way he can practice up so that I don’t kick his arse so badly next time. ;)
That being said, it was a fun week. Except maybe the cops on the way home… but hey, that’s another story.
