Location

In a field north of Violet Town at night.

Who went

Expedition

Felix Dance

Stevage and I were driving up to the small town of Nug Nug beside the Victorian Alps to hang out with some mountain biking/brewery frequenting friends of ours. Checking the local hashes, we decided to go for this one, as it was only 400m into a paddock sort-of on the way, north of the highway.

We drove along some dirt roads after turn-off, found the perigee of the road, got out and clambered beneath the wire-mesh barbed and electrified fence.

After a brisk walk towards the hash, we found the point, took some photos et al. and started walking back, trying to avoid the random stampeding of ominous-looking cow herds - their piercing eyes reflecting our torchlight directly back at us like some sort of B Grade horror film from the 70's. But soon we were back over fence and on our way to Nug Nug.

Hash reached: 11:10pm
