Moon in Port

Picture this.... Shearwater Country Club in NW Tasmania on a clear full moon evening ... crystal clear Moon; just what the Doctor ordered... Hashers expected any minute....the Hare is calmly drinking a guinness and smoking a cigarette when  panic sets in...Oh bother!!... many Hashers have headed to Brunei for the good of their livers... who will turn up to "Moon the Moon??".. No problem! we'll import some!!...  at great expense we imported two Fabulous members into the Back Door of the Country Club! Hobart ..we found one from there...the hare breathed a sigh of relief...we had a quorum!  so with the dedicated few who didn't need to de-tox their livers in Brunei we had more than the Full Moon crew in Hobart... Grand Loon Black Tracka took control and led the gallant band into darkest Shearwater... Bastard trying in vain to usurp his authority but we weren't fooled ... we know about him!! A stroll round the lanes with a dash across the deserted golf course and back to the Country Club for food. Two pseudo Hashers Cindy and Emily left us here ... it was past Emilys bedtime! (she is only 4) The rest of us ate and drank. Tracka ran the best raffle ever! It was a quiz!! (Memories of the McBollocks triumph with the quiz at the Highland Fling!!).. only one prize won fairly and sqarely by A Bit of This and taken away to be drunk at Burnie Hash on the morrow!! When we went out to "Moon the Moon" a strange thing had happened! there was a big blob covering the lower half of the Moon.... suggestions were rife but the balance of opinion was it was Grizzlys rear waiting for a drink in Brunei!!

On-on to our Grand Birthday Stroll on 26th Julyat our birthplace Otto's Grotto Ulverstone.

May's Moon at the OzRock Inn

On the eve of the NW Full Moon we assembled at Crow's establishment. Scaring off the people gathering for an actual function we postponed our departure as long as possible so we could peek at the well dressed dames wondering in.

The imaginary trail took us straight to the pub, but before we got there we got slighly distracted...


The chalk soon wore out and we entered the pub where we kept the barmaid running.


The by now hungry NW Lunar Hash pack quickly marched back to the OzRock Inn 'Annexe' Room. As the revellers next door had their respectable dinner celebrations we got stuck into some nice appetisers:

The grub and grog, service and all left nothing to be desired. Crow and 1080 were the perfect hosts, and how they managed to keep up with two functions was beyond most of us...


Next Full Moon in the NW is on June 26th (Saturday), set by A Bit of This at Shearwater. Look for Gran's Helper Van!

Birthday Moon Wa*king

The July Birthday Full Moon's appearance has been re-scheduled to appear on July 26th, even though the Fool Loon attempted to have it rise a week earlier....he always was an early riser...

So the receding Moonscape, complete with cheese and craters, looks something like this....

May 28th Friday- Crow at the Oz Rock Inn, Ulverstone
June 26th Saturday- A Bit of This at Shearwater
July 26th Monday- Black Tracka at Otto's Grotto, Ulverstone


Ringo is eagerly awaiting the moon...

Moons Rise at Batman Bridge

LoonRHash Moonwalk 10. A joint r*n with LH3. @ the Batman Bridge somewhere near Launceston!.

A few hardy Hashers were on time but many arrived well after the appointed start time! Some had chased the speed of light in their efforts to get from Hawley Beach to the Bridge in under three parts of an hour! Tiles who lives much nearer was even later! Eventually our 'hare' BallPoint sent us on our way with few instructions apart from the fact that trail was set on flour. We headed into the bushes under the bridge then back up a grassy bank onto the Bridge itself; those who suffer from vertigo raced with their eyes shut over to the firm ground on the far side... the rest ooohed and aaahed at the scenery either side of us. Another good loop of scrub and tracks brought us in the gathering gloom to a steep bushy hillside which led us back to re-cross the Bridge and 'on home'. Although it was a balmy evening Mr E soon had a good fire going for us. Tiles punished any hasher who dared breathe in the 'circle'; we ate, we drank, we chatted, we mooned the Moon, we all went home!! Excellent territory, superb evening, wonderful setting with the Full Moon lighting the Bridge behind us. Thank you BallPoint and the LH3 Hashers who made us 'visitors' so welcome. The next LoonRhash will be on 28th April set by that "Great Loon"himself - Black Trakka from the Sheffield Pub.
