The theme for this weekend, 'Cops and Robbers' seemed innocuous enough, and many got into the spirit of some good-natured dress up. Little did we imagine the terrors that would soon haunt us.

| Note Dean's cryptic flag - it is a copse (trees). |

| Morris Minus was dressed in prison garb by Cathy Kelly. |
Morris Minus had been dressed for the occasion by Cathy Kelly and was awarded to Margaret Schmidke. Margaret won the award for her meritorious behaviour accompanying Eve Buckley in her search to find her missing Tilley Hat. Eve told everyone who would listen that the hat cost $170, and was not going to be left behind without going back to the scene of the crime.
Being October, the countryside had turned dry and there was plenty of tall grass and an abundance of ripening crops about.

| At this time of year, the water hazards are less than hazardous. |
We had no problems navigating, just follow the signs ……. or the pipeline.
We did find a shady spot for morning tea and later had lunch at the Georgetown corner store.
The afternoon was quite warm and there was not much shade, so we helped provide some for future Heysen trail walkers.

We met Neil and Ann Nosworthy at Hiskey's Hut and helped water the young trees just recently planted by the FOHT greening group.
The day's walk was about 21km and we found many patches of wildflowers to admire along the way.
Then it was back to Georgetown for drinks and nibbles at the end of the day.
