Hunt 2: * roof-top vantage point as teams drove along Burgundy St * Hound investigating "false" fire hydrant on Burgundy St... a spurious diversion which had nothing whatever to do with the fox team! Hunt 3: * Finding a reserve/estate NOT in the Melways * It seems to be in this tree... somewhere. Hunt 4: * a hound's attempt to negotiate the electric fence - when there was a perfectly good bike path from which to approach the Tx! (a later suggestion was that we should have awarded bonus points to runners who actually did run/ walk in along the bike path) Hunt 5: * The "swarm" of hounds below the flagpole. (is it a bird... is it a plane... no it's "Super Tx" flying high!) A big thanks to all participants - we thoroughly enjoyed bringing you the night.
