I am sunburnt and exhausted after a busy (almost) five hours pedalling around town catching up to and photographing 80 odd participants in the Fun Tour today.
I actually left home at 7am but didn't begin my duties with the Fun Tour until 8.20am.
The Fun Tour consisted of three different tours to choose from
- 5km short walk.
- 10km long walk.
- 10km bike ride.
During the walk/ride, there were check points where tasks had to be completed and there was also a questionnaire that had to be completed with about 45 questions.
At the end of the walk, there was an inflatable water slide, inflatable rock wall and a dunking machine for the kids. The Bar was open. A sausage sizzle. Market stalls.
There were over $1000 worth of prizes for participants and also three raffles.
I left before the winners were announced and the prizes distributed.
It was quite a big crowd, considering it was the first time this event had been held and the Progress Association only had 3 months to plan it.
They did an excellent job and the crowd was enthusiastic and happy. There were lots of groups walking together and families and a couple of groups of young teenagers who joined in using their skate boards and scooters.
A couple of photos from the day. I haven't looked at them all yet.

I'm off to bed so that I have enough energy to enjoy the NRL Grand Final tomorrow between Melbourne Storm and Canterbury Bulldogs. Wahoo!!
GO STORM!!!
Nite all.
