Start time is 11:00am and the event will run for about 60-90 minutes depending on numbers.
A basic course of instruction in handling ropes and equipment will be given during the event.
Presentations will be put forward by Swampy (and others) and we will learn about Dragons and ropes in a bush setting.
This is the only opportunity for this summer to find out for yourself if they actually exist.
The picnic area is just past the Dragon's Lair (about 7kms from the car park at Neika) and will take approximately 90 minutes to walk in, or about 50 minutes by push-bike, all depending on individual fitness levels. This means you will need to leave the car parking area at approximately 9:30am.
If you do not wish to take part in formal discussions, you may come along for some good company, some caching chatter and a fun time. I am also looking for a couple of volunteers to help with the roping part of the event.
You will need to bring sunscreen, hat, suitable clothing for cold/cool/warm/hot weather (you know what Tassie's weather is like!), food, drink, water, nibblies and desert. And maybe something to wile away the time whilst you are waiting. An iPod/iPhone/Android game of Bubble Bobble featuring Bub and Bob, the bubble blowing dragons or maybe a version of The Dragon's Lair by Cinematronics with animations by Don Blueth, will keep you amused. And FOOD!
I would suggest that children under the age of 12 or those with short attention spans be left with a caring relative or friend, as teetering on the edge looking for dragons will, quite frankly, scare the bejesus out of them.
My contact details are in the hint.
