Q. What do you get when you cross a rodeo with a hot air balloon spectacular?
A. Mel’s amazing tourism adventure!
This week Mel visited Braidwood showground parkrun, which incidentally wasn’t the location for either. And TOC is backing it up and keeping the recording south of the Murray.
If that’s not confusing enough, Tracey is at Underwood Park parkrun for no particular reason at all.
Hopefully Rachel has her spreadsheet together!

What do you get when you have two hosts recording in the Greatest State?
A. Geographical confusion! Oh wait. That’s just Mel. TOC seems to know his compass points, even if he can’t judge his travel times.
Moving on … Mel returned to Cyril Curtain Reserve parkrun with the Melbourne Crew, while TOC was a week early at Ipswich parkrun.
And Rachel inspires some memories of dress up days from the past.

With both our hosts returning a tad late from their adventures of the weekend, there's lots to catch up on. From the ups and downs around our adventurer community, to the very long, long runs and walks down under and across the ditch, people have been busy! Hear about Mel's triple treat of Stebonheath, Thorndon Juniors and Adelaide Airport, Olly's Batemans Bay return, plus roving reports from Tracey at Broadbeach Waters and Alison at Gordon Spratt Reserve. After that we'll need another coffee, thanks Dazza!

It’s Simon’s week in the co-host seat and apparently the weather up in Kingsland isn’t as great as they’d have us believe. Never mind. Mel had a lovely warm run at Ball Park parkrun while Simon splashed it out at Chermside. We bring you some thoughts about Codes of Conduct and perceived barriers to participation, plus muse over the Adventurer growth in the UK. And we award an Obi to someone who didn’t even visit Dazzas! Because we can …

Join us this week as we bring some big discussions with a rollercoaster pod episode. While Olly and Mel give their views on the stats controversy, they also recount their adventure to North Wollongong parkrun. But not before Olly brings news of his own. Lyndell the Legendary lifts the mood with a report from Ipswich, Queensland parkrun, Rachel remembers pods of bygone eras, and we end on a lighter note with celebrations of all descriptions.
p.s. yes, he did check the envelope!

Thursday Jan 25, 2024
This week, Mel is joined by a holidaying Olly as we hear a euphony of parkrun celebrations and record numbers, plus some misadventures, the odd kookaburra, and a cacophony of camp-site neighbours. We continue to catch up on the summer season's roving reports, as we hear from Johan at Voortrekker Monument, Pretoria, PK at Belair and Alistair who did some guerilla tourism at St Peters. And amongst all the chatter, Rachel, Dazza and some love for the one and only Colin Thorne.
