Let’s start the New Year with a test of our communication and navigation skills, as well as patience with each other, on a cryptic navigation exercise somewhere south of the Swan River! We must meet on Sunday, January 18th, no later than 9:00 am on Rockingham Beach Road at the local café strip, across from LuLu’s Café. Grab yourself a coffee, and we’ll gather in the Churchill Park foreshore at 9:15 am for a briefing and to collect our tulip diagrams, clue sheets, and other material. We have a staggered start every 90 seconds, commencing at 9:30 am sharp, travelling in a south-westerly direction towards Harrison Street. Then the gloves are off for a dignified “Amazing Race,” where each navigator-driver team pits their wits and skills against the others to follow the right route at the right speed, collecting clues and points along the way. You can drive and navigate at the same time if you wish to travel solo, and the material will suggest safe stops for you to consult the tulip diagram and clues. We’ll debrief at a historic café for refreshments, and we'll stop for lunch at around 1:00 pm at a highly acclaimed tavern. Please register your interest as soon as possible so that enough race packs can be compiled.

This year, the function will be held at the Wanneroo Botanic Gardens in the Leapfrogs restaurant on Sunday, 7th December. Travel at your leisure to arrive at 12:00 pm for a 12:30 pm start. Lunch can be followed by a stroll through the gardens, and or even a round of minigolf if you're feeling energetic Parking can be a bit tight, but the Drover's Shopping Centre is a short walk away

Starting at the Ascot Waters McDonald’s on the corner of Great Eastern Highway and Daly Street. Everyone meets in the car park at 9 am, to enjoy a coffee before a 9:30 departure. Our drive today will follow the Canning Highway to Fremantle, cross the Swan River, where we should see the progress being made on the new Fremantle traffic bridge. We will then head to Port Beach and start following the coast northwards. John is planning a second coffee stop at City Beach. The final destination will be Mindarie Marina; John will guide us there, stopping at a few points of interest along the way, including the new Ocean Reef Marina development. We will be having lunch at The Boat, one of the two pubs at Mindarie Marina.
