Seen not five minutes ago pelt­ing down the main path­way near the South Lawn: at least 25 men and three women, all wear­ing noth­ing but their shoes and socks, in the middle of Mel­bourne’s chilly winter. If this were yes­ter­day, they would have had a little sun, but today it’s back to drizzle and wind. They were having a hoot of a time.

I’m guess­ing the infam­ous Mel­bourne Uni­ver­sity scav­enger hunt is not far away… or did I miss it?
