Toc and Mel have returned from New Zealand to enjoy running back on home soil. But not before they caught up again at Pyramid Hill Golf Trail parkrun. Amongst the news from around the globe were roving reports from Calum at Market Bosworth Country, Ingrid at Australian Standing Stones and PK pops in from Port Broughton parkrun. And that’s not the half of it!

Simon and Sarah are both back with a belly full of Easter eggs. They discuss the many records broken this week across Australia and Budgie makes an appearance back down under. There are roving reports from Warrandyte River Reserve and Shrewsbury parkrun. Let’s not forget, a snippet from the founder of this event that brings us together each week.

Mel & Toc took the show on the road to Queenstown in New Zealand for the 8th palm, and the first outside Australia.

In our last episode before palm25 we hear from Toc about his new event at Eildon Pondage while Mel was adventuring on the road to Drage Reserve. Mel got ranty about stuff. Invy is the new Voldemort. And we have roving reports from Surat Memorial Park and Letsatsi Lodge. Plus all the usuals as we bid farewell to updates on Birtinya Island.

Sarah is back in the comfy chair, talking with Simon about the last seven weeks, cyclones and a few records. We have a roving report from Penrith parkrun (not the one in Western Sydney). There were two exciting launches, with at least one going straight to the top of the bucket list. Tune in to see which two unlikely Adventurers also cross paths.

Mel and Toc are here to mention Ingrid – over and over. And we falicitate all the reports on French omissions, CEO disappearances and cyclone impacts. Cryptic? That’s the point! Plus we have roving reports from Toowoomba, University of WA and du Bois de Boulogne, Paris. Listen in.

Guess who’s back on Quandamooka country? It’s Simon! And he’s joining Mel to  steer the ship and track the plane. Speaking of planes, Budgie hit his mark at Black Rocks parkrun and has another mission plus Alison investigates South End Reserve in NZ. That’ll do for another week.

Toc returns to the host chair to an inbox overflowing. Mel loves the emails that mention her Magpies and discussions continue about Number Checkers. We hear from Calum at Holyrood, PK joins from the new Drage Reserve and Lyndell the Legendary celebrates at Golden Beach parkrun. Did you Tu-Tu up last week? Dazzas was full of colour, just the way we like it!

This week Mel has a familiar yet new voice on the pod. You'll need to be patient to see who's who, so listen up now.

All the fun was on the Bellarine this week with Mel partying at Portarlington, and TOC travelling down via Emerald Lake parkrun. Coincidentally, we have a roving report from Emerald Lake as well as one from St. Albans in the UK and Neckarufer in Germany. Plus - all the usual banter. There’s even an announcement at the end. The clue is in the title. I’m not saying it’s a good clue…
