WWFM V - Ferry Cross The
Murray
This Flash Mob gathering of geocachers
will be only 15 minutes long. You MUST be present
and sign the log sheet DURING this time to claim
this event. After 15 minutes … we're gone!
This event is be one small part of the
WWFM V (World Wide Flash Mob event) coordinated and in conjunction
with the San Diego WWFM V hosted by iTrax and FoxTail but since
Australia is some 17 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time rather
than holding our event simultaneously with the US event at 0500 on
Sunday morning this event is at a much more user friendly
time
AGENDA
Participants should position themselves or
their vehicles within sight of but not at ground
zero.
09:59 - 10:00
Casually make your way towards ground
zero, but as much as you can, act like a muggle, pretend not to
know each other or give any indication that something is about to
happen but STAY AWAY from ground zero until your
GPSr clock tells you it's 10:00
EXACTLY.
10.15 - 11:00
For those that want to catch up, there is
a picnic area nearby where we can meet up again after the Flash Mob
event. You will need to BYO tea, coffee, milk and morning tea. The
co-ordinates are detailed below.

Lyrics
(Sung to "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by
Gerry & The Pacemakers)
Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way
So ferry 'cross the Murray
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
So ferry 'cross the Murray
and always take me there
The place I love
People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away
So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay
So ferry 'cross the Murray
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
Here I'll stay
