It seems that due to last week's uhm, 'cough', drubbing by the Wiser team, no one fronted last Thursday night to re-enter the fray, frightful though it may be for some.

There are unconfirmed reports that some members of less Wiser teams were last seen heading out of Wilcannia at a fair clip in a cumulous cloud of dust, flies and mosquitos.

After some reconnaissance and reflection the Wiser team decided to form a posse to round up the recalcitrant miscreants and bring them back into the fray, frightful though it may be.

Aaron proposed that he head West on the Friday following, driving a bus no less, should he find a gaggle of less Wiser members to transport back to the fray.

Brian was to stay in town, keeping a look out for any less Wiser members who were to be found lurking in the local environs.

Stephen headed along the Cobar road to investigate and intercept those who might have "done a runner" in an Easterly direction. He confirms that after a fairly investigative search of every crook and nanny in Cobar, Nyngan, Dubbo and Dunnedo, no miscreants were found. Not to be thwarted, Stephen pressed on, heading East into Newcastle where the search continued.

No "less Wiser" members were found in the Charlestown shopping complex, or the Redhead Beach area. Being ever so thorough Stephen thought to dive down into the waters off the beach to see if any were lurking thereunder. None found.

Stephen wondered if the missing miscreants were seeking some "giddy-up guidance" at a local health forum. None found, although Stephen thinks they would have been well served by the excellent advice and techniques provided throughout the day.

The search continues.

The other superlative members of the posse have yet to report in concerning the whereabouts of the missing "less Wiser" members.
