    Hey Guys First time poster long time reader,
    So i joined you guys 211 days ago and my god did that go fast i've a hell of a lot reader and many many many hours of looking at your set ups, post and photos And all i can say with out it i could never have done what ive done.

    Now the fun parts

    - i started building my first prop a 3 foot ground breaker out of paper mache.
    - that was awesome so i made another
    - then whats halloween without pumkins so i made six about a foot wide
    - then a 7 foot paper clown
    - and 5 foot long 3 foot high devil

    from their i thought wait im in Aus not the USA so i got on a local facebook page and asked for people who wil;l be doing trick a treat out of this i had a total of 9 homes say yes. Now thats great i live in a town of around 6000 only so i took the address and made a trick r treat map and put it down at a local shop where there handed out 70 so i was thinking this may just be a good night.

    so here are the pics of trick r treat Aussie style i got 110 - 120 kids for 6pm - 10pm

    Welcome Aust! Way to Go! Your yard looked great. Any more pics of your props?

    BTW you could easily be a party planner. Love how you took charge and spread the spirit. That was a great turn out too.

    Curious, do you guys grow pumpkins in Australia?

    Great work! Love that you got your community involved Would've loved getting 70 ToT's- only had about 20 come by our place but considering the first year we were here we got only 4, doing alright. Your haunt gives us aussie haunters something to aspire to

    Where part of NSW are you btw?
