Poll: Hidden Painted Rocks Community Game

Tracy from Ponsonby

So basically u get urself a small smooth rock and then paint something on it funny, outgoing, fancy ect, on the back of the rock u write a cheeky or funny hide and seek quote, u then seal the paint with clear coat spray and place it in a see through bag (please wait for the clear coar to dry first haha) next step is to go out for a walk to one of our beaches or parks and place the rock in a obvious hiding place for people to find and re-hide.
It's a really cool community game that keeps us all giggly aswel as, the more rocks that get out there, the more colorful, vibrant and 'different' our community becomes.

Just an idea... yay or nay?
Get ur votes in.

P.S: I have already hidden a cheeky surprise out there somewhere to be found... view the pic and try find it hehehe

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
