Story: Christmas is a time for familes and friends to get together and celebrate the season in their own way. At a recent gathering of my family we discussed Christmas and what it meant to each other and the Grand Children took centre stage. First we discussed what animals could be associated with this season. With some research it was revealed by a google search that :- Camel, Dove, Reindeer, Donkey, Ox, Ass, Sheep, Mouse, Yule Goat and last but not least the partridge. These have been used in songs and interpretations for many many years.
Next came the names of the reindeer. No one could name them all. Dancer, Dasher, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph were the modern names used by most of us but the original names changed over the years from what was known a couple of hundred years ago to now.
But being hot in Australia the poor old reindeer would not like the heat so arrangements were made for the reindeer to take a rest and 6 white boomers would replace them.
These being. Jackaroo, Curly, Bluey, Two-Up, Desert-Head and snow.
Of course there were problems and one Christmas Eve there was a very big disagreement and all the animals and all the reindeer and the Six White Boomers were all extremely competitive.
Puzzle:-
Jackaroo Yule Goat and Rudolph
Together it was decided that they would represent each of their own individual groups at any meetings or discussions that would take place as it was just to hard to change the pattern of method, delivery and transport that has not been altered for many many years.
Now this did not sit well with some of the members of the groups so they formed a sub committee.
Dove, Partridge from the animal group raised put them selves forward but they were from the same group so the reindeer decided that they would not participate in this group and Bluey plus Snow
were the representatives from the Boomers.
End of Puzzle.
This is not hard to work out if you read the text carefully.
Have fun and enjoy.

Needed help from the CO for this and once the help arrived it was the old slap you forehead moment. Had tried a few things...and it turns out everything except the obvious.
So, a bit of D'oh moment, but the cache was found and all was good.
Thanks for another cache and another *FTF* Youngoldfella.
