On the 13th November 1978 a very important historical hash event took place, Hamersley Hash House Harriers was founded.The club grew quickly, its strengths being mateship and tradition and our songs have gained fame throughout the world. Our traditions are many and varied, some of which are; Wanker of the Week, Ice, Shooters and Down Downs. Visitors are given the traditional welcome, which few forget.
This dynamic club, blessed with the H4 symbol, has become "The" hash club of Western Australia.

Through the years the fame of Hamersley has spread far and wide, with notable events like the "Casino Caper" and the annual "Diggers Run", "The Palace Run" and "The Fish & Chip Run." Through Hamersley, W.A. stands tall on the international hash map. From diminutive beginnings back in 1982 ( Jakarta Interhash) where Gunny performed Hamersley's first hash act, and got dumped in the shiggy pit, Hamersley have set the standard with top class acts, in particular the Interhashes of Bali, Manilla, Phuket, Rotorua, Kuala Lumpur, Tasmania, Goa, Cardiff and Chang Mia.
