Revision as of 01:39, 4 January 2009

Allow me to propose a format for this page:

Section 1: Stuff about meet-ups and locations.; Add a new sub-section for each date about which you wish to comment.; I'll try and keep it clean, by moving old months to a sub-pages.
Section 2: ...I haven't worked out yet what should go here. Let's leave it open.

Meet-Ups

Sat, 03-01-2009

Townsville: Totally Inaccessable unless you want to walk a really long way!

Clark River: Map; About 8km off the Harveys Range Developmental Road near a tributory of the Burdekin River. There are some tracks in the area which indicate somebody with a $WD may be able to access although they don't look suitable for a sedan. The tributory will probably be filled with water at the moment.

Townsville

Map

This looks reasonably doable. Up behind the dam in amongst a series of properties that fall just off the Old Flinders Highway. There are a number of dirt roads that follow property boundries to about 200m from the site. The site appears to be on private property but it is probably worth a look anyway considering it is so close to the dam it may not be.

Twistie will be there at 4pm (weather permitting).
Matty wouldn't mind going for the trip. Missed out on the most awesome spot on Thursday. Unfortunately bereft of internet access, and reluctant to put contact details online. So I'll just skip this one as well. –Matty 01:17, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Miscellaneous

Hi Twistie. Do I know you? –Matty

Hey, I dunno. I'm a first year IT student at JCU. I have a feeling I have heard your name before but I'm just not sure. -- Twistie

Page Structure

I think it's good having the Saturday map links on the main page, and a brief description for the current/past ones. However, as Simon suggested, I'm quite happy for ephemeral discussions (about attempting hashes and stuff) to live here on the discussion page. If anyone else wants to update the Current Meetup Location section early on Saturdays, you're most welcome. Also, when we start running out of upcoming Saturdays, feel free to chuck in another months' worth of links. –Matty
