Geohash Meetup

Several KM down dirt roads down near Cape Jervis. Basically the end of the earth.

Narrative - TheJosh

This was my second geohash. It started as an idea, after seeing that todays co-ord was just off the coast, and was within tinny distance. I have a tinny... We actually scrapped the idea of the tinny because of conditions, and with Jessie coming along as well, we were ready.

Basically I got onto IRC and discovered UnwiseOwl was up for it as well. A very small amount of planning was made, including UnwiseOwl doing some baking, and catching a bus to Mount Barker - we met at maccas - and we were off.

We had a fairly typical drive to Jervis from Mount Barker to Echunga, Meadows, a bunch of other towns I cant remember the name of, but after about two hours we were there. We stopped in a few places and took photos. At one place there was JACK written all over the road. Vandals are funny.

Just outside of meadows is Kipito Forest, and as we were going past, Jessie mentioned that she had found a geocache there once for outdoor ed. at school. She didn't have the co-ords, but she did know it was 'in a big bush'... We found the geocache, and left a roll of tape in it. We also found some rubbish, and collected it, if only for an achievement.

Once we got to Jervis, we drove on random dirt roads for ages, using only the GPS by this time because our map was crappy. Eventually we got within 4 km of it but the cliff-face was too steep, and we didn't have the boat.

We did eat a pie though.

The views from there were amazing too.
