Location

On a semi-rural property off the Old Cooma Road south of Queanbeyan, NSW.

Participants

Plans

1PE

Lunchtime; ~20km from work. This may be accessible from the adjacent side-road, but I may have to gaze at it and take a picture from a locked gate.

Expedition

This was out past two previous hashes: Karabar and the nearby hard-rock mine. I turned off the Old Cooma Road and went along the well-made rural road that services the small farms. I was able to recognise the two dams either side of the farm access road, and went in far enough to see that the house appeared locked up.

Back near the dam where the hash point is located, I got one picture. Then, I went out the farm gate to set up my picnic overlooking the farm dam with its ducks and the hash point just up-slope. While I was setting up, I saw a small truck going across the field just up-hill from the dam; a man got out and dealt with some equipment before going.

The picnic consisted of a tablecloth and checked towel, my lunch sandwiches on a china plate, and a drink from a china mug.

The ActiveGeohasher calling card went in the letterbox and I drove back to work.
