Location
In the northern sector of a circle-irrigation turf farm on the "dairy flats" east of Duntroon, in Canberra, ACT.
Participants

Plans
1PE
1. Go at lunchtime, because it's near where I work.
2. Go after work, because -ditto-.
Expedition
1PE
Option 2 prevailed; after work.
I needed to turn left at a traffic light rather than not turn.
- ODD MOMENT: The night before, I had gone through this intersection and had an 'altercation' with a semi-Policeman (an un-sworn version, from the local Personal Protection Detail) at the site of a major crash, with two vehicles mangled and one on its top. He was doing a poor job of directing traffic with unclear signals, and had not turned off the traffic signals so that everyone was in confusion.
So, down the Dairy Flat Road, I stopped opposite the hash, out in the grass paddock/farm, and took some pictures; see the fence to keep intruders out. One picture was back towards Australia's Parliament House.
NOTE:
a. The farm is run by CANTURF (as in Canberra Turf);
b. CANTURF is known for its oddly humorous signage on its farms, hence see in this picture, "50 Shades of Green" -- an obvious allusion, with the "porn capital" just down the road;
c. See the turf-cutting machine near the sign, and the circular irrigation machine in the middle of the field.
Then, I could not put up this report and pictures until the next night.
Photos
"50 Shades of Green" (turf farm humour!)
Autralia's Parliament House from the Dairy Flat
The road to the "porn capital of Australia" (the inductrial suburb of Fyshwick)
