Location
At (roof/front room of) a house in a suburb (Kaleen) in north-west Canberra.
Participants
Plans
My wife was having folk over for a choir rehearsal. I planned to go out.
Expedition
Just before the women arrived for the choir rehearsal, I went out.
Kaleen is several suburbs away from where I live, and I drove through the very welcome rain and parked across the road. I took several pictures.
I wrote down the web address of this page on the map. I went to the door, could see children's toys in the window where the hash position was situated. A child answered the door and I asked for the parents. The man who came to the door seemed unimpressed by the celebrity of Geohashing visiting his house - or maybe my explanation -- but accepted my paper with the web address written on it. He may be more impressed after visiting the Geohashing site.
Down the road, I saw something unexpected; a dray (an early bullock wagon, with eight wheels, most likely two four-wheel wagons coupled together) obviously being restored. It is huge! (See pictures.)
A personal note: It has been a torid ~4 months since my last hash. There was an overseas trip when I had no luck even chancing nearby a hash, even in retrospect. And, some medical issues. But, I'm back!
Tracklog
Photos
The hash is under the roof on the right. It has not rained in quite a while, and we need it as Spring approaches.
The dray, which would have been pulled by bullocks. Compare the height and length to the modern, medium sized box trailer at the right. Note the metal drawbar on the left, and that the leading wheels are taller than the trailing wheels, thus allowing it to be crossed through deep gullies and creeks more easily without becoming stuck.
