...however, in the long run, [a] it should be automagic to only show as far ahead as we have DJIA info for.

...and that means testing for data.

...at the moment, you can say +100 days and it will give a result. ie, no error, but WRONG data!

So, consider this a work in progress :)

The Albury Wodonga Graticule, the marker notes the 29/5/08 hash location, why? Because I lifted the image straight from http://geohashing.electronicwar.net/, my favourite hash calculator!

Albury Wodonga (graticule -36, 146) is officially two towns, located side by side on the New South Wales (Albury) / Victoria (Wodonga) border.

It's got everything, in the mountainous south east of the graticule we have the ski resorts of Falls Creek and Mount Buffalo, and the amazing Alpine National Park which includes Victoria's highest peak, Mt Bogong.

The New South Wales / Victoria border goes straight through top of the graticule, and includes the border towns of Albury Wodonga, Corowa Rutherglen, and Yarrawonga Mulwala. There's also one of the biggest dams on the Murray river, the Hume dam. Not much chance of a water hash though, due to the drought the lake is almost dry. The government have been leasing the lake floor to farmers to graze cattle on for a number of years.

Other attractions include the old gold mining town of Beachworth, and the amazing wine districts of Oxley and Rutherglen. Will this be the first graticule to see a winery hash?

The river flats that account for most of this graticule's area are criss-crossed with all sorts of minor roads. The mountainous areas of the South and South East seem like good opportunities for a Mother Nature is My Bitch Award, although I reckon we're more likely to end up as Mother Natures Bitches.
