Location

At Skeleton Creek, before where it empties out to the sea

Participants

Plans

When I checked my emails this morning, I found that my geohashing notification had gone off and found, unfortunately, that the hash was near Altona Beach, 9 kilometres away and much too far for me, a 14 year-old boy. Then, luckily, my Mum said that we were going to Altona Beach. On the way I explained Geohashing to her and she said I could go to the hash after the barbecue and swim at the beach.

Expedition

I left from 100 Steps Park, Altona Meadows, with nothing but a wide-brimmed hat, bottle and phone. I walked 2.9 kilometres to the hash, finding no one there, unfortunately. I took pictures. Caught a bus to Laverton Station then walked the remaining 8 or so kilometres to Ashcroft Avenue, where I got picked up.
