If Yarra Valley, Eastern Suburbs or CBD locations come up, will definitely be up for an afternoon / evening visit, although dead reckoning at night with a crappy satnav has proved to be difficult.

Particularly, I enjoy seeing parts of Melbourne and Victoria that I'd never otherwise have discovered. Classic case was [[2010-01-04 -37 145|Jan 4th 2010]] where an uninspiring satellite photo in Google Earth did nothing to indicate a hidden little gem of a park in outer Eastern suburbia.

Would love to do far more cycling or walking to hashpoints, but with a full-time job, it's difficult enough getting to the hashpoint in the carbon-spewer and then home in time to walk the dog, eat dinner etc. In an attempt to mitigate this, from Feb 2010 onwards will progressively add distance to scoped hashes and walk in (ie stop 1km away from point and walk in, increasing this appropriately).

Revision as of 01:00, 21 December 2011

August 2006 Flinders Street Station.jpg This geohasher comes from Melbourne.

About me

Originally from New Zealand, the home of the William Webb Ellis Trophy, now living in Melbourne.

Got into Geohashing in a big way in 2010 but was cruelly struck down by my cuboid bone repeatedly popping out of alignment, which practically stopped me walking for about three months. Shortly afterwards I became a father, and in this capacity my time now quite curtailled, so I'm having to be selective with hashing until the little one is old enough to come along with me.

Why?

Why not? I still work behind a desk, and I LOVE the outdoors, the further away from humanity the better.

Completed hashes
