Sydney
The Sydney graticule lies between -34,151 and -33,152.
Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest city, and is full of interesting places and twisted, hard-to-find streets. It is a rich cultural tapestry with hidden surprises lurking around every corner, waiting to be found.
In other words, it's perfect.
Sydney west
Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but seriously, do we count Campbelltown? I think Wollongong can have the south ones). The western graticule lies between -34,150 and -33,151. This area also includes the Blue Mountains which are glorious in their own right. On days when the target falls in the Pacific Ocean, the meet can be officially held in Sydney's western graticule.
Of course the target might also fall on the Blue Mountains which are very pretty.
Interesting fact
Sydney is so far ahead of NYC in terms of time zone that it's accepted to use yesterday's data.
