Location

-37.85061°, 143.713165° In a private paddock just off a road between Rokewood Junction and Dereel, Victoria Australia.

Participants

Snaplatitude and 3 other (non-account-holding) people.

Plans

After lunch it was suggested we go geohashing, we checked the co-ordinates for today and lo! Today's coordinate was on a road! We were on our way after a quick toilet break. Had to be back within an hour and a half and a quick check on google maps showed that the trip would take 45minutes either way... we'd better hurry!

Expedition

We were pressed for time so we rushed out to Dereel, where we had previously attempted to reach a geohash on May 13th. To our dismay we found the hashsite wasn't on the road as we'd expected but it was just off the road in a paddock, but got as close as we could without jumping the fence and breaking trespassing laws.. And without leaving the car because it was bucketing down rain and 6degrees celcius, fffffreeezing. On the way home we stopped by a cool old bridge we found on May 13th. Made it back to town only half an hour late for my next appointment.

Achievements

Snaplatitude earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (-37, 143) geohash on 2012-07-01.

Photos
