On the corner of a brick building in South Warf.

Participants

Expedition

I'd hit a 4 geohash streak so I was very interested to see where the next one would land. And yes! Very close in South Melbourne!

I was going to jaunt off my own in the morning (had a few things on in the afternoon when others were more likely to go down for it), but my girlfriend Ruth expressed interest in a little bike ride. So off we went!

The sky was sunny and the weather a perfect temperature. We rode down Moonee Ponds Creek and through the Docklands. We then navigated the annoying streets of Port Melbourne to reach the hash.

My phone got me to within 1.4m as I rode past so we stopped and walked around a bit to get the best spot. It looked like it was right along the wall of a brick building. Quite possibly the hash point was inside it but it was ambiguous from the satellite photo and the coordinates which jumped around a lot. Eventually I took a screen shot for within about 3m and called it a success.

We got back on our bikes and rode to the beach, sticking our feet in the balmy water. We watched the Spirit of Tasmania sail across the bay towards Bass Strait, sailing boats framing it in the foreground.

We took bike paths along the way back, passing part of the 1:1 billion scale model of the solar system. I took a photo with me and Neptune.

All-in-all another ideal hash. The hash-gods certainly have been smiling on us lately.
