Location
Next to a housing commission block of flats in Fitzroy.
Plans
This point, probably accessible, in inner Melbourne was bound to attract attention. It was situated within a few hundred metres of the workplaces of no less than 3 Melbourne geohashers - yet sadly none of them was actually attending their workplaces on that Tuesday. The rest of us would have to step in.
Participants
Expedition 1: John

Expedition 3: Lachie and Ed
Lachie and Ed made it there.
Expedition 4: Felix Dance
I took the train home from work near Cranbourne at 5:15, got off at Parliament Station and rode to the hash - about 7 minutes.
I did the hash-dance to get a good reading, satisfying myself with 1.3m (it was close to a wall) and tried to take a photo.
Unfortunately, my camera shut down right at that moment and it took about 5 minutes to turn it on again, which I needed to find out where the pub we were going to was.
At last, the phone worked and I navigated myself to the pub. I locked up my bike, ran in, looked around, couldn't see anyone, ran upstairs to the accommodation, and ran outside to my bike. I looked back at my phone. Everyone was on Google Maps, right inside. I looked closer at the pub and I could see there was a beer garden out the back, so I looked through the fence and saw my buddies.
So I ran back in, waited 5 mins to order a pot of peanut butter stout, and met everyone outside. We talked briefly about creating life from donated genetic material and Eratosthenes of Cyrene's measurements of the planet's circumference before I had to rush off again to attend a meeting on Zoom at home.
