Location
On the driveway of 86 Coombe Rd, Allenby Gardens (5009), just outside Unit 2
Participants
Expedition
Due to scheduling reasons, I knew that today I would have to be at university about three hours earlier than when my first lecture was; when I then noticed that today's geohash was conveniently located near a train line (all public transit train lines in Adelaide end in the city), I knew that I would be able to attempt it.
It wasn't that difficult to get there - simply take a train two stops along the Grange/Outer Harbour line, and walk for 10-15 minutes to the hashpoint. The point did land on someone's property, but thankfully it was a multi-unit property and I could just walk along the side driveway to get access to the hash. I didn't want to look suspicious or weird taking a photo of someone's house from their own driveway, so I opted to take it out the front instead.
Overall, this was a fun, quick hash that worked very well with my schedule for the day - I'm mostly just happy to finally be able to geohash again!
Update (2023-06-10): Fippe let me know that on 2023-02-26 he issued a Tale of Two Hashes challenge for Adelheidsdorf (named after the same person as Adelaide), and that I can claim it for this hash, so I have.
