Location

Very close to but ultimately outside of the Broken Hill Airport.

Participants

Plans

A few days after my first renewal hash, I had a call from my friend John about another hash, this time in the southern graticle. On inspection it appeared to be on the fence-line of the Broken Hill airport, but without any clear way of knowing which side it was.

Expedition

We had been gathered at a mutual friend's party, and decided to also rope in Tim. At this point it was quite late, about 8pm. With a bit of rallying up we decided to go for it.

On the way, an executive decision was made to avoid jail time, and to therefore not cross past any "No Trespassing" signs or closed gates.
