Unfortunately this graticule contains roughly 75% ocean and another 5% of the area is islands that are not easy to get to, especially on short notice.

This graticule contains the city center and densest population areas of Brisbane. However the graticule is also approximately 75% ocean, and 5% islands that are not easily accessible (especially on short notice). This leaves the graticule with only 20% viable area on short notice.  
  
The West graticule is inland, and contains some of the outer suburbs, Ipswich, Mount Glorious and a lot of mostly empty space on the way to Toowoomba, but not quite all the way there.

This graticule contains the city center and densest population areas of Brisbane. However the graticule is also approximately 75% ocean, and 5% islands that are not easily accessible (especially on short notice). This leaves the graticule with only 20% viable area on short notice.

Brisbane Area

Brisbane (the city) is split into two graticules by a longitude line just west of the city centre.

This eastern graticule at -27,153 is called Brisbane. The western graticule is inland at -27,152 and called Ipswich.

Local participants

The Social?

Geohashing has a social aspect outside JUST the hashpoint meetups.

For example...

  • If Saturday night is games night, what games do we all play?
    • Table top or otherwise.

Cranium or Articulate, says I! (Joel) Or Werewolf/Mafia?! I'd be up for a meetup as soon as it's meetupable!

We could invent our own games even! (not without precedent: Geohash Card Game)
