Anaconda Noarlunga
Participants
Plans
I had work until 1pm today, and was planning to meet up with some friends in Brighton afterwards. When I learnt about the hash, I was genuinely unsure if I wanted to do it or not because it would mean being about an hour later than expected.
I packed my hashscot (but forgot the stickers, oops) just in case, and as I was literally waiting to take a train to Brighton I finally decided to do the geohash first (with a little convincing).
Expedition
The expedition itself was, as I seem to love saying in these, fairly straightforward. Essentially, instead of getting off the train at Brighton, I stayed on it until Noarlunga Centre.
From there, it was a very short walk to the Anaconda that the geohash was located in, and I made sure to go to the corner of the store that the geohash was (apparently) located in.
(Sidenote: while the error radius on Google Maps did encircle the hash, I also checked outside to see if it would be any better, which it kind of was?)
I then promptly forgot to take a photo of my watch like I usually do, so I did it on the train back instead. And then immediately after I got to Brighton my friends decided to... go to Port Noarlunga instead because of the weather! Oh well.
Photos
do it
arrived
walking to the geohash
canoedaquil? nah that doesn't really work
hashscot for sale! available for the low price of $79.99! text "geohash" to 20-240-824 to claim yours today!
google maps screenshot inside the store. annoyingly large error radius.
second screenshot, this time i'm actually outside the store like it says
the public toilet outside of anaconda, near the other side of the wall to the geohash
i hope anaconda appreciates all of this free product placement
realising that i forgot to take temporal proof.
fun fact, according to the metadata of this image my watch is slow
