Have I mentioned how I hate bastards who live in graticules that don't suck arse?  Monday in Ingham the point is in a cane field, so could be accessed within at least about 50m (or closer, depending on if they've harvested, and how friendly the farmers are).
 
 
 
;Ayr
 
[http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2008-12-01&lat=-20&long=147&zoom=9&abs=1 Map]
 
 
 
Ayr's point looks quite open and friendly, and possibly even quite simple to get to.  It looks like you just go to Woodstock, follow Webb Rd, then along Dingo Park Rd until it turns to dirt, and then keep on driving.  No worries.
 
 
 
;Townsville
 
[http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2008-12-01&lat=-20&long=146&zoom=9&abs=1 Map]
 
 
 
Bizarrely, our point for Monday appears to be near an airstrip in the middle of nowhere.  Alien landing site, maybe?

:About 8km off the Harveys Range Developmental Road near a tributary of the Burdekin River. There are some tracks in the area which indicate somebody with a 4WD may be able to access although they don't look suitable for a sedan. The tributary will probably be filled with water at the moment.

I think it's good having the Saturday map links on the main page, and a brief description for the current/past ones.  However, as [[User:Randomibis|Simon]] suggested, I'm quite happy for ephemeral discussions (about attempting hashes and stuff) to live here on the discussion page.  If anyone else wants to update the ''Current Meetup Location'' section early on Saturdays, you're most welcome.  Also, when we start running out of upcoming Saturdays, feel free to chuck in another months' worth of links. --[[User:Mattyk|Matty]]

Latest revision as of 11:45, 16 March 2020

Allow me to propose a format for this page:
Section 1
Stuff about meet-ups and locations.
Add a new sub-section for each date about which you wish to comment.
I'll try and keep it clean, by moving old months to a sub-pages.
Section 2
...I haven't worked out yet what should go here. Let's leave it open.

Page Structure

I think it's good having the Saturday map links on the main page, and a brief description for the current/past ones. However, as Simon suggested, I'm quite happy for ephemeral discussions (about attempting hashes and stuff) to live here on the discussion page. If anyone else wants to update the Current Meetup Location section early on Saturdays, you're most welcome. Also, when we start running out of upcoming Saturdays, feel free to chuck in another months' worth of links. Matty
