-* On Sunday, 2009-11-01, I made my first attempt at a geohash or two. I didnt feel like going to Sydney, instead I went north to the Newcastle graticule.<br>The hash points for Saturday and Sunday were quite close together, a place called Paynes Crossing, about 60km as the crow flies east of Newcastle, in Yengo National Park and Pokolbin State Forest. I didn't see any crows, but I did see two pelicans being chased by a magpie (he was flapping so hard just to keep up, I nearly ran off the road...).<br>I've never been out that way before and google maps showed they were very close to the old convict roads, constructed in the 1820s. The closest I could get was about 4.8km from Saturday's and 3.8 from Sunday's coordinates. To go any further meant crossing into what appeared to be private property and then bushwalking for a bit. Not difficult but also not planned for.<br>There must be plenty of interesting places out there that can be accessed. Next step is get some maps of the bush and wait for another geohash!
