Nobody does it better I'm originally from Canberra... This geohasher comes from Canberra. “ In Soviet Russia, Nemo finds you! ” —Psud at 2008-06-14 -35 149 Now I reside in Brisbane (and have lived in both Brisbane graticules) 49 / xy / -27,152 This geohasher comes from Brisbane.

Nemo is nobody special.

He drives a car named Eliza which, despite the looks, he's not afraid to get out into the wild. Until May 2009, Nemo was native to -35,149.

2009 January 19 - Monday - Should this be here on 2008 Oct 25, for on that date I visited this date's geohash location (even better: I did so as part of the trip TO the Oct25 geohash location. There is video of the drive...
