The Sydney graticule lies between -34,151 and -33,152.

The Sydney graticule lies at -33 degrees latitude, 151 degrees longitude.
  
 
Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest city, and is full of interesting places and twisted, hard-to-find streets. It is a rich cultural tapestry with hidden surprises lurking around every corner, waiting to be found.

Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). The western graticule lies between -34,150 and -33,151. This area also includes the Blue Mountains which are glorious in their own right. On days when the target falls in the Pacific Ocean, the meet can be officially held in Sydney's western graticule.

Metropolitan Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). To the West lies the [[Blue Mountains, Australia|Blue Mountains]] graticule. This area includes much of Western Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains themselves. On days when the Sydney target falls in the Pacific Ocean, there is often a suitable location in this graticule.
 
 
To the south-west, the outlying suburb of Campbelltown is firmly within the [[Wollongong, Australia|Wollongong]] graticule, and Sutherland is in a graticule directly south that is almost entirely ocean.
 
 
 
Of course the target might also fall on the Blue Mountains which are very pretty.  (But note that many locations in the Blue Mountains will be harder to get to than locations out in the Pacific Ocean!)

Sydney Opera House

The Sydney graticule lies at -33 degrees latitude, 151 degrees longitude.

Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest city, and is full of interesting places and twisted, hard-to-find streets. It is a rich cultural tapestry with hidden surprises lurking around every corner, waiting to be found.

In other words, it's perfect for geohashing.

Sydney Surrounds

Metropolitan Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). To the West lies the Blue Mountains graticule. This area includes much of Western Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains themselves. On days when the Sydney target falls in the Pacific Ocean, there is often a suitable location in this graticule.

To the South-West, the outlying suburb of Campbelltown is firmly within the Wollongong graticule, whilst Sutherland lies in a graticule directly South that is almost entirely ocean.


Weekend Locations

Weekend Locations available from 11:30pm Friday night AEST.
xkcd weekend meet-ups in the Sydney graticule currently occur at 3pm SUNDAYS.
(This may revert to 4pm during Summer months)


Upcoming Locations

Please leave comments here about your intention to attend meet-ups.
