Melbourne

The majority of Melbourne's urban area is evenly divided between two graticules, with the CBD and inner suburbs lying in the west graticule. It is so much cooler (as in temperature, and as in awesomeness) than Sydney could ever hope (or want) to be. It is also cooler (as in great; fine; excellent; socially adept) than Canberra, though so is nearly everything (except maybe Adelaide). Plus Melbourne has good coffee.

Use of dates

Melbourne is 14 hours ahead of NYC so it's acceptable to use yesterday's date.

Graticule links

Melbourne South East - The north west of this graticule is still within the Melbourne area, or within easy distance of a lot of people.

Local geohashers

Arran will go if it's near, let him know.
Felix Dance plans to check the 4 closest graticules and go to the one most accessible by bike-train
Joanna may be down from time to time, and would love to come along.
mykaDragonBlue will go when he determines that the time is good and appropriate, or often if it's within riding distance ~~(and not to dang hot)~~, or just if someone suggests he meets them there, or he's out traveling anyway. myka is often available in #geohashing
StephenEdmonds will try for any that fall in the metro area
Stevage Comes to some of them if they're interesting

See Melbourne Geohashers for a complete list.
