Expedition

Having a coffee at northland, we thought we should check the hash coordinates. Lo and behold, they are just some few km north of us, in a park sort of place. Surely we must give these a try. All my normal gear is at home, so we will see how we go with just a couple of smart phones. -- mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] @-37.9501,145.1377 22:49, 11 February 2012 (EST)

Ack egad! We have become stuck in new suburbia! We can't get out onto the new main road that is not on the Google maps, and is now between us and the parking near the hash. -- mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] @-37.6537,145.0664 23:16, 11 February 2012 (EST)

Finally found the parking area we were looking for, and got to roughly the spot. GPS reception by my phone today leaves a lot to be desired. I know I was in roughly the right spot, but location drift was up to 30m at times. Finally the GPS settled on me being at the hash for long enough for me to get a proof.

Yay! Successful hashing! -- mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] @-37.6525,145.0764 23:47, 11 February 2012 (EST)
