Expedition

1PE

I went there on the way home from work. It had been a wet and overcast day and the gloomy evening light illuminated the site only a little as I turned up the access road. I was confronted with a construction fence topped with rzor wire and a sign saying that this was now a site for (part of) the Embassy of China in Australia. I could hear construction work going on inside the fence, and there were some lights on in the partially completed building. I could not get to the hash site but got right to the security fence, within about 25 metres of the hash site.

I took a picture beside the sign and gate.

I do not know whether I was on the designated site of the land assigned to the Embassy, but presumably they build just INSIDE the boundary. so, as I walked right up to the gate, I presume that I stepped onto their land. AND, as an embassy is deemed to be the land of the country involved, I guess that I stepped onto Chinese soil. So, I'll claim to have travelled to another country to go to this hash. However, I will not be applying for the Ambassador_achievement.
