Location

The hash was on the south-eastern shore of Lake George, north of Bungendore, about 45km from my office in Canberra. It was just north-east of a sand and gravel quarry that gathers materials from the lake edge, and about 1km south of the southern-most windmills of the Lake George Wind Farm.

Participants

1PE

Plans

I planned to go on the day, during my lunch time, but a meeting kept me in the office.

Expedition

1PE

The expedition became a two-for-one when the site of the next day's geohash 2012-08-01 -35 149 was only about 0.5km from the previous day's hash. I went on the second day and explored as close as possible to both hashes.

I discovered, as I expected, that the rural property leading to the sites was off-limits, with a sign to that effect.

I took a picture& of the property sign at the entrance, and left the two geohash 'certificates' on the sign.

I then attempted to gain access to the sand/gravel quarry to get a picture from there. I did not want to approach the quarry office as this would require some explanations that I was not willing to give. So, I followed a truck along the quarry access road until I came to the quarry's engineering area, and got another picture& of the truck going to the quarry-face with windmills in the background. The drive back along the access road was without the truck's dust, and much more pleasant.

& My camera decided to not synch with the computer, so I'll put the pictures up when it does.

Photos

& To follow.
