Location

Adjacent to William Hovel Drive in Belconnen, ACT.

Participants

1PE (Canberra)

Plans

1PE (Canberra)

Not later than one minute after midnight (and then claim the achievement that comes with that.)

Expedition

I went to the turn-off from William Hovell Drive and followed the track to the locked gate at the field. I set up the 'proof' of:

clock with thermometer,
hash sheets,
beer,
compass,
sextant,

and I was wearing formal attire and carried the violin and bow.

I took several pictures in the moments before midnight then did some re-setting of the camera and managed (in retrospect) to have set the focus to 'close' and make everything blurry after that.

In Australia, there can be serious legal consequences for being found to have trespassed. That is why a locked gate is "sufficient proof" for not going further.

Tracklog

No.

Photos

The locked gate, formal attire and violin/bow, clock with thermometer, hash sheets, beer, compass, sextant, and camera inadvertently set on wrong distance setting (so, blurry.)
As for the later shot, but the camera is still focussed okay before being inadvertently set on wrong distance setting (so, blurry.) Just BEFORE midnight.
