Townsville
The Townsville graticule is a scenic one. It neatly includes Magnetic Island, Crystal Creek and Paluma in the north (but not as far as Paluma Dam), Alligator Creek in the east, and almost reaches Charters Towers in the west. Most of the middle will be pretty hard to get to by road but there is some potential.
Graticule Links
Local Geohashers
- Simon made this page. He has a iPhone 3G now and attempted a weekday geohash but didn't get there. He hopes to be at the next Saturday hash point that isn't too far off the bitumen subject to other commitments and the weather. But then he moved to Brisbane in January 2009.
- Matty K has been on five attempts (three successful; one from three in the Townsville grat). He also made this (an alternative algorithm for Townsville) and this (a Facebook group).
He also idles almost continuously on #geohashing.
- YawnWithExcitement has been on several hashes, none actually in his local graticule.
- Twistie has successfully completed one geohash and has failed another. He has handheld GPS.

(See: Meetup in -19 146)
Current Meetup Location
- Sat, 10-Oct-2009. Unbelievable! Not far from the Herveys Range Development Rd, maybe half an hour from Thuringowa. It appears to be a 350m hike through some semi-open bush.
Recent Unattended Saturday Locations
These are only the most potentially accessible Saturday meetup locations to which no one went.
- Sat, 24-May-2008. Right near the beach 10 minutes north of Saunders Beach. There's a dirt road you can see on the satellite view. Would have been a great spot!
- Sat, 28-Jun-2008. Near an apparent crater and some sort of industrial area (a quarry?) near Dotswood... wherever that is.
- Sat, 12-Jul-2008. Near Dotswood again. There's some sort of dirt road on the satellite view.
- Sat, 16-Aug-2008. Someone's front yard at Alice River. Definitely doable.
- Sat, 27-Sep-2008. Out near the Towers, just north of the river. There's a dirt track from the highway, past a homestead, to the point (200m off), so maybe doable. (*sigh* —Matty)
- Sat, 28-Mar-2009. Just by a road at Bluewater.
Links for upcoming Saturdays
Please Note: until the time comes, these links will be inaccurate as they depend on data that isn't known yet. If you can accurately predict the stock market ahead of time, please let us know.
- Sat, 17-Oct-2009.
- Sat, 24-Oct-2009. (please be good, this is my birthday –Matty)
- Sat, 31-Oct-2009.
