Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). The western graticule lies between -34,150 and -33,151. This area also includes the Blue Mountains which are glorious in their own right. On days when the target falls in the Pacific Ocean, the meet can be officially held in Sydney's western graticule.

Metropolitan Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). To the West lies the [[Blue Mountains, Australia|Blue Mountains]] graticule. This area includes much of Western Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains themselves. On days when the Sydney target falls in the Pacific Ocean, there is often a suitable location in this graticule.
  
To the south-west, the outlying suburb of Campbelltown is firmly within the [[Wollongong, Australia|Wollongong]] graticule, and Sutherland is in a graticule directly south that is almost entirely ocean.

Of course the target might also fall on the Blue Mountains which are very pretty.  (But note that many locations in the Blue Mountains will be harder to get to than locations out in the Pacific Ocean!)

Sydney Opera House

The Sydney graticule lies at -33 degrees latitude, 151 degrees longitude.

Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest city, and is full of interesting places and twisted, hard-to-find streets. It is a rich cultural tapestry with hidden surprises lurking around every corner, waiting to be found.

In other words, it's perfect for geohashing.

Sydney Surrounds

Metropolitan Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). To the West lies the Blue Mountains graticule. This area includes much of Western Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains themselves. On days when the Sydney target falls in the Pacific Ocean, there is often a suitable location in this graticule.

To the South-West, the outlying suburb of Campbelltown is firmly within the Wollongong graticule, whilst Sutherland lies in a graticule directly South that is almost entirely ocean.

Location by date

29-07-2008

  • Literally 1km away from Sunday's location. Front lawn of 308 Lane Cove Rd, North Ryde (opposite Coxs Rd intersection). [1]

27-07-2008

  • Finally a convenient Sunday meet-up location! Rear of industrial building on Waterloo Rd, North Ryde. [2]

06-07-2008

  • Default is in the sea. Suggest we use the Blue Mountains graticule. A nice area near Windsor. [3]

29-06-2008

  • Default is in the sea. Suggested location is at Barrenjoey Lighthouse. [4]

27-06-2008

  • Rookwood Cemetery [5]

22-06-2008

  • Corner of Willandra Rd & Alkira Cct, Beacon Hill [6]

20-06-2008

  • The side of the road outside 21 Cotswold Rd. Strathfield [7]

Weekend location

Weekend Locations available from 11:30pm Friday night EST
All Sunday meetings are at 3pm AEST until further notice (due to Winter sunset)

Planned outings

Tuesday 29th July

Front lawn of 308 Lane Cove Rd, North Ryde (opposite Coxs Rd). This point is a mere 1km from the hash point of two days earlier and is easily achievable. I plan to go visit the location around 3pm. --CJ 13:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I will be visiting then as well. Let me know if you change what time you'll be getting there. --TJ 21:32, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
