A Canberra Geohash in several easy steps
- Llandorin and Deb park at the nearest spot to the hashpoint
- Geohash point is on the northern slopes of Mt Stromlo
- Nemo arrives a minute later
- He had been investigating the inability to drive to the roads on the other side of the bardwire fences
- The three of them trek over a barbwire fence and to a dirt road which is reckoned by dodgy phone GPS as the point.
- Yay Nokia
- Psud arrives with superior GPS-fu, and leads another 50 to a mountain bike trail through the edge of the pine trees, and this indeed WAS the geohash point.
- This was more in line with what google maps thought too
- Despite being on a bike trail, we did NOT achieve a bicycle geohash
- Picnic and photos taken
- Gastronomical discovery of the picnic: Liquorice and salsa. Taste to your own imagination and/or experimentation.
- No robo-camera though
- ???
- But seriously, ???
- PROFIT!!!
- We will try not to spend it all on beer and hookers. Honestly.
Photos
- The hash
It was a sunny day.
Psud arrived late.
Llandorin, Deb and Nemo were already there, but 50 metres from the hash.
We reached the hash point.
Psud left the tripod in the car, so tied the camera to a tree.
This is a picnic.
This is a caramello koala.
This is a naked caramello koala dipped in salsa. An acquired taste.
The hash was in the Mt Stromlo pine forest which was destroyed by bushfire in 2003.
Oblig tower shot, plus a little bit of Canberra City, and the Captain Cook Memorial Water Jet as seen from the hash point.
Nemo's frisbee was flung.
We left the same way we came - over a barbed wire fence.
Nemo jumped it well.
Psud Climbed it carefully.
And both got over. Llandorin and Deb had left earlier.
The sign warned of ducks. None were seen.
