A Canberra Geohash in several easy steps

1. Llandorin and Deb park at the nearest spot to the hashpoint
   • Geohash point is on the northern slopes of Mt Stromlo
2. Nemo arrives a minute later
   • He had been investigating the inability to drive to the roads on the other side of the bardwire fences
3. 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
4. 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
5. Picnic and photos taken
   • Gastronomical discovery of the picnic: Liquorice and salsa. Taste to your own imagination and/or experimentation.
   • No robo-camera though
6.  ???
   • But seriously, ???
7. PROFIT!!!
   • We will try not to spend it all on beer and hookers. Honestly.

• 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.
