The Place
-37.9585510, 145.0748822. Just off Mill Street in Cheltenham, near Warrigal Road. Inside the shop front of a travel bag warehouse.
Who is going
Felix Dance
Got to the location at about 2:30pm. Not much going on there. Walked in with my bike gear and dodged questions from the sales people. My GPS wouldn't work inside so I had to guess where the exact location was. I hung around for about 15 mins before heading north up Warrigal Rd. Should have brought a camera.
August edition: Actually this expedition was a little more interesting. Since these days I describe my trip before and after getting to the geohash, I rode along the bay from Port Melbourne on a nice sunny day after work, mucked around the backstreets trying to figure out where the point was, eventually got in from Warrigul Rd, then headed north, past some beautiful wetlands, to my friend Talex's house in Mont Albert North, where we both bottled homebrews, before heading home via a pub birthday party in Fitzroy. Real nice day. Here's my route.
