Location

Participants

Kozz, Kozz's dog

Plans

I've been out of the game for a long time, but now have a shiny Android phone with 3G connection and the Geohashing app. We were out in Eltham, so I decided to swing by the hashpoint on the way back.

Expedition

About the most simple geohash I've ever been to. A 10-minute diversion, parked outside Heidelberg trainstation, walked to the hashpoint, took a photo of the plum tree above it and a pano of the streetscape, walked back through the trainstation, drove home.
