Location

At a tree beside the road in the 'top' paddock of Lanyon, an historic farm now bordered by the southern suburbs of Canberra. It features Lanyon Homestead, now an historic site and museum.

Participants

1PE (Canberra)

Plans

1PE

Lunchtime, driving down the Monaro Highway.

Expedition

1PE

Uneventful trip down the highway and then along Tharwa Drive through the southern suburbs. Tharwa Drive passes Lanyon, and I stopped to take pictures of the signage before driving in and along the access road. There were cattle on the road at the cattle grid that stops them exiting the property but allows cars to come/go without having to open/close a gate.

I stopped beside the dam that is over the road from the hash point. The tree marking the hash was about 15-20m off the road. I recorded the hash, then drove further to the Lanyon Homestead. I went into the foyer and handed the ActiveGeohasher sheet to the staff members and explained the ethos of geohashing. I was given a brochure and poster, which can be seen in one picture below; the door of the homestead on the broachure in front of the actual door.
