Location

Near the 330kV power transmission lines just west of the main Canberra sub-station at Parkwood, and near the "green waste" conversion station.

Participants

1PE

Plans

1PE

The hash was on the extreme eastern edge of the graticule, and north, so it was near the suburban fringe of Canberra in the adjoining -35 148 graticule. I would go by after work, and walk out under the power lines if possible.

Expedition

1PE

I drove along Parkwood Drive and realised that the grasslands were not navigable, and the herd of cows might make things untenable. Then, I realised that the "green waste" depot extended to very near the line of three power towers. So, I drove in as though I was going to dump some vegetation at the dump face.

I stopped near the fence beside the dump, realising that some no-go signs were there preventing closer access, and took some pictures.

Along the track back out, I got some pics of the green waste recycling equipment.

I stopped near the sub-station and took pictures of the towers, then of the sub-station.

Photos

The green waste and the towers beyond. The hash is just past the furthest tower. :-)
Fields and towers, and cows. The hash is just to the left of the right-most tower (and the green waste depot is out of pic to the right, behind the trees.)
Big-Iron waste masher on the right, and the hash is out near the left-most tower. Dumped waste on the right, munched on the left.
330kV sub-station
