Expedition

1PE

I did "Go at lunchtime, park on the road, and walk in." I discovered that there was good access to a wide-open wooded slope behind the houses by passing beside them. My GPS worked well enough that I navigated to near the hash then went down-slope to the south till I was within the GPS' 5m area of doubt. There, I discovered an abandoned wombat] hole. So, this is the "departed wombat hash". I could tell it was abandoned by the old pile of dirt (no fresh marks). Wombats are nocturnal, and so would be in a burrow in the middle of the day.

I took some pictures, including of: a tiny group of very small, black fungi growing on the log beside the wombat burrow; an aircraft flying almost right over on its approach to Canberra airport's main north-facing runway; old wombat droppings; very fresh wombat droppings, the houses nearby.
