Note: The graticule map appears to be buggy for location -180, and the google maps data is also incomplete
Taveuni is the third largest island of Fiji in the Pacific, and is one of the few places where the 180th meridian crosses land. Because of this, like the prime meridian, the neighbouring geohashes are mirrored around the line - allowing for neighbouring hashpoints to potentially be VERY close. (someone else can work out the odds for two graticule points to land on Taveuni for the same day)
This is best exampled by comparing the following two maps, both for 12th May 2008.
