[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]
This graticule includes the most southern part of the North Island. It has a greater land percentage than the neighbouring Wellington region making it slightly more suitable for geohashing. The land is also only from one island, eliminating a 3+ hour, $100+ ferry trip.
As for all New Zealand graticules, the Dow Jones does not open for any day until it is 1:30am the next day in New Zealand. Weekend meetups are still possible, however.
