The Sydney graticule lies at -33 degrees latitude, 151 degrees longitude.
Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest city, and is full of interesting places and twisted, hard-to-find streets. It is a rich cultural tapestry with hidden surprises lurking around every corner, waiting to be found.
In other words, it's perfect for geohashing.
Contents
[hide]Sydney Surrounds
Metropolitan Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). To the West lies the Blue Mountains graticule. This area includes much of Western Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains themselves. On days when the Sydney target falls in the Pacific Ocean, there is often a suitable location in this graticule.
To the South-West, the outlying suburb of Campbelltown is firmly within the Wollongong graticule, whilst Sutherland lies in the graticule directly South that is almost entirely ocean.
Meetups
Dow Jones opens at 9:30 EDT, which is 12:30am to us in Sydney.
Weekday meetups take place at whatever time specified, usually around 4pm on days achievable.
Weekend locations are available at 12:30am Friday night/Saturday morning (AEST).
Weekend meetups in the Sydney graticule are currently scheduled for 3pm Sunday, unless another time or day is specified.
Upcoming Locations
Please leave comments here about your intention to attend meet-ups.
- This sounds sweet. Totally easy to get to (although getting to the spot in the trees may be difficult). Count me in for 4pm. --rikkyc 13:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Looks good, nice and close for me. However, RealLife (tm) may intrude, so I'm not sure if I'll be there, but if possible, I'll try for 4pm. --Flowblok 07:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Awesome. That's less than 3km from my house. It'd be a 3min drive or a half hour walk. 4pm sounds good. Should we meet at the end of Sirius Rd? --CJ 07:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think so - it looks the easiest point to get to. --Flowblok 21:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Going from Sirius Road would be difficult as there's like four times the length of trees compared to the car park side. --rikkyc 11:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Woot! Will definitely be going, will probably bring people. (Millionmice and Aegwyn, if either of them are on here.) Also, I think that's an electrical substation on the carpark side, so I would recommend Sirius Rd. Gormster 14:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Shit, I'm gonna have to cancel. Have fun. --rikkyc 03:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
