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.

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.

11th February 2009 (Wednesday) - Sydney - Corner of Mullens and Parsons Street, Rozelle.

• Whoo Hoo! A City Geohash! We should have a party, since they are so few and far between! I will be there at 9:00 am (It's on my morning walk route) and 2:30pm (on my way to work) and I'll probably be there at 10:30pm too (on my way home from work). Very much looking forward to meeting people! Kate 14:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I could get there after like 4, if that's good for anyone. --rikkyc 22:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
    • I'll probably be there, bringing a first-time hasher at about four. Gormster 23:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

10th February 2009 (Tuesday) - Sydney - 7 Viscount Cl, Shelly Beach, The Entrance.

9th February 2009 (Monday) - Sydney - In the ocean (no suitable alternative).

8th February 2009 (Sunday) - Sydney - Along the Great North Walk track, off the end of Vernon St, South Turramurra.

• Whilst the temperatures are meant to be insanely hot (around 44 degrees), this looks like it would be a really nice geohash (so long as there aren't any bushfires in that area). --CJ 21:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm going if you're going. According to AccuWeather, Sunday's gonna be 27-29°. Which is not too bad. --rikkyc 22:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
    • Yeah AccuWeather is weird. According to the Beareu of Meteorology it will be 42° out west (so prob slightly less at Turramurra (but not much from experience). But I'm still keen. What kind of time suits you? 4pm meetup? --CJ 22:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
      • I have work at 5 in Bondi Junction, so 4 is a bit late. 3 would be good for me, I think, but earlier would be even better. Weather.com.au, NineMSN and my247 all say 34° max, but from that you can assume they all have the same source.
        • I've just realised that the only time I can make it is sometime between 11.30am and 1pm. Would midday suit you? --CJ 02:30, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
          • That would be awesome. You own a GPS right? --rikkyc 02:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
            • Lets meet at the end of Vernon St at midday then. And no - I don't own a GPS...--CJ 11:34, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
              • Midday being 12 noon? --rikkyc 12:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
