Another delightful geohash! I drifted awake at 1:30am with one thought firmly in mind: where was the day's geohash? If it was far away I was prepared to get up at the crack of dawn or earlier and make a dash for it. But amazingly, it was one of the closest and nicest I'd seen in ages! I decided not to alert the Geohashing Gchat group so others would have the pleasure of discovery.
Later that day, the same geohashing congregants as were assembled at 2022-02-09 -37 145 all decided to conglomerate together at the hash. John was walking/jogging from Footscray - no mean feat. I headed off and met Stevage outside his house in Fitzroy North.
It was an easy ride, some creek bike paths and a pedestrian suspension bridge, and then we were there. John had been waiting only a couple of minutes (he says). We took some photos and spent a good hour talking politics over a few beers by the river, watching the cormorants dive for fish and ducks float by.
For Stevage and I at least the trip home was uneventful.
This was my fourth hash in a row. Hopefully we continue in the hash-gods good favour.
Steve's comments
The spot was pretty amazing for me: a place in Yarra Bend Park that I have visited many times during lockdowns, for picnics, for sitting by the river, for walks, bike rides. Honestly couldn't believe how ridiculously good the location was.
Just after we arrived at the point, a couple of people with 4 or 5 greatly varying dogs turned up, including some kind of gigantic sheepdog wearing a muzzle. They had a quick swim and dried themselves all over us in the traditional coat-shaking way. Ah, dogs. Stevage (talk) 05:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I think that big shaking one was a Newfoundland.
