I like your handwriting, owl. --joannac 21:02, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Did you guys have a Saturday meetup? Ohhh - please tell us more! --CJ 23:07, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Alas, we didn't meet up, but it was the best hash point I think I have ever been to! Kate 15:00, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Kate. I seem to have turned your report into a political diatribe (it wasn't supposed to be, but whoops), so if you'd like me to revert it I certainly will. My report will be along shortly. Regards, UnwiseOwl 02:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC).

It's fine :-) I was interested to read it- even if no one else manages to get to the end of our epic! I am very interested to hear about your adventures! --Kate 08:20, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

That's an excellent adventure, and I'm sure an incentive to stay longer at the geohash in future. I'm curious though, when you say "arrived from Scotland" do you mean "forcibly deported in chains from Scotland"? I had the idea that 19th century British emigrées didn't have a lot of choice in the matter when the destination was Australia. But seeing as your relatives are all buried in proper graveyards and have plaques, perhaps your family was more closely associated with the transporters than the transportees? What percentage of white people in Australia in the 1800s were deportees, anyway? -Robyn 04:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
