The Canberra Graticule


Canberra, Australia

The Canberra graticule lies at -35 degrees latitude, 149 longitude. It encompasses Canberra, Queanbeyan, Bungendore, Braidwood and a number of smaller towns.

The region consists of farmland, National Parks, a generally dry lake, and a few hills that we call mountains. Canberra (the largest city found in the locality) is more commonly known as the Politics, Porno and Pyro hub of the nation.

Meetup Details

XKCD Geo Hash meetups occur at 4pm Saturday afternoons.

Eastern Australia is 14hrs ahead of NYC. So, like all other Australian cities, Canberra's target for the Saturday meet-up will be determined using Friday's data.

Where the target lands in the East of the graticule, -35, 148 may be the place to be. Likewise one notch to the North may be good where the target lands in an accessible spot there, and an inaccessible one here.
