In a park in Hoppers Crossing

Expedition
Still whincing from my failure on Friday, this geohash presented the opportunity to get my game back with a success - right in the middle of a public park just off the Federation bike trail.
After faffing about at home trying to build a bookshelf I saw a train departing shortly for Hoppers Crossing so I left the house to take it.
Just as the train arrived, I got a call from my dad, who was at a loose end and wanted to see what I was up to. I told him I was busy.
But when the train reached the next station, I realised I'd misread me public transport app and I'd have to change trains here - and it was a long wait for my connection.
I tried to see if dad was interested in a ride from here, but no. So, inspired by my own idea, I decided to ride the rest of the way myself anyway.
Stopping only to buy brewing supplies in Yarraville, and tasting some of their delicious beer, I hurtled along the trucky Francis Street and onto the Federation Bike Trail, which tours the outer western industrial suburbs.
Along the way I encountered an algal swamp, and a guy trying to pump it up, but it shallow enough to ride through.
Later I came across some road construction work that I'd been responsible for bidding on with a construction company I'd worked with last year, which was interesting to see.
Finally, after passing under a century-old, brick aquaduct I arrived at the hash-park.
