Expedition
I noticed this geohash the day before and knew I had to go for it. Strangely, I was at the geohash location that day, attending the Yarraville Festival, and almost occupied the exact same spot.
This morning, I woke up a bit earlier than usual, jumped on my bike and headed west, away from work. I reprised yesterday's route to Yarraville, and it wasn't long before I was standing outside the supermarket where the hash was located. Unfortunately, the supermarket was closed and I'd have to wait for 20 minutes before I could get in, so I looked around for a cafe.
But, having a closer look, I saw that the hash was actually virtually inside the wall between the supermarket and an open carpark next door. So I just took it from the other side.
After uploading the photos, I decided to ride back a different way. I headed towards the public punt across the Yarra, underneath the Westgate bridge. Luckily the timing was good, because the punt was arriving at my side of the river just as I got there. I crossed the river and rode to work through Port Melbourne and St Kilda along the beach bike path.
Here is the route of my trip.
