Joanna met Psud at the usual meeting place, the Glowing Cube for an attempt on a Canberra geohash.

We drove towards the hash, taking photos of a funny bumper sticker along the way, and stopping at a country church.

Google maps tells us that there is a road that takes us to within 500m of the hash. However, while still about 4k away, we encountered a gate with 3 "no Entry" signs on it. Psud and Joanna decided this means they should walk.

We found a donkey, and apologised for not having a carrot or apple for it.

Psud found a bridge, and we crossed it. The smallish creek on the map looked rather deep, so we ventured in to see how deep it was. Joanna cut her foot :(

After walking along the road lots, we ventured into the countryside, and were followed by bulls for a bit. They looked mean.

After making it to the hash, and on our way back, we met an irate farmer.

A while later, we met a nicer farmer. We saw him again about 15 minutes later. After checking his cattle were ok, he decided to be nice and offer us a lift back to the road, saving us a very long walk.
