About Me

Josh / Catherine (he/she/they), a student in Melbourne.

I mostly get around by public transport. I do have an e-bike and some hiking / camping equipment, but the e-bike is currently being repaired and I could probably still improve my camping equipment inventory. So, public transport it is for now!

I largely go for hashes that are accessible by public transport in Melbourne, as long as I have time. Though, I also plan to get some hashes from other graticules when the opportunities arise, especially if they land near a regional train station. Feel free to ping me on the Discord server if you're wondering whether we can meet up at a hash - I love the opportunity to do meetups at hashes and expand the Meetup Graph! I haven't yet set up notifications from edits on my talk page, so I might not be responsive enough there.

One of my current objectives is to unlock the Swan Hill graticule (and potentially also claim an XKCD-100) by boarding one of the readily available regional trains. I check the towns here - as well as many other regional towns - on a regular basis to see if any Geohash is close enough to get there and back in one day. Maybe I will even complete a Minesweeper centred around the Bendigo graticule.

Though, I am probably more likely to complete a Minesweeper around Melbourne West. It could've been Melbourne East if it weren't for Mansfield being so challenging!
