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.

I'm trying to obtain the Minesweeper Achievement, and to do this I'm most likely going to complete one around Melbourne West. It could've been Melbourne East if it weren't for Mansfield being so challenging!
