The Place
In a water catchment area to the east of Healesville.
Expedition
Stevage
Stevage was on an epic mountain biking cycle tour through the Yarra Ranges when I messaged him the location of a 'reasonable' geohash. He rode to near the hashpoint from public transport coming out of Melbourne, jumped over a barbed wire fence into a water catchment area, but didn't get to the hashpoint due to a waterfall. It was the middle of the night, near the end-time for the hash, and Stevage had to down-climb a slippery slope for about an hour reaching the gully where the hash was expected to be, but, as it was raining and getting late and Stevage had not sourced a suitable camping site at this stage, he did not attempt to cross the slimy log across the waterfall baring his way. Giving up due to not having mobile reception and hence encouragement from me, he quickly ambled back up the slope to his bike, continuing his cycle tour the next day along the Warburton to Lilydale Rail Trail. Correct me if I'm wrong Stevage.
Photos
Hopefully Stevage provides some photos for this trip at some stage, even if they're a bit dodge. Photos are good stuff.
