Location

A farmer's field beside the Molonglo River corridor.

Participants

Plans

It was apparent that this would not be possible except by proxy while looking from a nearby road. I worked out how to line up several farm dams to indicate where the hash was, to take a picture in the correct direction.

Expedition

1PE

I drove along the road to the north-east of the hash, found the nearest dam, lined up the next dam, and took several pictures. The hash was just north-east of the road that allows servicing of Canberra's main water supply pipe, that runs along the Molonglo River above ground at this point. These winding gravel roads are sometimes used for car rallies. They are locked-roads within the farm this point (hence unable to be accessed); other roads used are in government forests, where the public can go, normally.

A kite (raptor bird) was flying nearby, including several times stopping stationary while looking for prey. There is a picture showing this, but the bird may not be visible.

Tracklog

Photos

The hash is beyond the small tree to the right of the farm dam. Note the water pipe (white streak) beyond the hash.
Raptor, hovering, barely visible to the top-right of the tree.
