Location

Between two football ovals in Bulleen Park.

Participants

Expedition

I was already planning on doing a bike ride on some trails out this way. Melbourne is in lockdown so you're not supposed to go too far from home. This geohash was only 8km from my house, so pretty good luck!

I extended a route given to me by a friend, including lots of muddy mountain bike trails. Lots of people wearing masks (pretty new around here), including one lady walking holding one in her hand, who quickly put it up to her face as I approached.

The point itself was trivial to reach, you could ride right up to it. (Sadly, I couldn't remember which side of a low fence it was on, and guessed wrong, so I had to walk the last couple of metres).

Once I got there I realised just what a beautiful day it was, and wandered around in the sun a little bit.

Soon, I saw a young man heading towards the hash, staring intently at his phone. Could be another hasher? Sadly, no, it looks like he was just picking some music, and then heading off for some jogging.
