Location

Burwood, Christchurch, New Zealand

Participants

The Quaternary (talk) family geohashers

Plans

It's my birthday, and it's the year for a Birthday Hash - fantastic!

Expedition

A short drive across town to the hash. It's in a part of town that was developed over a previous swamp. In the Christchurch earthquake of 2011, the area didn't stand up well and so was abandoned. So what was once a thriving community is now being planted back out into native trees and shrubs.

The hash is actually at the edge of what was a small park between two neighbouring sections. The children's play equipment is no longer here, and presumably ended up in the same landfill as all the tonnes of housing material. And the small park is now part of a large park.
