Location

In a field near Nathalia.

Participants

Lachie

Plans

Lachlan was in the midst of a four day cycle tour from Swan Hill to Bendigo. The day of the hash was day 2 of the tour which should have been about 110km but was extended to ~140km due to road closures from floods. When the coordinates came out Lachlan noticed they would only be about a 20km detour from the planned route. Not trusting himself Lachlan messaged several geohashers that he might do the hash to acquire some external accountability.

Expedition

Lachlan woke up in a tent on the banks of Gunbower Creek near the twin cities of Koondrook/Barham. He set off along the dirt road along the creek and enjoyed the misty sunrise. Second breakfast presented it self in Cohuna and then Lachlan was back to following the creek. The road through Daltons Bridge was truly delightful, but it did deteriarate into a mud track somewhere around the Murray.

Sadly the beautiful roads along waterways were not to last and there was about 30km of highway to get to Echuca for lunch. After an icecream, a pie, etc. it was back on to beautiful waterways up to Nathalia, where Lachlan found the hash in a field.

From there it was another 20 odd km to the house of some friends which marked the end of bike riding for the day.
