Location

Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town (in some sort of apartment complex)

Participants

XXOs (talk)

Plans

Today's hash is even easier than yesterday's - it's within 20 minutes' walking distance of where I am for most of the day!

I'm probably also going to stop off at the Rundle Street Hungry Jack's, which is just within 1km of the hash (for the GeoSquishy Achievement).

Expedition

I started out at about 12:20 from university, after having lunch. I briefly stopped at the closest Hungry Jack's, which is just within 1km of the hash, before walking that ~1km distance to the hash.

The actual point was located, I quickly found out, in the carpark of an apartment complex. I first attempted to see if I could somehow enter the lobby of the building, to see if it was possible to access the carpark even though I don't live there or know anyone who does, but all of the entrances required someone who actually lives there to let you in.

Thankfully, there was a weird construction entrance (or something) that allowed me to get next to the private carpark without actually entering it, and that was enough to get the hash in the GPS error radius.

Tracklog

Please note that the tracklog got a bit messed up around Hungry Jack's.


Photos

  • GeoSquishy obtained!

  • ...plus the reciept

  • The location of the hash was annoyingly behind this gate :(

  • Location + time proof (Google Maps)

  • Time + date proof (watch)

  • At the hash, with a very melted one-third-of-a-GeoSquishy!

  • (Alternate angle that actually shows the main apartment building)
