Melbourne

The majority of Melbourne's urban area is evenly divided between two graticules, with the CBD and inner suburbs lying in the west graticule. It is so much cooler (as in temperature, and as in awesomeness) than Sydney could ever hope (or want) to be. It is also cooler (as in great; fine; excellent; socially adept) than Canberra, though so is nearly everything (except maybe Adelaide). Plus Melbourne has good coffee.

• Note: If the geohash location falls within falls Rd, south of Eildon, the Globalhash is in a nearby graticule. These coordinates must be reached at all cost.

Use of dates

Melbourne is 14 hours ahead of NYC so it's acceptable to use yesterday's date.

Graticule links

• Melbourne East
  
• Melbourne West
• Melbourne South East - The north west of this graticule is still within the Melbourne area, or within easy distance of a lot of people.
• Category:Meetup in -37 145 and Category:Meetup in -37 144 contain the expedition pages.

Local geohashers

Felix Dance checks the four closest graticules and goes to the one most accessible by bike-train. He's recently been deflowering graticules in Asia
kozz will go to accessible hashes in the Eastern suburbs where possible
myka will go when he determines that the time is good and appropriate, or often if it's within riding distance (and not too dang hot), or just if someone suggests he meets them there, or he's out traveling anyway. myka is often available in #geohashing
Stevage comes to some of them if they're interesting
Urcher, Bilby and Doomhammer
Buckleyj will go to any if he can get there on his bike.

See Melbourne Geohashers for a complete list.
