Townsville
The Townsville graticule is a pretty good one. It neatly includes Magnetic Island, Crystal Creek and Paluma in the north (but not as far as Paluma Dam), Alligator Creek in the east, and almost reaches Charters Towers in the west. Most of the middle will be pretty hard to get to by road but there is some potential.
Graticule Links
Local Geohashers
- Simon made this page. He has a iPhone 3G now and attempted a weekday geohash but didn't get there. He hopes to be at the next Saturday hash point that isn't too far off the bitumen subject to other commitments and the weather.
- Matty K has been on four attempts (three successful; one from two in the Townsville grat). He also made this (an alternative algorithm for Townsville) and this (a Facebook group). He also idles almost continuously on #geohashing.
- YawnWithExcitement has been on several hashes, none actually in his local graticule.
- Twistie is planning a geohash soon when a reasonably accessible location comes up. He also plans to abduct some friends to come with him.
Geohashes
In reverse-chronological order:
2008-10-22 -19 146: Failed - No public access- 2008-10-04 -19 146: Failed - No public access
2008-09-20 -19 146: out near Woodstock
(See: Meetup in -19 146)
Current Meetup Location
- Sat, 3-Jan-2009. Soon...
Recent Unattended Saturday Locations
These are only the most potentially accessible Saturday meetup locations to which no one went.
- Sat, 24-May-2008. Right near the beach 10 minutes north of Saunders Beach. There's a dirt road you can see on the satellite view. Would have been a great spot!
- Sat, 28-Jun-2008. Near an apparent crater and some sort of industrial area (a quarry?) near Dotswood... wherever that is.
- Sat, 12-Jul-2008. Near Dotswood again. There's some sort of dirt road on the satellite view.
- Sat, 16-Aug-2008. Someone's front yard at Alice River. Definitely doable.
- Sat, 27-Sep-2008. Out near the Towers, just north of the river. There's a dirt track from the highway, past a homestead, to the point (200m off), so maybe doable. (*sigh* —Matty)
