Got into Geohashing in a big way in 2010 but was cruelly struck down by my cuboid bone repeatedly popping out of alignment, which practically stopped me walking for about three months. Shortly afterwards I became a father, and in this capacity my time now quite curtailled, so I'm having to be selective with hashing until the little one is old enough to come along with me.

August 2006 Flinders Street Station.jpg This geohasher comes from Melbourne.

About me

Originally from New Zealand, the home of the William Webb Ellis Trophy, now living in Melbourne.

In 2010, started hashing lots. Got injured. Stopped hashing lots. Shortly afterwards became a father, hashing was backseated for a while.

In 2015 / 2016 got more time, started hashing again.

In 2016, got hit by a car, stopped hashing.

In 2017, started hashing again.

Why?

Why not? I still work behind a desk, and I LOVE the outdoors, the further away from humanity the better.

Completed hashes
