Let’s talk slope analysis and why it’s flawed
Months ago a front-page ABC article detailed how differences in a GIS slope analysis created variances on the map and had material impacts on logging areas. As spatial professionals, we should be able to fully understand and defend the geo-processes we use and more importantly what we don’t use.

Mapping Banh Mi
Banh mi are probably one of the most popular lunch meals in Australia. I set out to map the over 300 shops in Melbourne that sell them, including data on the cost. This can reveal some interesting spatial insights!

15,000 random adventures
In 2008, the xkcd webcomic published a formula that generates a random, unpredictable location every day within each 1 degree graticule. Thus was born the sport of “geohashing”, which has since seen more than 15,000 expeditions around the world, as serendipity-seekers set out through sun, snow and suburbia to stand…nowhere special. Steve showcases the highs and lows of this literally random caper, through a purpose-built data visualisation tool, geohashing.win.
Steve is a freelance web developer and Mapbox expert, known for visualisations of large datasets such as opentrees.org. More examples at hire.stevebennett.me.
And thanks to our Sponsor Spatial Vision!!

OK, this is a little last minute, as is often the case at Christmas, but we are all keen to get out and have some fun and network before Xmas holidays, so spread the word far and wide and get as many people as we can down to the usual venue, and leave 2021 in the rear view mirror.
We will be holding the event on Tuesday the 7th December from 5:30ish, with the usual proceedings kicking off at about 6 depending on how distracted our MC gets by catching up with all of you lovely people!
For those who haven’t been lucky enough to attend a Georabble event before, the details are very simple:
Or more simply, its a night of fun, with a little bit of education, but an opportunity to network, meet new friends and catch up with old friends.

Good evening Georabblers of Brisbane!
Can you sense the excitement in the air…24 hours to go…until the long-awaited return of Georabble!
It’s been a long time between ‘rabbles – we’ve been cancelled twice due to COVID, but it looks like nothing can stop us now.
We will see you tomorrow night from 5:30 at the Charming Squire. Formalities to kick off around 6pm.
We have three fabulous speakers lined up – Jessica Watson, Marcus Toyne and Wayne Lee-Archer – who have some interesting stories to tell.
There is still some capacity for the event – so make sure you invite your BGF (Best-Geo-Friend), or anyone that likes maps, beer or hot chips, and register at the following link:
Please be aware that a new registration is required for this event (the cancelled event tickets do not carry over). But I’ve made sure that the tickets are free 😊
Georabble is run by volunteers – so our event is made possible through this event’s sponsor Pointerra – they will be serving up a massive cloud of hot chips to keep us happy.
