GeoRabble Wollongong is finally here!

Tonight, geospatial professionals, map nerds, data wranglers, and curious minds from across the Illawarra and beyond will gather for another fantastic evening of stories, ideas, and community at GeoRabble Wollongong.

As always, GeoRabble is about more than maps. It’s about the people, adventures, lessons learned, and unexpected journeys that connect our industry.

🎤 Tonight’s Speakers

Alex Allchin, Gangerang Geospatial

“Lemon, lime and (TfNSW) bitters”

Ever wanted to ring a random bicycle somewhere across Sydney? Or fancied yourself behind the controls of a train? Alex will showcase two of his latest interactive web mapping projects that blend creativity, technology, and a healthy dose of curiosity.

🎤Jeff Madsen

“Mapping Your Family Tree”

Jeff explores how spatial thinking can help uncover the stories behind our ancestors, revealing where they lived, worked, travelled, and built their lives. A fascinating example of how geography and personal history intersect.

🎤Will Mitry

“The Power of Maps in Creating Mental Models of the World and Creating Our Journey to Wholeness”

Maps do more than show us where we are. Will explores how mapping shapes our understanding of the world, influences our perspectives, and helps us navigate both physical and personal journeys.

🎤Peter Verwey

“Glutton for Punishment: One Shitbox Rally Wasn’t Enough?”

Some people complete a Shitbox Rally and call it a day. Peter apparently looked at that experience and thought, “Let’s do it again.” Expect adventure, mishaps, questionable decisions, and plenty of laughs.

🎁 Win a Piece of Wollongong

Thanks to our friends at AP Spatial, one lucky attendee will take home a stunning Wollongong map through tonight’s raffle.

Whether you’re a cartographic connoisseur or simply looking for the perfect conversation piece for your wall, make sure you’re in the running. First 10 arrivals get two tickets, now that is an incentive to get in early
