From Geohashing
Nobody does it better

I'm originally from Canberra...

In Soviet Russia, Nemo finds you!

Now I reside in Brisbane (and have lived in both Brisbane graticules)

Nemo is nobody special.

He drives a car named Eliza which, despite the looks, he's not afraid to get out into the wild. Until May 2009, Nemo was native to -35,149.

Eliza and some geohashers
