423 Gillott Road - the bit of Gillott Road inbetween Portland and Hagley
roads. Basically, in the dip. (I would've geocoded this response but I'm too
tired to nerd up this response. ;)

I have a car, so that could expedite the mapping process considerably...
Depends though, maybe a nice bit of walking in the fresh air would do us
some good (thing is though, I'll be using an old XDA2i (PDA, the HTC Alpine
if you're familiar with WinMo devices) - what I mean is that I won't have an
unlimited battery life, maybe a couple of hours with the bluetooth on and
the screen off (just recording waypoints with the pda) so the car may be
useful for a mobile recharge station ;) I might bring my laptop in my
rucksack for some backup logging and on-the-go facilities, but it has a
really short battery life because it sucks up so much juice.

I suppose it's not too far from home to get a quick recharge going,
though...
