Geocache Description:

This cache was placed as a part of the Great Eastlink Geocache Project. The Project involved 25 Geocaching Teams from the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne who combined their efforts in July 2008 to create the largest cache series in Australia in which each cache in the series is individually owned by one team.

Proper name for Bird N Worm is "Public Art Strategy”. It is one of the few pieces of art along East Link.Cache is close by. “...A story about place and identity.” “The often controversial nature of public art is my inspiration. Situated in Greater Dandenong,the 13 metre high painted steel sculpture depicts a giant blackbird ominously contemplating an object, part worm - part generic modernist sculpture. Continuing my interest in working with ideas and iconic structures,I have named the sculpture “Public Art Strategy”. Appropriating various aspects of Melbourne’s most famous outdoor sculptures, the work is a ‘cut and paste’ of the City’s public art. Bruce Armstrong’s Eagle, DCM’s Melbourne Gateway,Inge King’s Forward Surge, Clement Meadmore’s Dervish, Peter Cortlett’s Tarax Play Sculpture and Ron Robertson Swann’s Vault are all referenced in Public Art Strategy. I am interested in how the City’s public art icons might come together to tell a story aboutplace and identity.” — Emily Floyd. Description- Fabricated steel, 19 metres long, 13 metres high and 7.5 metres wide at the wing span. You can not access this from the freeway so no stopping on here. Best place could be Cheltenham Rd /East Link then short walk on bike track.Extreme stealth required as there are 3 directions of bike track,Cheltenham road,Dandenong bypass and the track that goes over the creek.Watch for snakes during the warmer months.
