Scientist and author Lewis Thomas once suggested how the people of
Earth should communicate with the universe: "I would vote for Bach,
all of Bach, streamed out into space, over and over again. We would
be bragging of course, but it is surely excusable to put the best
possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance. We can
tell the harder truths later."
If you're not familiar with Bach's music, here's a few tiny
snippets to whet your appetite, and also to help you find this
cache!
Papa Bear_Left's only sung this in English (in public, anyway,)
but the translation bears little resemblance to the orignal
German!

Hearing this on the
Sydney Town Hall's magnificent pipe organ was a real
experience!

This is such a beautiful piece of music, it brings a lump to
PBL's throat every time.

Mama Bear_Left once used this as part of her regular "morning
music" and as a ringtone, and it almost got overexposed.
Almost...

Other things he wrote that aren't especial favourites, but just
seemed to work for this cache:
OPQR — Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen
STU - Meine Seele, lass es gehen
The cache is at S JT° PA.MRQ E OKD° BE.UNI
Because this is quite a public spot, the cache container is
heavily camouflaged. And when we say heavily, we mean heavy as in
concrete!
So please, even more than usual, only access this cache if you're
sure that you're not being observed! If it gets muggled, we
probably won't replace it and that's a lot of work to waste for a
moment's carelessness.
The plastic container is held in magnetically, so it won't fall out
when you lift the 'rock' to grab it.
It's between two other rocks.
