Geocache Description:

Part of the Oz Rock series. Keep an eye out for new caches in this series.

Being fans of Australian music we decided to create a series in and around Canberra that celebrates "Oz Rock". Each cache is connected (however abstractly) to an Australian made song, band, artist, album or famous lyric.

We are still building this series so stay tuned for new caches in the OZ Rock series.

==The Baby Animals==
"Lead singer, Suze DeMarchi started singing in local Perth pub bands at the age of 17. As Suze admits:

"after the first couple of gigs, I knew that there was nothing else I would rather do If I never did anything else the rest of my life but record and play live, I’d be happy."[citation needed]

For the next four years, DeMarchi was in England recording and writing as a solo artist, with EMI records. But disheartened by the record company's attempt to slide her into a pop career, and missing not working with a band, together with encouragement from The Angels then manager John Woodruff, she returned to Australia in mid 1989. On her return she set about forming a new band, fellow Perth musician Frank Celenza recommended his best friend, bass player Eddie Parise. Based on a referral by John Woodruff, DeMarchi approached guitarist Dave Leslie to join the band and finally Celenza joined as the band's drummer.

November 1989 saw the band’s first gig at the Kardomah Café in Sydney, under the name 'Woody's Heroes', and the start of constant touring through the city’s pubs and clubs. The name 'Baby Animals' came about after seeing an advertisement for a local TV show, Wheel of Fortune, hosted by 'Baby John Burgess'. Another version suggests the name came from a calendar in a mall. In at least one interview, however, DeMarchi mentioned they changed the origins of the name in different interviews as it got boring answering the same questions."

You're looking for one of those "mint" tins. You're quite exposed at GZ so super stealth is required.
