This cache has been archived.

inspicio: One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

An easy 2 point multi highlighting one of Adelaide's more quirky and interesting metal sculptures.

At the posted co-ordinates you're standing near north western the corner of the David Jones building with its metal leaf sculptures on the wall above.

There is a heritage building to the west, look up at the metal maple leaf near the top. You'll see a "special message" for the developers of the David Jones building on the stem. This has been here since 2000.

On to the cache...

There is a circular manhole cover at the posted co-ordinates (not on the main road!) with the word "WATER" stamped near the top.

Near the bottom of the manhole cover are some numbers to find:
A0kg and 1BCD88

Q = A + 1
R = B - 1
S = B + D
X = C + A
Y = D - 1
Z = C - A

GZ can be found at:
S 34° 55.QRS
E138° 36.XYZ

GZ in one of Adelaide's parks, a nice walk from here, approx 1km away. Please use stealth, GZ can be muggle central at times. Can be done at night, but I wouldn't do it alone for safety reasons.

Update: June 2012: Unfortunately there is building works, and the "sculpture" has been taken down. Hopefully it will be restored. A newspaper article about the finger is attached.
