Downtown Torquay - The decorated tree Traditional Cache
juc_cacher: I have decided to archive this one, as it disappears too often. I may reactivate the site if I can find a better hide nearby.
Thanks to all who have found and enjoyed this one over the time it's been active.

Torquay's first urban micro, this cache is hidden close to a highly decorated tree. It is NOT on the tree itself ! Please make sure the cache is secure before leaving, it can easily fall.
After a local arts festival, which resulted in various trees, signs, poles and other structures being yarn-bombed, the people in one of the nearby clothing stores, who are friends with my wife, decided to liven up the main street a little by decorating the tree. You may need to be a scientist to figure out which shop, but you don't really need to be one to find this cache.
The cache is a micro, hidden nearby.
Please do not climb on the tree, or damage or remove bits of the decoration. The cache is NOT on the tree and is NOT part of the decoration.
Parking can be tricky at peak times and stealth will be required, especially during the day, since Gilbert St is Torquay's main retail strip. The difficulty rating of 2 (thanks for the suggestion Phetlern) is due to the high muggle presence at times...if you do this cache at 5pm ona winter week night, you may wonder....come back at 11:00 on a summer Saturday and you'll see ! :)
Please make sure the cache is secure before leaving, it can easily fall.
Not an additional logging requirement by any means, but photos of you and the tree, or just the street scene including the tree, would be greatly appreciated ;-)
