Wait in Arch Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

AlphaDeltaIndigo: Sadly, I am taking this cache off the Geocaching map as it can not be maintained anymore.

I hope someone can place a better cache at both locations:
1. Archibald Fountain
2. The Waiting Man (my favourite piece of art in Sydney)

I hope all finders enjoyed posing beside both landmarks!

Geocache Description:


WAIT IN ARCH

  • A semi-easy 2 point multi-cache which will introduce you to my two favorite pieces of art. Pull out your calculator!
  • Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider, or other finders, anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
