Geocache Description:

Another in the Broadband Box BB series. A recent addition with a bright & envigorating paintjob. This one is on a quieter street in Upper Hutt, but will still need a large amount of stealth and care with recovery & replacement.

STEALTH REQUIRED!


Yet another different style of artwork on this one ... I'm loving the fact they are mixing up the artists, and every now and again another of these pieces of street art pops up unexpectedly.

Like the other caches in this series the purpose is to bring the art work to a much wider (geo-caching) audience. Note that the location can be highly visible to numerous passing muggles!

The broadband cabinets that have sprung up around the country have proven highly susceptible to graffiti, and are often re-targeted soon after the graffiti is cleaned off. The broadband company, in conjunction with local councils, runs a programme of beautifying these boxes, with the hope this will discourage graffiti, and giving the local community a piece of artwork they can enjoy. Many of these cabinets around the country are receiving brightly coloured artworks carried out by local artisits. Each cabinet is painted in a different theme, often in consultation with the local residents. The company prioritise those cabinets that are most frequently hit with graffiti.

I considered adding a photo to the cache description, but thought it better to let cache-finders experience the art as they come upon it. {I may add a photo at a later date}.

Please replace exactly as you found it. Use stealth and any required covertness/deception to avoid bringing this cache to the attention of muggles. A writing implement will also be necessary!

Please replace the cache exactly as you found it - thank you!
