Geocache Description:

Not expecting this artwork to reside permanently here as there should be rebuilding around it sometime in near future. Meanwhile you can sit, put your feet up & enjoy this serene patch. Do post photos so we can watch the progress as the city regrows around the Green Room.

Picking up the pieces after the earthquake !    A beautiful area to sit with Flora and Otto to contemplate while the city rebuilds. 

This urban space features mosaic sculptures of Flora and Otto, an artistic pair comfortably dressed in priceless fabric made from chinaware damaged during the earthquakes. The pieces of crockery were donated by Cantabrians and have been lovingly pieced together by the mosaic art group Crack'd for Christchurch. The garden was created from plants shifted from gardens in the red zone by Greening the Rubble, a group responsible for many temporary green areas in cleared plots around the city. Hope you enjoy the peace & pieces here! 

You are also able to sit at Final GZ but won't be as comfortable nor classy as in the Green Room. The Difficulty rating reflects the high muggle factor at both WP and Final.
S43 32.ABC E172 38.ADE are coordinates to Final GZ obtained by studying the quotation on the left side of Flora's back plus other details where
A = number of soldiers on the back
B = (number of letters in third word) - (number of letters in sixth word)
C = number of letters in second word
D = A -2
E = A -1
Check digital root of ABCDE is 4 .
The Final is in a high muggle area so please be stealthy when retrieving and replacing.
The cache is a black 250mL screw top container; please bring your own pen.  smiley
