Geocache Description:

Those older geocachers out there will remember the 70s Disco era and that iconic song (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop with it's unforgettable lyrics and fancy dance moves. But can you recall the name of the one-hit wonder band who performed this classic hit? If you look it up on YouTube (see below) you can learn the steps and the band's name. Then head on over to the bus shelter at GZ and "Bus Stop! Do The Bus Stop!"


DO THE BUS STOP?

Do The Bus Stop

 

When is a bus stop not a bus stop? When a bus doesn't stop there anymore of course!

So this cache is not so much about getting you to "Do the bus stop" but rather asking "Do the bus stop" here?

This bus shelter in Sylvania is no longer in use as a bus stop since the 970 bus from Miranda to Hurstville was re-routed a few years back and no longer uses this section of Sylvania Rd. As a result this new bus shelter sits idle with no buses to stop by. The only vehicles that stop here would be the cars stopping by the nursing home behind you. But it is a nice place to stop and rest if you are tired from walking up the hill. Or waiting to meet someone. Or looking for a cache!

So sit down and have a breather, and soon you should have CIH. Be warned: there are houses across the road and the residents in the nursing home directly behind you, so stealth should be undertaken when retrieving and replacing the container.

The cache is now a black magnetic strip that blends in, with room only for the log sheet and no room for SWAG. BYO pen/pencil (no signy, no smiley). Please replace in the same spot (RHS) where the hint indicates. A photo of you doing The Bus Stop is optional!

Follow this link to find out the band's name and learn the dance moves to practice whilst waiting for the next bus. But you could be there a long, long time though!
