#44 Sunshine Coast traffic signal box art trail
The unassertive traffic signal box is often overlooked as it sits at intersections and roadsides in metropolitan areas. Urban Smart Projects, a community art initiative, has made it their mission to bring colour and art to cities and help fight graffiti. (www.urbansmartprojects.com)
Follow this trail around the Sunshine Coast and admire the original designs reflecting the vibrancy, character and stories of the community. I have included a statement from each artist about their artwork. The geocaches on this trail should be fairly quick to find to prevent cachers being too conspicuous searching in these high muggle traffic zones.
You may also like to sing Monty Python’s song, “I like Traffic Lights” on your way to keep you in the mood. (www.montypython.net)
He likes traffic lights, But only when they’re green.
The Hollow Tree – painted by Frida Forsberg – June, 2017. Old trees with hollows provide vital nesting habitat for many native birds. Here are just a few bird species that need hollow trees to rear their young.
The cache is at the listed co-ordinates in a small green patch dominated by pine trees. The signal box can be more closely examined by crossing the ditch towards the intersection. This area is close to a school pick up traffic zone, so would be best avoided at those times. The cache location itself is not easily seen from the school, however.
You are seeking a small repurposed container hidden in a tree that may be home to some birdlife itself. Be brave and reach in….Room for small swaps. Container replaced Oct2020, now look for the bright lid.
Congratulations jwill607 & dickbev on the FTF!!!
