#52 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.

He likes traffic lights, But not when they are red.
Birds in Love – painted by Adele Wan – July, 2017. I designed this piece based on an original painting I completed last year. It is to show my love and appreciation for the wild birds that are native to the Sunshine Coast. Particularly the Black Cockatoos that fly in from the ocean and munch on the orks of the Allocasuarina trees outside my house along the beach. Also the galahs that provide a beautiful splash of pink amongst the green and the brown bushy sand dunes.
Find the signal box at the listed co-ordinates and collect some information from your surroundings.
A = last digit of the phone number to report damage to the signal box
B = number of cockatoos painted on the signal box
C = number of palm trees (not including reflections) plus 2
D = number of hearts minus 1, divided by 8
E = first digit of the signal box identification code
The cache is at S26⁰ 42.ABC E153⁰ 07.DDE
You are seeking a bright bison hanging a short stroll from the box. On this corner of the intersection you may notice a high volume of feeding muggles. It should be a bit less muggly at gz but still lots of passing traffic, so turn on your stealth mode. No room for swaps or pen.
