#8 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.
Brolly – painted by Mieke Salna – May, 2017. Abstract of beach umbrellas on how the beach looked 50 years ago, with a wink to the colours of that era.
The cache is at the listed co-ordinates in the immediate vicinity of the signal box. The original leafy camouflaged cache went missing about 6 months after hiding and was probably difficult to keep in place, so the replacement is of a more familiar type with a more secure attachment.
You are seeking a very small container that will only attach in one spot, so ensure you replace it correctly. Version #3. No room for swaps or pen.
Congratulations to El_peregrinos for FTF!!!
