#49 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.

Shades of Morning Glory – painted by Paul Collins – April, 2009. The Sunshine Coast has a thriving surf culture, especially Caloundra. For a wave rider the ultimate experience is being up early and surfing your favourite spot going off (MORNING GLORY).

C = number of surfers depicted actually surfing on the artwork
D = number of double u’s in the name of the major supermarket close to the box
