Geocache Description:


Dear GeoMystery Club recruit,

Welcome to the GeoMystery bootcamp.

GeoMystery Club is an elite group of field mystery-solving geocachers around the world and Syndey chapter is now actively looking for sharp-minded individuals to help with missions around the state. Before accepting anyone into our secret circle, recruits are required to pass a series of capability tests in order to ensure that actual missions will be carried out by highly competent GeoMysts.

The Victorian Renaissance is the 2nd of 3 recruitment challenges. This challenge shall test the recruit's image analysis and eagle eye skills on top of the expected deduction and stealth ability in the geocaching field. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to unlock the secret of the The Victorian Renaissance, related to the "paintings" used to cover up GeoMyst secrets along Victoria St.

During the Pre-victorian Renaissance Era when the world was still in black and white, a group of undercover GeoMyst renaissance artists covered the numbers and names of the secret homes of fellow GeoMysts along Victoria St with "paintings" to protect them from the MonochroMonster, the evil godly invader who removed all colour from existence. After overthrowing MonochroMonster and banishing him from the current reality, the world colours have now been restored and the "paintings" removed, exposing the names and numbers of the former homes of Victorian GeoMysts once again. However, the secrets remain locked deep inside the The Embarkation Space and can only be revealed to rightful GeoMysts

Warning: Recruits who do not meet the club's competence requirements shall be shrunk down to minifigs to be utilised in future recuit challenges.

May Victoria's secret angels guide your way. ;)

Good luck potential GeoMyst
Seek and solve.
