Geocache Description:

The Emu Mob's thirteenth cache is one of a series of caches that focuses on public sculpture. Sculpture seems particularly prone to diverse opinions and arguments as to "value". This is your opportunity to comment.

What is art? To one person, an item may have artistic value, but to another, the same item might bring a response of:
WHAT THE . . . ?

The subject of this cache could easily elicit either response. This sculpture acknowledges the strength of the community, and celebrates its individuality and character. Or does it? If nothing else, it is colourful and eye-catching. You may have seen other examples of this artist's work at the National Gallery or at Southbank.

After you have admired (or deprecated) the sculpture, gather the following information:

  1. The name of this sculpture has five words. The number of letters in each of the five words are a, b, c, d, and e.
  2. The number of letters in the artist's first and last names are f and g.
The cache is located at S 38° 08.(g+c)(b–c)(c+f), E 145° 07.(b–c)(b+c)(e–c). It's about 160m from the advertised coordinates. You will be partially hidden from passers by when at GZ, but as always, please replace the cache exactly where you found it, and cover it to discourage accidental discovery.

On 13 December 2006 this cache was moved (yet again) to a new location. It's still in the same park as the advertised coordinates. You are welcome to recalculate the final coordinates and claim a new find for this cache, even if you have found it previously in its old location.


The Cache:

The cache container is a 400mL Sistema clip-top box.

The initial contents are:

Emu
Mini fruit (apple, orange, and raspberry)
Clip-on koala
Memory chip key ring
2 × Chupa Chups
Key ring clip
Log book/stash note and pen

And to the big question: what does it mean? Well, that's a question that you're going have to figure out for yourself. Please feel free to express your opinion in your online log.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you find the sculpture worth the visit.

This cache is based on an idea by US cacher Uncle-Al. Used with his permission.

Thanks to Team Crackers for suggesting this sculpture for the series.
