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:
- 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.
- 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 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

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.
