For those who were curious, the sculpture I picked was the one
opposite the NAB building in front of the new Victoria Harbour
building... basically a tripod with a nautlius shell on top. A few
people, including both winners, snapped a shot of it.

Event information below for posterity

Most of the initial details match last year's
event, but there will be some twists closer to the event, so watch
the forum topic
on GCA for more information.
9:30am on Sunday July 9th 2005 marks the start of this great
occasion. Join the tourists in our magnificent city, riding the
FREE City Circle tram.
The START and FINISH has been upgraded since last year, and in
addition to excellent and clean facilities including, FREE BBQ’s,
Toilets, Water on tap and seating for a small number of people
(hence try to bring a chair), it also now has the groovy Blowhole
Sculpture and some play equipment.
There is FREE PARKING nearby in Nth Wharf Rd. (S37o 49.327 E144o
56.758) but it’s limited by 2 hrs. The Tram stop is nearby and you
should be fine to make it back in time to move your car once during
the 3hr event, or you can pay $7 for all day parking.
Alternatively, keep with the Public Transport theme and get there
using a Sunday Super Saver Met ticket for $2.50.
The Event will be about 3hrs long, not including the lunch and
get together of all participants after the tram ride. This event
will be suitable for cachers big and small from 1 to 100!
BRING...
- GPSr(s)
- Pen

Please also indicate how many in your group including children

The route is 90% planned and in amongst the lap of the city
there will be:

- Interactive Clues
- Shutterspots (see http://shutterspot.gpsgames.org)
- And a brand new cache along the way (in addition to the
event)!
