Geocache Description:

What is the happy dance? The first I heard of the happy dance was when my daughter told me of a friend who said he was doing the happy dance when she agreed to meet him at a certain venue.
Don't go to the listed coordinates as you may get very wet and it will not help you find the cache.

There are many occasions when the happy dance is appropriate, some of these are:
Your team wins the grand final
You score a winning goal or a personal best
You get the VCE results you need
Your boss gives you a promotion
You get your drivers licence
You find out the person you are crazy about is also keen on you
You work out the answer to a tricky puzzle cache you have been working on for weeks eg: Rabbito's 13th cache or Geof's Monta Rossetta Mystery

but is manditory when you find this cache so go no further if you refuse to do the happy dance.

How do you do the happy dance? There are many versions of the happy dance, but most include:
Running on the spot or in circles
Waving your hands above your head
Yelling out "woohoo!" or "yahoo!"
A backflip, cartwheel or handstand
Finished off with a high five & big hug of the person closest to you.

To find the happy dance cache you need to find an avenue, 42.5km south east from Melbournes GPO, which is a synonym of 'happy dance'. From the only bend in this avenue there are some gardens another 1600m to the south east. The name of these gardens is the name of an establishment you need to find at the 'happy dance' town which is 140km from this spot and Melbournes GPO. Use your Melways to get this information.

Standing in the middle of the carpark of this establishment, get your minutes on S.207 and E.766 and mark this spot.
The year of the establishment is: ABCD
Add to the minutes of your coordinates S.0BB and E.00(C-D)
This is where the cache is hidden, don't forget to do the happy dance, but find a nice level place to do it.
