Geocache Description:

A tour of Hobart that will give you a chance to take in some of the marvellous sculptures of Stephen Walker.

Please be very careful in accessing the cache as the final location is in an area that is frequently frequented. The difficulty rating reflects the effort you will need to go to not to be seen. If you are not extremely careful, the cache will not last long (and we could all wind up as suspect terrorists, hiding suspicious things in public). The cache is a micro container and cannot be seen, please ensure it is placed back in its hiding spot when you leave. And as it is a small container, please bring your own pen to log your find! Enjoy!!

GPS performance can be erratic at the 2 locations near high buildings, but the coordinates should put you in the general area to find the sculptures. 

This tour is an easy walk and is accessible by wheelchair for those able to handle going up easy hills (and down slightly steeper ones - fun!), although the final location may be a stretch.  Dogs are not welcome in all areas on Saturdays between 6am - 4pm.

It may be helpful to note the letters against their corresponding numbers as you go:
