By The Morris on 16-Aug-15. Waypoint GA7412

We noticed this as soon as we pulled into the carpark, an interesting sculpture.
Thanks for the virtual The Morris.

Nice to have a choice of virtuals to play with in this park TFTC

Found on a walk around the Bendigo CBD chasing ALs and GA/GC virtuals primarily.... long range shot - there were kids picnicking at the base...

After all the years of coming to Bendigo it was time to finally check this one off the list

'Uncle Dan' finally decided to let us 'unclean' Melbourne Metro people to travel to regional so was great to be able to get back to Bendigo to catch up with family again and to grab a cache or two.

Many thanks again The Morris for highlighting this area.

Our travels have bought us to Bendigo and this is one of the caches we found. Hard to miss this larger than life bear.

We spotted the bear from the top of the tower so after finding that and the new traditional cache we came here for a photo. We though that thing in front was humpty dumpty, but our children have a vivid imagination. Thanks for another vurtual.

There sure is. Not sure whose head is lying in front of the bear, but it seems ghastly enough to justify protecting its eyes from the sight.

TFTC The Morris.

Found on the Vic leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A perfect warm Spring day for a drive around in Bendigo again.
Hardly any muggles around today, but there was a few around here.
Thanks for the cache The Morris,

Caching in the Bendigo area for a couple of days and these virtuals were on our hit list. We found the bear on our way to find Peter, lovely sculptures. TFTC

We are still caching around Bendigo and concentrating on GCA caches for the extra points. TFTV and giving us a tour of Bendigo. Very cute

907. It looks like this may be the last year that our annual re-union will take place in Bendigo. So I took some time to grab some GCA virtuals.

TFTV and the porridge.

Early this morning we used the virtual caches to guide us around parts of Bendigo. The mixture of sculpture and historic locations was very interesting, a tour we thoroughly enjoyed.

This is a most interesting sculpture. The subject matter would appear to all, especially children. The black colour makes the object dominate the surrounding area. The skill of the sculptor in creating this art is of teh highest quality. A photo of Mrs y'stassie with The Bear (Pooh?) has been added to the Gallery. Thanks The Morris for the cache and the series.

After dropping off some GCA moveable caches at a well known peppercorn tree we headed into town hoping the spanish cafe would be open. Alas, they were closed and we starved. We did, however, stop in View St for a few GCA virtual caches.

I had to wait a few minutes for some very young kids to stop trying to climb on poor Pooh before I could take a photo with my gps visible.

Thanks The Morris. It's always good to find a GCA cache.

What s gorgeous piece of art. I dont understand it but it's very sweet. I love the fallen penguin. Now I this is art.
