Description

Your challenge is to capture yourself in this webcam which is at the overpass on Punt Road at the St. Kilds Road junction. Look for the ramps that lead you up to the overpass and the brick graffiti building to help you orient yourself. The direction of the camera may change between morning and afternoon, so this is the morning view which is also where the co-ordinates are set. The image updates every 30 seconds (maybe 60 seconds depending on the speed of the internet at the time), so you might need to hang around for a refresh or two.
Make sure you can be identified maybe by holding your hands over your head, standing on your hands or something else that will identify your from a random stranger. Then load up your photo with your log and make your claim. Logs without photos will be removed.
I hope you enjoy my first Traffic Control Webcam geocache.

First GA cache of the day, and much more fun than a bunch of trads, to be honest.
The supplied link didn't work for me, but I found this:
https://straya.io/webcams/st-kilda-road-punt-road-south/
That's me, sitting on the orange traffic barriers.
I'd intended a bike ride in the Western Suburbs, but the weather had other ideas, so a Quest on foot became Plan B.
In all, starting from Prahran, and finishing in St. Kilda, six Quest cache locations and a further seven other skakids hides were visited, resulting in ten smileys, a DNF and two "did not attempt", while people enjoyed the slightly cooler conditions in a couple of local parks.
Somewhere in there, I also managed a pair of other people's hides, and a bonus couple of virtual GA caches.

So now I return and +Wife is at home on the PC.
My posted pic is a screenshot from my phone - not the best resolution. I shall see if the pic at home is any better.
Perhaps best done in bright daylight rather than twilight.
Thanks for the {FTF} Webcam caughtatwork.
