Description
A Geoart series celebrating the music of U2
My first attempt at some Geoart!
A couple of years ago I completed a series of geocaches around Lake Googong in Canberra which celebrated the music of Queen, and since then I've wanted to do something similar for the band U2 (I'm a bit of a fan, my first German Shorthaired Pointer was called 'Bono').
The introduction of the Geoart type in GCA seemed like the perfect opportunity to realise this little goal, and I've finally got myself organised to put the series together.
I wasn't sure how I was going to select a reasonable number of songs for the series, so decided on the setlist for the concert I went to in December 2010 in Melbourne - the only time I have seen the band live!
Here is the setlist from that night:
- Return of the Stingray Guitar
- Beautiful Day / Here Comes the Sun (snippet)
- I Will Follow
- Get on Your Boots
- Magnificent
- Mysterious Ways / My Sweet Lord (snippet)
- Elevation
- Until the End of the World / Anthem (snippet)
- I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For / Into My Arms (snippet)
- Mercy
- Bad
- In a Little While
- Miss Sarajevo
- City of Blinding Lights
- Vertigo / Highway to Hell (snippet) / Devil Inside (snippet)
- Funky Town (snippet) / I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight / Relax (snippet) / Two Tribes (snippet)
- Sunday Bloody Sunday / Get Up Stand Up (snippet)
- Scarlet
- Walk On / You'll Never Walk Alone (snippet)
Encore
- One / I'll Stand By You (snippet)
- Amazing Grace (snippet) / Where the Streets Have No Name / All You Need Is Love (snippet)
- Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
- With or Without You
- Moment of Surrender
"Miss Sarajevo" is a song by U2 and Brian Eno, credited to the pseudonym "Passengers". It was released on 20 November 1995 as the only single from their album 'Original Soundtracks 1'. Luciano Pavarotti makes a guest vocal appearance, singing the opera solo. Pavarotti wasn't there for the concert!
Parking is tricky close to GZ, may be easier to park at the intersection with Penna Rd and walk along the lovely 'new'ish' footpath, or there is some room on the verge a hundred metres or so east of GZ.
Be careful retrieving and returning this cache. You may need a TOTT!

Back down south hunting GA caches for some more BS game ammo.
This cache was my 3rd for the day logging at 0850 on a glorious winters day.
This one was no trouble extracting with cache in top condition.
Many thanks for placing the U2 series of caches for the BS games...exc theme....thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST.
Thanks for this cache Lil Rafa. The ammunition bag is starting to fill again.
Returned today to find those caches in this series that I had not found
Found all but two of the remainder - "Elevation" and "Walk On"
The views associated with the caches found today were impressive, especially on such a nice Winter's Day
In all today I managed to find 17 GCA caches and 1 GC Cache
In so doing; I expended 1505 calories using 10730 steps to cover a distance of 8.1km
This was a quick find; Sainting it at 1401 hours
TFTC, TFTS

After so much rain we were pleased to see a dry day, and even a bit of sunshine. SSR picked me up and, after a very long wait for coffee, we were on our way in search of U2. We had 2DNFs, lots of short walks, some very sloppy ground, some wonderful scenery, a few groans, many laughs and plenty of finds.
Thanks for the series Lil Rafa
As for the finds we had a good day finding a few different hides around the area, I guess this is Lil Rafa's stomping ground/walking route as there was lots of places I didn't know were accessible.
Thanks for a great day out.
Thank you for the great string of Geo Art Caches. A series to Recognise the music of U2 is well deserved and this series is very good, fitting of the band. A variety of cache hides and some great locations. A couple of new locations as well!
Thank you for the series
