Description
A virtual cache at the lookout overlooking Broken Hill.
![](<img src="http://travelwa.iinet.net.au/Geocaching/Big_Park_Bench.jpg">)
The oversized Park Bench was created by Sean O'Keeffe with the assistance of Bob Dyson and Frank Scognamigilo as part of the 2002 Landscapes and Backgrounds Contemporary Public Art in Broken Hill. Sean created this conceptual work so as to confront adults to sit as children - reduced in scale within an otherwise familiar environment.
To log this as a find your log must include a picture of yourself, seated on the Park Bench holding your GPS. Wheelchair cachers seated below the Park Bench will be acceptable.

Im not shure what all the fuss i about, the park bench i found was not that big, maybe all the people in broken hill are small!

While visiting Broken Hill, we ascended the Line of Load to check out the modernistic buildings at the top.
The memorial to deceased miners was a very sombre yet interesting ediface, but the Big Bench was a bit wacky.
We loved Broken Hill, a very interesting place.
We recommend seeing
- The Royal Flying Doctor Service base
- The School of the Air
- The Living Desert Sculpture Park
- The Big Picture
- as many art galleries and mining museums as you can take
- Silverton, and the Daydream Mine while you're out that way

Went to look for this cache in the late afternoon and were looking straight into the sun while sitting on the Big Park Bench. Two of the three members of Shifter Brains in the picture.

Nice easy cache, pity about the town.
This was the first BHP town, obviously. It was also our first experience of a BHP town.
Having visited a few now, this is probably, without question, the worst, not that any of them are a place I would want to live, for ANY reasons...
Definitely worth driving up for the view of Broken Hill.

Back in October I had the GPS but I hid it for a photo.
Only if I showed the GPS. After reading the message from wandering aus I had to change it from found it too noted. Big mistake.
