Byways of Burnside #14 Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a simple traditional cache and No.14 in an occasional series.
These byways have come into being through a variety of reasons. Some are easements for drainage etc., others are walkways left in subdivisions while a few are narrow linear creek walks. Older lanes provided access for the ‘night carts’ that collected ‘night soil’ from the houses backing on to the lanes – nice euphemisms! All the byways are easily accessible by foot and some by car, although walking is recommended. Some are quite attractive while others are less appealing. The caches are all on public land. WARNING This general area is closely settled and traffic is likely at all hours of the day or night. It may be advisable to walk into the GZ rather than be muggled and have to shift your vehicle. When Eastwood was laid out this was an unnamed night-cart lane. The Burnside Council decided that the lanes should have names so they could be more easily identified and named it COBB & CO LANE in 1998. It is difficult to believe that prior to about 1870 when subdivision started, large numbers of horses were stabled and pastured in the vacant paddocks of Eastwood and Parkside for Cobb and Co and other coaching firms. Cobb and Co horse-drawn coaches ran a regular service between 1850 and 1900 for mail and passengers from Adelaide to country towns.
