This is a simple traditional cache and No.17 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.
This lane is named after Otto Von Rieben who made a fortune at Broken Hill and then retired to Attunga on Kensington Road which he bequeathed to the Burnside Council on his death 1949.
In 1944 he transferred Attunga to the Council subject to the permanent preservation of the garden and house ‘in the form of a nursing home’. From this gift evolved the Burnside Memorial Hospital with the garden remaining a public reserve.
Please replace the cache as you found it.
