As this is only our second cache, finding it shouldn't be too difficult. The cache is one for the kids, near a park and a great spot for a picnic. Terrain is easy as well. Enjoy!
In 1788 a herd of 4 long horn cattle and 2 bulls escaped from Government Farm at Rosehill. They were found seven years later in 1795 as a herd of 40 in a rich expanse of grassland. Later that same year Governor Hunter surveyed this region and appropriately named it "Cowpastures". Harrington Park lies within the Cowpastures region.
The pastoral industry Camden began when Governor King granted John Macarthur 2000 acres, which became known as Camden. Further land grants were handed out across the region, including Harrington Park in 1815 to Captain William Douglas Campbell.
The Davies family purchased Harrington Park from the Campbells in 1833. The Rudd family owned the property from 1902/3 to 1944 when it was sold to the Fairfax family.
It operated as a dairy in the 1920s-1930s and then, in 1946, under the Farifax family's ownership, it was operated as a poll hereford stud, nursery and dairy.
