There is absolutely no need to tread in any gardens looking for
this cache.
This is a great place to come for a BBQ and to watch the boats
come and go, or stop for a rest if you are push biking
through.
BBQ Facilities and benches provided.
Following the path east will take you to another cache named
Pier-Mont (GC1QW88), Star City and Darling Harbour.
Following west-s/west will take you to the Sydney Fish Markets
and another cache called Fishhead (GCRKMM), and it will also take
you to the base of the Anzac bridge where you can take the ramp to
walk (or ride if your keen like me) up and over the
bridge.
Please be mindful of muggles in the area, especially on
weekends.
I really like this newly developed park and bbq area, but I'm a
little disappointed I cant find more information about the original
site.
The original site was the old CSR sugar refinery.
The giant steel balls were used to mix cane juice with lime to
precipitate impurities and to stop the sucrose from decaying into
fructose and sucrose.
After resting the mixture would separate with the solids resting
on the bottom.
The balls are hollow and weigh about a tonne and a half
each.
Unfortunately thats all the information I could find about the
history of the giant balls and this site.
If you know any more, or anything more accurate, please feel
free to let me know.
