Geocache Description:

Hidden away in O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park is this small bluestone quarry.


The quarry is a source of Tapley Hill bluestone and has been used in the construction of some heritage-listed buildings in SA. Access to this quarry has been maintained in the current management plan so the stone may be strictly mined for the purpose of conserving these buildings.

The cache is in the quarry and will require a small climb. It will need to be approached from the east. There are tracks which lead to the quarry from both South Road and the Western side of the park.

A small dam does gather water at the foot of the quarry during winter.

The cache is a small Sistema container and only holds small swaps.
