The purpose of this little geocache is to introduce you to a nice fire trail that leads into areas of the Elouera Bushland, part of Berowra Valley Regional Park, not far from Tunks Creek and Tunks Trig.
You can park anywhere around the end of Mitchell Road without any difficulties.
The fire trail leads for several kilometres into the bush. You'll need sharp eyes (or GPS coordinates) to spot the old trig to the right of the trail, but the communications tower will certainly be unmistakable.
I've hidden the cache at the very end Mitchell Road -- not on the fire trail itself.
There's no need to enter into the bush. The placement is designed to minimise environmental damage.
Enjoy your walk!
Notes:
"Elouera Bushland Natural Park was a bushland reserve in the south of Berowra Valley in Hornsby Shire, which is now incorporated into Berowra Valley Regional Park. Elouera is an Aboriginal word meaning 'fine view' or 'beautiful place'. There is significant evidence of long-term Aboriginal occupation of the area. These were probably Dharug people – their local tribal name was recorded in the 1890s as 'Benowie', a name which has been used for the Berowra Valley walking track. Twenty Aboriginal sites have been recorded in the boundaries of the park, including rock carvings, cave paintings, axe grindings, a water channel, and a rock shelter. Elouera Bushland Natural Park was created in 1964, based on an existing reserve. The Park comprised some 640 hectares, centred on the upper reach of Berowra Creek, known as Fishponds Creek or Thornleigh Creek. In 1967 Dr Joyce Vickery, a local botanist, donated over 40 hectares to the park. In 1987 the park was incorporated into the larger Berowra Valley Regional Park."
