What is now known as Quakers Hill (from 1905) consisted in the 1800s of four major land grants: 2,000 acres to Major West (1814); 400 acres to William Henry Allcock (1815); 695 acres to Joseph Pye (1816) and the estate of Robert Campbell.

The railway line was extended from Blacktown to Richmond in 1863, passing through the Pye property. A siding (Douglas' siding) allowed for the loading of timber from the Douglas family's sawmill. This siding later became the site of Quakers Hill Station.

Cache is located down the track a bit from the site of the old siding due to poor hide availability at the station and across the road from the police station. Can be accessed via path from the station or via Foxwood Ave or Manorhouse Blvd.

Bring a pen/pencil.
