Geocache Description:


Taken from North Sydney Council
 
“HISTORY
Aboriginal people would have frequented the bushland of
this area and the fresh water creek that once ran through
this bushland. A small open section of this creek is still
present through Bridge End and the remaining section
now lies underground.
The deep harbour frontages of Balls Head Bay and Oyster
Cove promised a great industrial future for the North
Shore. It is believed that it would one day rival places such
as Darling Harbour on the south side for maritime industry
and shipping. One of North Sydney’s earliest industries, a
sugar refinery, was established on the foreshores of
Oyster Cove in the 1850s; this was later converted to a
kerosene works in the 1860s. The buildings were reused
in 1917 as part of the Oyster Cove Gas Works which
operated from the site (now a residential development)
until 1983. Only a sample of the original buildings remain
and are now incorporated into this development.

Badangi Reserve Bushland also formed part of the Berry
Estate in the early years of settlement. Tryon Avenue was
named after Sir George Tryon, Rear Admiral of the Royal
Navy between 1884 -1887 and the first admiral to occupy
Admiralty House, Kirribilli.
The Badangi Reserve (formally known as Tryon Avenue)
Bushcare Group was formed in 1993 and along with
North Sydney Council, has been responsible for weeding
and maintaining this bushland.”
This cache is located off the walking track up the rocky hill close to the fence line. It is in a 1 litre container entry from Shirley road is the easiest and closest.
