A cache located in Katandra Reserve.
The name Katandra is an aboriginal word meaning "Song of Birds".
The 232 ha reserve is located to the north-east of Rumbalara Reserve and contains one of the largest rainforest remnants left in the city. The Reserve has two areas of interest, St John's Lookout is located on Toomeys Rd via Tapley Rd and the Ridgeway, Lisarow. The gully rainforest is below St John's Lookout and is accessed from the Matcham Valley, along Wattle Tree Rd into Katandra Rd, Holgate. Car parking and picnic facilities are available at both sites.
The area was cleared for farming in the early 1900's. A natural creek was dammed for the farm water supply, this is now known as Seymour Pond. The land on the southern side of Seymour Pond was used to grow vegetables for the Sydney market.
The cache is located along Toomeys Walk between St Johns Lookout to Katandra Reserve at Holgate.
