Geocache Description:

This is the 8th in a series of 10 caches along the Eastwood County Road corridor... a real life ghost road!

The Eastwood County Road is an unbuilt road proposal stretching from Epping Road at North Ryde to Kissing Point Road at Dundas, via Eastwood. The reservation, wide enough to permit construction of a six-lane highway-standard road, was gazetted in July 1951 as part of the County of Cumberland Planning Scheme but was never constructed.

This section: From Welby Street, Edgar Street is swallowed up as the corridor continues towards a strip of vacant land on the north side of First Avenue (on the corner of Blaxland Road).

Other information: You should be able to squeeze through the gap in the fence at the Northern end, rather than having to climb over. ***Thanks to Yurt who has helped to clarify the situation with the fence (see his posts below or click here & here).*** Please replace cache exactly as it was found to prevent it from being muggled/vandalised. BYO pen.

FTF cache honours: bella at waggy & capt'n flint (joint FTF)
FTF series honours: sjamp
