Geocache Description:

This is the 9th (and my personal favourite) 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 Blaxland Road along First Avenue, the reservation crosses the Northern Line railway overpass and connects First Avenue with Rutledge Street. A strip of land four metres deep in the grounds of Eastwood Primary School was gazetted as part of the reservation. Along Rutledge Street, Ryde Council has imposed building restrictions on properties abutting the northern side of the road to enable land to be left vacant for future construction of the County Road. At the corner of Rutledge Street and Brush Road, the corridor continues west across a steep gully located between Lambert Park and Brush Farm Park (this is where the cache is located).

Other information: Please replace cache exactly as it was found to prevent it from being muggled/vandalised. BYO pen. This site also presents a good opportunity to practise CITO (Cache In Trash Out), so please bring a rubbish bag and help save our environment :)
