I have found large empty spot on the map during my stay at Mt Colah. I thought this location deserves cache.
Mount Colah is 5 km north of Hornsby, the nearest major town centre. Considered one of Sydney's leafier suburbs, streets are clustered around the Pacific Highway. Mount Colah is bordered to the east by the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
Mount Colah was originally known as Colah - the name first used by naturalist George Caley to describe a koala in a letter to botanist Sir Joseph Banks. When Hornsby became a shire in 1906 the name was changed to Mount Colah. Colah Post Office opened on 29 September 1905 and was renamed Mount Colah in 1906 Some World War II building remnants are still visible nearby.
Street names in the most northern part of Mount Colah are associated with the Arthurian Legend such as: Sprigg Place, Arthurs Circle, Merlin Close, Excelsior Road, Round Table Close, Excalibur Close, Galahad Close, Lancelot Street and Camelot Close.
Nearby the streets are named for flora, such as Foxglove Road, which was named for the flowers that were once grown in the area.
I hope someone else will create new cache in this area where is popular sporting:
*Mount Colah Football Club-was founded in 1958 and has over 500 soccer players playing in the Ku-ring-gai and District Soccer Association (KDSA).
*Mount Colah Cricket Club known as The Mustangs are the local cricket team with cricket pitches at all the three playing fields.
*Athletics is played at Foxglove Oval with it being the base for the Northern Districts Little Athletics during the summer.
*Cycling is a popular activity with Mount Colah being on a popular cycling route which includes Ku-ring-gai Chase Road and cycle lanes on the Pacific Highway. The Bush to Bridge is a a commuter club which cycles from Mount Colah to the City.

Máme tu aj preklad pre Slovákov a im rozumejúcim národom:
Počas mojho pobytu v Mt.Colah som našiel velke, prazdne miesto na mape. Myslim si, že aj táto lokalita si zaslúži svoju cache.
Cache mala byť umiestnena v lokalite, kde by v krátkej dobe mal vyrást park s oddychovou zonou, ale Austrália nie je Europa a preto umiestňujem cache na inom mieste-v dedine.
Mount Colah leží 5 km severne od Hornsby. Mount Colah je bohatá na zeleň, jej ulice sú natlačené popri Pacific Highway. Na východe hraničí s Národným Parkom Ku-ring-gai.
Obec Mount Colah bola pôvodne nazývaná "Colah" – názov, ktorý bol prvýkrát použitý prírodovedcom Georgeom Caleym pri popisovaní koaly v liste botanikovi Joesephovi Banksovi. Keď sa v roku 1906 stalo Hornsby krajským mestom, bol názov zmenený na Mount Colah (vrch Colah).
Nachádzajú sa tu aj stavby z druhej svetovej vojny.
Niektoré názvy ulíc sú odvodené z legendy o kraľovi Arthurovi ako napríklad Merlinova ulica, Lancelotova ulica, ulica Okrúhleho stola alebo Arthurov okruhly stol. Ine uličky zas majú pomenovanie podla kvetin.
Šport je dost rozšírený a populárny v tejto oblasti. Možno niekto iný tejto teme založí ďalšiu cache a zahustí aj túto oblast:
*Mount Colah Football Club-zaciatky sa tradujú od roku 1958 a vyhoval viac ako 500 hráčov v Ku-ring-gai a pre futbalovú asociáciu (KDSA).
*Mount Colah Cricket Club -známy ako Mustangy
*Atletika
*Cyklistika je veľmi populárna. Cez Ku-ring-gai Vedie cyklistická cesta.
