Geocache Description:

A nice easy park and grab cache.

History: Emu Heights is located on the western bank of the Nepean River, north of Emu Plains. The suburb is bounded by the railway line to the south and the escarpment of the Blue Mountains to the west. The eastern boundary is Russell Street and the river. The suburb is dissected in the south by the historic Old Bathurst Road. Emu Heights once formed part of the convict agricultural station in 1819 and was part of the subsequent dedication in the 1830s of a town reserve. The northern half of the suburb is historically associated with the Crown grants of 400 acres made to George Innes in 1831 and grant of 50 acres made to William Bowman. The subsequent history of the suburb is characterized by the development of small farms, although attempts at residential subdivision were made in 1885 (Bogie’s Farm) and the 1930s (Nepean River Estate). The Nepean River Estate is an interesting inter-war example of garden suburb development. You can find the nearby roads Balaclava and Inkerman named after battles in the Crimean War.

The Cache: A small sistema container suitable for small swaps. Should be quite an easy find. Please replace the camo how you found it. Also worth mentioning is that the park nearby is a one of Penrith City Councils four designated off-lead areas.
