Geocache Description:

This cache is the first of a series of four caches on the former Royal National Park Line. It is hidden near the railway crossing with the Princes Highway.

This cache is close to a busy road with a bicycle path next to it. Don't get onto the road and give bicycles space so they don't need to get onto the road.

This cache is approved by the NSW Environment and Heritage, until 30 June 2015. See http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/ for more details.


The route of this group of caches brings you over the Royal National Park Line which was a railway from Loftus to the National Park Station between 1886 - 1991.

On Wednesday and Sunday, the Sydney Tram Museum currently runs an electric tram between Loftus and the old Royal National Park station. The trip goes from the museum over the Princes Highway past this railway crossing and two sheds and then to the old railway station platform. See http://www.sydneytramwaymuseum.com.au/ for more details on the tram museum.

When you are here, pay attention to the old electricity box: There are a certain number of columns for the connectors in there (A). There is also an old green telephone box with close to it a sleeper with a number (BCDE). This information is needed for the fourth cache in this series.

Did you know that NSW has a geocaching association? Geocaching NSW aims to enhance and improve the activity of geocaching and holds regular events where geocachers meet to enjoy their common interests. Visit the association website here.
