Geocache Description:

A park and grab with a bit of history behind it. BYO Pen! 


History:

From the 1850s onwards, the track along The Bull Ridge became the main thoroughfare for the droving of the stock from Sackville to Richmond and beyond. In those days the tracks tended to follow the ridges. It is suggested that The Bull Ridge earned its name and reputation as a stock route. 

In the early 1900s, as the population of the Bull Ridge grew the settlers marked out roads and tracks to serve their needs. Tracks were cut to give each portion access to the nearest source of water. Some of the public roads today are constructed along early tracks leading from the ridge down to Howe's, Buttsworth's or Robert's creek. 

The Cache:

This one won't be any issue to find whatsoever, just have a peak the other side of the guard rail.

Just make sure you BYO pen and even an extra one (even though every good geocacher would anyway).

Parking can be found across the road from the GZ or down the road a little.

As always be aware when crossing the road, this one can be surprisingly busy even in the middle of the day.
