Just off Stones Road is Port Erringhi Road which leads down to what was known as Port Erringhi. A modern pleasure spot with golf course, water-ski facilities and caravan park, it was named in commemoration of the SS Erringhi which was on the most successful steamships to work on the Hawkesbury. In more recent years the name changed to the Hawkesbury Waters Leisure Park.

John Turnbull, one the Coromandel settlers, was granted land here in 1804. Concealed behind the new houses on the left and at the end of Port Erringhi Road overlooking the golf course, still stands Turnbull’s historic house which was built circa 1820s.

The fertile floodplains of the Hawkesbury are ideal for growing fresh produce as you may have seen on your travels around Ebenezer. Swallow Rock Organics and Melanda Park Free Range Pork located not too far away from the cache location are no exception, supplying Sydney restaurants with some of the best quality produce available.

For the EG-Q#25: Final Puzzle,what is the six digit number on the sign at the end of the road.

Note: Bring your own pen/pencil to sign the log.
