Geocache Description:

Since moving to Summer Hill 2 years ago, i've always waited for someone to place a geocache in this lovely little suburb of Sydney's inner west. This mini- self guided geocache tour will take you to two of Summer Hills most well known locations, as well as a smaller often forgotten refuge.


This is a 3 stage multi, which begins at the former (but never to be forgotten) site of "The Rio" Milkbar, a Summer Hill institution since the 1950's. The shops owner, George "The General", has been commemorated on a plaque at the site. You will need to use info from the plaque to be able to make your way to Stage 2.

At Stage 2 you will use some features of the area to find the coordinates for the final stage.

The cache contains a pencil, log and space for small swaps

After finishing this cache there's some great spots to have a delicious snack or craft beer in Summer Hill. Hope you enjoy it!

               E151 08.DEF
