Geocache Description:


We are fortunate to live in a city that is full of buildings and features of historical significance - and has enough money in the local economy for interpretive signage to tell their history.

I think it's always important to reflect on the heritage of the city, and in doing so, have a "did you know" up one's sleeve.

Otherwise, these landmarks might be overlooked in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

This cache acknowledges the important role this piece of infrastructure has played in the past 100-odd years supporting expansion of the city's northwest. It is set back off the main road and is easily missed, despite it's impressive size

The cache is accessed off Victoria Road.
I recommend taking a quick transfer out of a public transport trip (200m from West Ryde bus stop, 300m from West Ryde Station).
There is also a dedicated loop driveway, if heading West on Victoria Road.
The cache is on public land, but frequently used by muggles for upkeep so exercise caution.
