Following World War 2, the Department of Main Roads immediately began an extensive upgrade of the Pacific Highway between Raleigh and Coffs Harbour, including several deviations and the provision of a bitumen surface. Included in this work was a deviation around the village of Repton, which would shorten the length of the highway by 1km and improve its flood immunity. This deviation was opened in June 1950 and replaced the route of the highway, along what is now Mylestom Drive, Repton Rd, Old Coast Rd and Overhead Bridge Rd, which had poor alignment and steep grades, especially on the climb from the banks of the Bellinger River into Repton.
The cache is located near where the Old Pacific Highway joins Pine Creek Way at the Entrance to the Bongil Bongil National Park
Cache is a clear bison tube
Hope you enjoy some of the scenery on this trail.
