Where
At the end of Starkey Street is a grass reserve beyond which is Garigal national park. After you reach the end of the street, go left and when you get to a rocky part of the grass, to the right you should see an opening. The cache is just within the national park boundary. The placement of this cache has been approved by DECCW; this consent is valid to 10/12/21.
Animals
Garigal is part of an important wildlife corridor that spans all the way from Sydney Harbour to the national parks of the Blue Mountains. It's the natural habitat for a number of threatened native animal species, such as tiger quolls, broad-headed snakes and red-crowned toadlets, so keep your eyes peeled.
Context
This is a nice quiet reserve and the tracks here lead to cool views over Bantry Bay. If you walk on from the cache you can get to a labyrinth of narrow paths with stick walls and you can reach trees to climb, views to see and nature to explore.
History
The Guringai people have been custodians of the land in Garigal National Park for thousands of years and this connection and legacy is evident throughout the park. Garigal has extensive Aboriginal art sites, with over 100 Aboriginal sites recorded to date, including cave art, rock engravings, shelters, middens and grinding grooves.
