With the invention of the internal combustion engine and the motor vehicle our method of travelling has gotten much faster over the years. The old paths or tracks that people used became wider and smoother to accomodate these new vehicles. As the motor car became faster the curvy old roads for horses and bullock drays, that were mostly built by hand, were widened, straighten the grades reduced to allow for a swifter and safer passage. Evidence of the old roads still exist and can usually be found where there has been significant earthworks for the construction of the current roads.
The access road to this rest area was once the Main South Road that did wind it's way through Allanton. The survey to widen and straighten the road was carried out, in 1929. The existing curved Peel Street in Allanton was also part of the original alignment.
The above images show the current titled sections shaded blue over the aerial photo of GZ and the survey plan shows the old road alignment in a peach colour and the new alignments in pink, blue and yellow, cutting out the curves that followed the original contours of the land. The cache location on the plan is in the bottom left hand corner (to the left of the "Crown Land" notation.
The cache is a magnetic nano which shouldn't be too hard to find. You will need to bring your own writing implement to sign the log.
