History of location:
H.D. Robb Reserve is a linear reserve named after the former engineer and Willoughby Council town planner, Hugh Douglas Robb. It's setting in the upper reaches of Middle Harbour makes H.D. Robb a visually attractive reserve with spectacular panoramic views of Middle Harbour.
The reserve runs east-west and is located in the suburb of Castle Cove. It is bordered on the west by Ku-ring-gai Council and Explosives Reserve to the east.
Before European occupation, H.D. Robb Reserve was home to the Cammeraygal clan of the Aboriginal people. The steep topography combined with the sandstone geology protects numerous Aboriginal archaeological sites, making it a reserve with high cultural significance.
The Cache:
To get to the coordinates, go to the recommended starting point to enter the track onto H D Robb Reserve, this is a track which we have walked many times and yet we have never seen anyone else on it. It is a nice walk with some great views. The other entrance to this track is near the Roseville Marina, a great place to relax and to get a bite to eat.
This cache is modelled after a similar cache we found down in Kiama, it's quite a large-sized cache and can hold a few different items. 2 trackables have been placed in the cache for the FTFs. When you get to the coordinates, you may need to look in a different direction than usual to find it. To retrieve the cache, follow the rope and unhook it from the branch.
This cache took us a bit of time to make and we hope everyone enjoys.
IMPORTANT: THERE IS NO NEED TO UNTIE ANY KNOTS WHEN ATTEMPTING THIS CACHE
