I had so much fun putting together hides 1-10 on Narellan Road, I decided that I should extend the series so that everyone could get out on their bikes and enjoy some fresh air and a few caches along the way! All caches are small with no room for anything other than the log and all require BYOP.
This trail is somewhat longer than 1-10, and some are a little further apart as well. But they are all placed on very busy roads, but on bike paths, which also requires some side streets to be crossed. It is a circuit though, and is about 15k in total and takes in Narellan, Harrington Park and Oran Park, and there is an opportunity for a coffee break a little over half way if you so desire!
You’re now passing a parcel of land known as Harrington Forest, that passes from this point right across to the Northern Road. I can only imagine that it may be intended as a kind of wildlife corridor, but having been within many parts of it, I’m not so sure of its effectiveness.
You’re now about to head in to Oran Park, and the road you’re currently beside is Oran Park Drive. Although the original track no longer exists of course, a few of the original areas have been remembered where it was appropriate, and many of the streets have been named after important people involved in the history of the race car track that once occupied this land. I can recall many instances whilst at St Gregory’s, hearing the cars practicing on the circuit.
But of course, these days, it’s very much a suburban metropolis, or at least, its trying to be.
