Geocache Description:


Highest Gum Can in Carss Park

Here is some history on the area from Georges River Council:

The area now known as Carss Bush Park was originally part of Jonathon Croft's land which was purchased from the Crown in 1854.
 
The land changed hands several times before it was purchased by William Carss, a cabinetmaker from Scotland, in 1863. William Carss chose to construct his house in the park, which today is known as Carss Cottage. William Carss died in 1878 and the land remained in his family until 1916 before it was passed on to the Sydney Sailors.

Kogarah Municipal Council purchased the Estate in 1923 and reserved part of the land as parkland and subdivided the remaining land into building blocks. Carss Cottage was converted into a historical museum which is now leased to the Kogarah Historical Society.

The cache:

The cache is a gum can (obviously) tied to a nub of a tree, problem is, its far out! You will need to get your pants dirty from all the bark! Good luck!
