SEARCHERS ... PLEASE DO NOT SEARCH AT NIGHT ... houses are sufficiently close for an after-dark search to provoke unwanted interest. .
This cache is one in a short, four-part series that takes you around the perimeter of Harro. Have you noticed that many of the newer housing developments going up on the outskirts of Sydney only have one road leading in and out. For a large part of the day this is not an issue, but at the morning and evening peak hours, as well as school starting-and ending-times it can be dastardly. I was not particularly aware of this until having to spend a few days in the northwest of Sydney … I’ll refrain from any greater specificity than that. It was a surprise because, by and large, most of our suburbs around this area are well-served … none better, I’d say, than Harro.
Helped by decent-sized main roads to receive the traffic spill when volumes are high, Harrington Park/Grove has:
two roads entering onto Camden Valley Way
two onto Oran Park Drive
two onto the Northern Rd
and two onto Dan Cleary Drive*
Sure, traffic is tight around the public school at pick up and drop-off times, but the place has been set up so that this zone can be avoided if you’re not locked into that necessity. A very “entrancing” place indeed!
* each Dan Cleary Dr entrance each provides access to a small pocket of housing, not to the entire suburb. But in both cases, the number of dwellings is small enough that one road in & out is sufficient. What’s more, if these two pockets should at some future time grow large enough to coalesce … they have their two exits already in place!
COMMENT ... For those who have some familiarity with significant historical events occurring in living memory, GZ (to me) had a distinct “grassy knoll” feel to it. Feel free to comment (especially if you’ve been there).
