Geocache Description:


Observatory Hill is the highest point of the city. From here, some 44 metres above sea level, you can see across to the north side of the harbour and an unusual view of the Harbour Bridge. To the west spanning from Pyrmont to Glebe Island is a spectacular view of the Anzac Bridge, undoubtedly an icon of the 21st century and the latest monument to grace Sydney’s skyline. Sydney's Observatory Hill is a very peaceful and secluded area.
Historic Sydney Observatory is a spectacular site of great importance in astronomy and history. It was built on Observatory Hill at the Rocks in 1858. Back then, little was known of the southern skies which is why the observatory was built here. Now however, it is just a working museum. There is a video room for watching programs on astronomy and space in general. There are also models and various displays to interact with. Now Observatory Hill has an added attraction in the way of a "Multi-Stage Cache" I hope you'll enjoy!
