The third in our Convict Cache series along the Great North Road. After driving past this place for over 20 years we thought it about time to stop and reflect and this is what we found.
Features include a curved wall which once flanked a small bridge, handpicked gutters and rock faces, a rock cutting with the road surface cut into the bedrock, a stone lined box culvert, and a very large culvert with (partially collapsed) winged walling. This precinct was constructed in 1829-31 by the No 29 Road Party.
In 1990 some stones were stolen from the wall, and the local community united to restore the damage. It was this activity which led them to establish the Convict Trail Project.
