Geocache Description:

Scenic views over the Hawkesbury River from this rocky outcrop

An interesting trek up this long abandoned convict built road, commenced in 1826 and abandoned 2 years later. Enjoy the history of the area as you marvel at the lack of planning in building a road that will only be used for 2 years, before being replaced with a better road not far away.

Have a break near where the cache is hidden and marvel at the wonderful views over the Hawkesbury to Wisemans Ferry and down the McDonald River.

When you find this cache take the time to read the history of this area in the enclosed brochure.
