The surburb of Rhodes is bissected by Homebush Bay Drive. Until
recently, most of the western side of Rhodes was industrial, home
to Allied Feeds and Union Carbide.
As part of the Sydney 2000 Olympic bid, the NSW Government
promised to clean this region of the 'nasty' chemical left in the
soil, which leach into Homebush Bay. This work is expected to be
completed in 2008. See:

In the past few years some of the land has been turned into a
shopping centre and a host of apartments and offices.
You may wish to attempt this cache while you are visting the
shopping centre or enjoying the mangroves and parkland in nearby
Bicenntenial Park.
Although the path to the cache is wheelchair friendly, the last
few metres require a small scramble (keep the geokids on a leash to
ensure they don't fall in).
