Description

Geocaching takes you to many interesting places this series of Virtual caches will take you to lunch camping spots.

Over the years; caching has brought me to many interesting places which in turn many top camping / lunch spots. The BIG problem is many had traditional caches & for many reasons they have been archived. So, my idea is to make them Virtual caches on the Australian geocaching site so people can enjoy them also & there isn’t any cache maintenance issues to be had into the future.

You can drive this section of the Old Great North Road with a soft roader (4wd preferred). There is a side track off the main track - coordinates are - S33° 09.344' E151° 05.972'. this will lead you to GZ camp spot / lunch – morning tea spot. This track is 4WD only. GZ is a nice cleared flat area with its own fire pit area (some rocks around it)

The Great North Road Convict Trail, surveyed in 1825 and completed in 1836, was constructed using convict labour. Up to 720 convicts - some in chains - worked on the road, which spanned 264 kilometre, connecting Sydney to the settlements of the Hunter Valley. It features spectacular and beautifully preserved examples of stonework, including buttresses, culverts, bridges and twelve-metre high retaining walls. Only 43 kilometres of the road remains undeveloped and relatively intact. Running through and alongside Dharug National Park and Yengo National Park, this section has been named the Old Great North Road. It goes from Wisemans Ferry in the south to Mount Manning (near Bucketty) in the north, and includes the oldest surviving stone bridges in mainland Australia. The road is closed to motor vehicles but makes a great walk over two or three days - or an exhilarating day's cycle.

All you need to do to log this Virtual is take a photo or photos of your stay / visit & 1 of them with your GPS in it
