Geocache Description:

Please put everything back as you find it. 

WP1 is within public view, so you will need some stealth and make sure you perform the necessary obscuring after you have finished with it. Please make sure you do this, as we have had WP1 go missing previously, possibly muggled.

The final cache container is fixed and you’ll need the last clue for extraction.  Best parking can be found in Bloomsbury Ave – but not on Tuesdays during the day.

A bit more pleasant in the morning, you'll need a bit of time for this cache and your thinking cap.  This is the hardest hide my Dad and I have created so far.  We had heaps of fun putting the clues together and stepping back in time to where it is hidden, in a far away, unknown land.

I hope you enjoy stepping back in time along this journey of discovery as much as I did.

Be Warned.........
 
 
This cache is a micro and you will need sharp eyes and 2 litres of water. This cache has a logbook and no pens so it is encouraged that you bring your own, because you don’t want to get all this way to find the cache and have no pen .

You will have to have your hiking boots on and be ready for the cache of your life.

Significance of Cache:

We put this cache here to show the world a little known bush walk that would surprise most people in the area - a great place for a Cache!


History:

This land was originally inhabited by the Guringai group of aborigines.   They occupied the area from Broken Bay in the north to Sydney harbour in the south.  Tragically by 1790, 2 years after seeing the first white people, half of them were wiped out by smallpox.
 
This reserve is made of two lots first granted in 1821 to Henry Henry and his co-settler William Lysett.  The land was heavily logged at the time for Black Butt, Blue Gum, Red Mahogany, Red Bloodwood and Turpentine.  Overtime the land was gradually cleared and turned into orchards.
 
In 1900 Joseph Hammond (who the reserve is named after) built a house on the land using the stone found there.  He also built an abattoir, which sold meat to the Chatswood butcher shop that had been running since 1868.  Hammond had sheep, cattle and pigs.  The abattoir was closed in 1932 and the commonwealth took over most of the land for use as an army depot.
Hammond butcher shops continued to operate in Chatswood and Roseville till the 1980’s.
