The third in a series of caches celebrating the provision of parks in an industrialised area. Mullet reserve is a nice little park with equipment for the geokids. It has a trellised arch and a sandy based playground. The playground is ungated between a few roads so keep an eye on the little ones. Be sure to collect the clue for the hillsdale mystery cache. FTF may be lucky. Congrats Lonely Rooster FTF
Hillsdale was part of the suburb of Matraville until the 1960s. Matraville was originally reserved for the Church and Schools Corporation with income generated intended to support clergy and teachers. It reverted to the crown in 1917 and was allocated for a settlement for soldiers returning from World War I. The suburb was split between Randwick and Botany Councils. When problems arose from the division in 1961, Botany Council decided to rename its portion Gilmore, to honour Australian poet Dame Mary Gilmore (1864–1962). After the post masters general office pointed out that there already was a Gilmore, New South Wales, the council chose Hillsdale to honour Patrick Darcy Hills, who was the New South Wales minister for local government. It was a controversial choice since most residents believed that a name should have been chosen that reflected Australia's history. Please place cache back carefully as you found it and ensure it is secure.
