This cache is located in Wadim (Bill) Jegorow Reserve not on private property. Please be considerate to neighbours and report any DNFs.
Opened in March 1980 the Wadim (Bill) Jegorow Reserve is named (unsurprisingly) for Wadim Jegorow, AM, MBE (1937-2006).
Born in 1937 in Vilna, Poland to Russian parents Bill's family came to Australia in 1951. Educated at Homebush Boys' High School and Sydney University Wadim held many positions throughout his career including NSW Prisons parol officer, social worker, barrister, public servant, magistrate in Hong Kong, president of the Haberfield branch of the ALP, and alderman and deputy mayor of Ashfield Municipal Council.
Bill served on numerous governmental and community committees which related to ethnic affairs and community welfare and was a founding member of the Australian Psychological Society.
The park itself is a quiet little patch of grass and trees sandwiched between the canal that divides Haberfield from Five Dock and the backyards of houses on Wolseley Street.
The park once contained an awesome set of kids play equipment that was dangerous enough to give an OH&S officer a heart attack and a private tennis court owned by the houses that backed onto it which was removed in the mid to late 80s.
