Mashman Park Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia
By jimmijames73 on 09-Nov-12. Waypoint GC3Z3FP

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Pretty dumb to look for it after so many DFNs logged but it's on the way home. Lovely park with a smashed ice pipe, littered with empty booze bottles and a homeless camp in the garden.

No action after many dnfs and a NM, it may need to be archived.

Ditto

Searched and searched but no such luck. Like others I found something magnetic but was not the golden ticket I was hoping for. This obviously needs a lot of maintenance after reading previous logs.

Found something magnetic, but no cache. It was nice to sit in the sun and listen to the fountain for a little while.

Had a good look for this one but no cache found. I did find something magnetic at GZ but it was not the cache. The cache is either very well hidden or, as I suspect, it's gone. Nice interesting little park regardless.

This cache appears to be in need of some TLC, next stop a needs archived log?

Not sure whether we found it. We did find something that was magnetic. Not obviously a cache though.

Is it there ? Scoured every bit of metal in park

Thought i checked every metal nook and cranny. NUP! next time..

Nope jimmiejames73
Like rainbowspirit this cache was either too well hidden or it had vanished as the previous log says
Thx anyhow, first time in this park

Could you pls check if your cache is still there?
Many thx

Ttfc. I couldn't reach it, but can see it. Appears to have fallen off and I'm not able to get to it. Needs maintenance.

The first DNF for this cache! Oh the shame.....We looked in the only two places that fitted the hint, mmmm, oh well.

Nice quick find once people cleared off, surprised how busy this park is.

Good find. Boost confidence.

Tftc! It's relatively obvious where to find it. The package should be replaced, it's a little worn

We found it!!!
SL. The log book needs a bit of maintenance though. TFTC!

Needs maintenance. Good for a first find. SL. TFTC

Geocache #2 for me! Yay!
First for the Geodogs!!!

The hint helped a lot. The logbook needs to be replaced.

TFTC jimmijames73! I've driven by this park so many times. It was nice to have an excuse to stop! [;-)]

A quick slight detour to grab this one on the way back to Canberra. Had the boss and another colleague in the car but no pen........ oh crap.........

I will be back up this way soon with work so I will make it priority to swing in and scribble on the log.

Thanks for the cache jimmijames73

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Awesome

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Here with Joey and too many cockroaches. Too scary so ran away quickly! Not found and wont be back

Thanks. Team alohaannie!

Good find. Need new log.SL TFTH TFTH

Found with Mystic Seer

May need to be maintained. Cool cache though

Simple but clever! Yeh there are lots of cockroaches.

14.1.14 lucky day for some. Great park and enjoyed my lunch break in the sun. Log damp but still usable. Tftc

Found it eventually TFTC

Found after a quick visit to the RTA - though it's now called Service NSW? Quick find as there were limited hiding spots available; was a bit exposed and thought it may have crept, but replaced as found. TFTC!

Log is mush and really jammed into container. Please replace, thanks!

Nice. May need some maintenance cause it's wet

Jay and I found loads of cockroaches... But got there in the end!

My geocache virginity.

Have been past this little oasis many times and wondered if there was a cache here. I had occasion to check the other day as I was going to be in the area, to find there is one! Found while out on a morning walk at 0615 just as two elderly joggers arrived to do laps around the park. I was lucky in the timing!
Just to let you know Jimmie James, the log sheet probably needs replacing as it's torn and moisture affected. Thanks for bringing me here this morning.
Cheers

Quick and easy find at a time when location was muggle free. Log probably at point of needing replacement. TFTC

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"

Found it! Good spot!

Awesome spot and a fun hunt!

Had to wait for a few picnickers to move on, but fairly easy to find. Tftc.

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Found it!

Being in Chatwood for some shopping I also took a stroll to Mashman Park for this cache. A Chinese guy was sitting on a nearby bench talking on his phone, so I deployed stealth mode and using my camera back as a nice tool for blocking his view I grabbed the cache.
Good hide. TFTC and greetings from the Netherlands.

Dad found it! 4 little helpers...

Cool I had so much trouble finding it but me and my friend spotted a small container and I saw the log but I really wish I can keep it but I said no to my self because it is a challenge to other people and I an looking to see if someone can find it (the prize is hard)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely park.

The second of four caches found with the geo-son after attending a Sunday afternoon school band concert at Chatswood. Two possible spots to hide the cache and the geo-son was able to hop into the foilage at both spots without attracting any undue attention from passing muggles. We didn't sign the log as it was too tightly packed in and a little moist. A very interesting history to this spot. Many thanks jimmijames73

#96 (4 of 6 today)

Fairly simple find - except for the muggles near GZ. Some left quickly, others - well I went & got a drink at a nearby shop to take back to the park.
Managed to grab the cache & spirit it away to a secluded bench.
Luckily, everyone was gone when I went to replace the cache, so all good.

The log barely fits in the container, and is getting torn. I had difficulty removing it from the cache container.

We had family friends called the Mashmans when I was growing up. Wonder if they're related to the ones the park was named after?

A quick find with no muggles about today. Log is getting very tatty from being crammed back into the cache. TFTC.

Found it after my GPS settled down. Log too tatty to remove container - did not / could not sign cache. TFTC.

Stuck on you

Sweet fine.
Big love from Lmacc

Did not know that such a lovely park existed on the busy road. Nice quick find. Logbook a bit tatty!

Nice cache clever idea! Very hard to get out and in pretty poor conditon.
Tftc

Took a while to find for such a simple cache.

Found, and you can sit there and look not too suspicious while you search! Left a calling card with a stamp from the Australian Antarctic Survey (1980's ish I think). SL TFTC.

At last found one in Australia!!!

Great hiding spot never would have thaught it would be there

On holiday in the area. Had a quick look and another good find today.

Easy find after a muggle left TFTC

Didn't know this park existed. Found the cache with the spot on co ordinates. Thanks Jimmijames for bring me here.
Cheers

Nice and quick on the way to the shops. Makes me wonder why I couldn't find it last time

2013-06-15 0042 Fascinating history here. An urban treasure. Quick find with only cars on Vic Ave to worry about (no muggles in the park itself at that time). First of four caches on a Chatswood circuit.

Well I never..... Along a road much travelled, a quiet, secret garden of a park. Pretty and tranquil. Rippling fountain and potting history. Cache should have been more speedily retrieved but serenity demanded time was spent. Thanks for chance to simply reflect.

Last of three caches I found on an early morning walkabout today. GPS pointed me to the right place but I had to wait a bit to retrieve the cache as a muggle had decided to examine the park's central feature for some time. TFTC, Biggles.

This is actually quite close to the office, but I usually don't have time to think about it when driving to or from the office, plus there can be parking issues during the week. Today however we caught the train to Chatswood for a mother's day thing in the units behind this park. So it was easy to stop before rounding the corner. The iPhone initially led me to the wrong side, well really it wanted us in the middle so it was in the 2nd spot checked. The local sushi workers were playing soccer to fill in some time around the corner but out of sight of GZ. Thanks jimmijames73.

Nice park TFTC

Took a stroll after doing some shopping to this cache. Searched in the wrong places first then located it easily.. T4TC

nice cache, great location

Well hidden, enjoyed finding it

Daddy couldn't find this without me

A wonderful ceramic park to visit.
I spent a bit of time with HannahBandana walking around looking at all the tiles before having a search for the cache.
Thanks jimmijames for the opportunity to visit a neat little park.

Found today. Cute little park, Thanks for the cache!

I took my mother (E Rabbit Esq) out for an afternoon's geocaching.

Saw the Cache Me If You Can TB here and had to make a visit. ERE was none the wiser.

A bit of muggle activity meant stealth was required. I warned ERB accordingly. I fiddled discretely near a likely target whilst ERE searched elsewhere.

"OOOHHHH!!!!", she says, not so discretely, as she pulls out the goods. I sigh, and she (to her credit) says "Sorry, it's just that it's the first time I've found it before you". Gotta love her!!!

We signed the log, I took the CUIYC TB, and we were off.

A bit of an early morning trip while the place is pargely muggle free as it had a travel bugs we wanted plus on the way we picked up some more travel bugs from the same serries to swap. A short search and we had the goods in hand. The travel bug and log were a tight fit. We completed the signing duties, dropped in Cache us if you can travel bug number 4 and then re hid. TFTC

I found this one with my son, Tyreless.

I have never been to this park before. I remember when it was a pottery factory - Royal Dalton as I recall. The park has been really well done, using old pottery in the fountain and sculptures to make the link with the past.

Thanks for bringing me here. SL TFTC

I walked here from Chatswood station on a humid afternoon, having left work a bit early due to the impending Easter long weekend. I got to the attractive little park, and had a little look around before focusing on the task. I quickly honed in on the right object and soon had CIH, from which I TNLNSL. Thanks!

Having to drive right past on a work-related journey, Mr Ozjeeper took a few minutes off his schedule to locate this well-placed cache. The park decor fittingly acknowledges the former Brickworks role. of this site.

Had to think a little before zeroing in on a neat hide.

29th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. TFTC jimmijames73.

This was found on our "Hurry up and get pprass to 9,999 caches" caching weekend. They are celebrating at an event in April so better be there before then!
Thanks for the cache
Cheers from Browngang.

Found at 12:26 PM on our "Get to 9,999 cache finds before the Myriads and Milestones event on 21 April" with Browngang. This was a GAFF5 find.
What a fantastic park. Don't mind looking for micro's in parks like this one.
Thanks jimmijames73.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Found this cleverly hidden geocache and a trackable inside from Washington USA! Can't wait to send it on its way...

Lots of muggles on a Thursday night but had a friend to create diversion.!

Finally someone put a cache in this lovely park

I found this last Sunday and forgot to log it. This is a beautiful park and the hardest thing about this cache is getting the logbook out of the container!
