Pemulwuy Power Trail #5 Pemulwuy, New South Wales, Australia
By wraacie on 03-Sep-17. Waypoint GC7BQZP

Its been gone a while.

Large heavy grass in the area and fencing which has made it hard to get to.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Seems there has been an issue with this cache since Januari.
It would have been nice if the new CO would have taken the cache off-line for the time being, so there is no need for cachers to waste their time searching for it.

Cache check -

I believe this cache is out of order / MIA

When I attended here the other day - the grass is the over grown and due to recent snake sittings in the area, I did not feel confident going to GZ.

I have found this cache before I've adopted it. I will try again soon or relocate.

Stay tuned.

Will be checking on this asap

Pemulwuy Power Trail #5 was transferred from wraacie to user DarkAvengerx

This cache is going to be taken over by DarkAvengerx thanks for much.

I’m unable to get to this cache for a few day maybe a week so I will disable it until I can fix it thanks for your patience

This will be disabled for about a week until I’m able to get to it. Thanks. For your patience

Looked high and low

Searched the fence area, the posts and in the park area and could not find.

Look up down all around nothing!

bonkbonkbonkbonk couldn’t find it once again after 30 mins ??? ????

Easy find in obvious place. TFTC wraacie

Is that a fence, or is it a bollard?
Is that a fence, or is it a wall?
Is that a fence, sure is, but it's someone's private fence?
As I wandered around pondering bollards, fences, walls, fences I came to a sudden realisation. Widening my search from the seemingly deceptive coords I suddenly saw it! The torture of all those sticky beaks was worth it!

Cache container was damaged and the lid disintegrated, I had a spare handy so attached new container to old, I hope it holds for a while. The attachment will need to be replaced soon.

Can’t see it

Found on the 22/1/2020 with DarkAvengerx. We were unable to sign log due to water logged. It was a nice sunny day and I was taking in the views and forgot to log the find!
TFTC

Saw from previous comments that there was water damage so we couldnt find it at all.

Arrived at GZ, clue led us straight to where cache was, spied it from quite a distance.
Unfortunately couldn’t sign log, it’s completely soaked. Took photo, replaced as found.

Maintenance urgently, required on this one.

Found it. But it was water damaged which is unfortunate

My first find in years!
Thanks

Ps: couldn't sign it as it's water logged

Didn't have pen at hand. Coordinates are a bit Off. tftc

Log is soaked.

TFTC

This was a nice, fun and easy cache, unfortunately the log needs to be replaced because it’s wet

The log was too wet to sign.

Log drenched so we didn't even try to unravel/sign the log. Plenty of farmer's friends and a dead bird to boot! Tftc

TFTC with Pulloa. Very wet log!

TFTC, found with BrodyT2010! Couldnt pen log, waterlogged.

Reading previous finders logs helped as the coordinates are out a bit. The log book is soaking wet. Signed as best as we could. TFTC. 4Rods.

Ah rats - we’re not having much luck in the area tonight! Will try another one or two and hope for the best!

To celebrate the wonderful Countrykittykats birthday, we set ourselves the mad challenge of visiting 30 counties in a day. Not at all sure that it was possible, I planned and prepped and we set out hoping for the best. Only hunting for D1.5 T1.5 caches to accomodate Countrykittykats injured ankle. Low are behold after an epic day of caching, where we saw beach and city, suburbs, bush and farms. We made it! Our 30 counties found and one extra for good measure Just for an extra perk. A wonderful day out together and an adventure we won’t forget quickly! Thanks everyone for making this wonderful day possible by keeping your caches alive. TFTC

Out in the area this morning grabbing some caches. Trying the power trail today.

Nup.

Soaked. Needs maintenance. TFTC

#2403 found this cache it is very wet open the new page then there was room on the inside to scrawl my name

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the log is very wet even though it is in a ziplock bag. It smells a lot it is possible the container isn't waterproof & I think it is sitting in water. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache so close to home wraacie

Geobiking day around the Pemulwuy park. Very nice and quiet cycle way.
no smile for this one

I had time to find a few caches this morning before I had to head to the airport and home. I had some breakfast in the nearby shops then went for a walk around the power trail and associated caches. It was a bit hit and miss as a few of them were either too hard to find or were missing. Apologies for the cut and paste logs, I'll mention anything that stood out for me if I can. TFTC, Biggles.

Skyejam found this one quickly. Thanks.

Found with ozuk, sevabo, pattyab and myself on a lovely day. The log paper is damped but manage to log it. TFTH

Saturday morning caching with skyejam, ozuk and pattyab.. nice hide and thanks for leading us here

Setting out today, Ms Atalanta and I went to the western area known as Pemulwuy.
Pemulwuy was an aboriginal man born around 1750 in the area of Botany Bay in New South Wales. He is noted for his resistance to the European settlement of Australia which began with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. He is believed to have been a member of the Bidjigal (Bediagal) clan of the Eora people.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemulwuy
This was our third find for today.
TFTF

Found this while fumbling through Pemulwuy looking for caches. Fairly straightforward fine but found it and rushed forward, aware of the time. Thanks for the hide!

Almost gave up, before focusing on looking higher up and feeling around for it. New log was just dry enough to write on. Awesome cache style !

Great hiding place

Tftc

Clever hide

Very wet so couldn't write on it.

Found second attempt put dry log in original to wet but still there

wraacie I found your cache Pemulwuy Power Trail #5 on 15/7/18, 11:56 am. This is my find 2021 and find # 5 today. Yep need to widen your search area, hint helps. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Look everywhere couldn’t find

Will return another day for this one.

Yep, as with previous logs, about 10ish metres from where expected. TFTC

Find count: 281

Our first opportunity for a day of geocaching for the Hidden Creatures souvenir challenge promotion. Lovely sunny weather, good friends and some lovely grub gave us some smilies.

Geowife had a quick search at the GZ coordinates, not there, after reading a few logs she recalibrated and found something out of the ordinary.

TFTC

The following TBs and Geocoins helped with the search to find the hidden cache:
* Miniature Itsonlybarney
* GeocachingNSW 2016 Geocoin
* GeocachingNSW 2017 Geocoin
* Geocache Talk Geocoin
* Planetary Pursuit Micro Geocoin
* Geocoin Club Jan 2015 - Rescue Coin
* Geocoin Club May 2018 - Blodeuwedd
* OzGeomuster 2018 Geocoin
* Col Miner HAVOC Geocoin

Deciding I needed to pull my finger out for this year if I wanted to average one find a day coincided nicely with this lovely winter's day and the early days of the Hidden Creatures promotion. So, geoboyfriend and I decided to target some caches around Pemulway today.

Ok so a friend of mine introduced me to the app Quest-a-Game so I was momentarily side-tracked here with some awesome ants. Eventually I was back on track and managed to corner the cache however it was showing up as about 10m from the coordinates for me. Luckily as we arrived, geoboyfriend saw crzymelly heading back to her waiting car from this area!

Easy find after reading up previous logs. TFTC

One of our finds on a day of caching with geofriends for the hidden creatures challenge

A nice quick find. Tftc

As said earlier, moved a bit. Thanx

Cache nr 6 today. Found clues in previous logs. Signed the log. TFTC

In the area with Trodectus, parked nearby and walked to GZ, after short search had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We were in the area and wanted a quick and easy for the day. We parked close by and walked to GZ. With the help of the hint we soon had CIH. There is a bit of water in the hide but the log was OK. TFTC.

It had been a bit of a slow start to the morning with only 1 find from 4 so far. This was an easy find but the log was mush in the container so I wasn’t able to sign.

So hard!! Help!!

cache and log needed repairs. replaced plastic zip lock bag for list (even though list is waterproof paper) also someone has been climbing fence and had depressed the cyclone fencing making the teather to the cache obvious from meters away. I only wanted to move it one over but had to go 3 down to find a hole and a high enough bit of fence to hide the teather. if CO is unhappy let me know and I'll reset.

Fence as per hint, spied the attachment from a few metres, thanks wraccie

We took an embarrassing long while to find this. We concentrated in the wrong area for too long. Easy once we phished around in a more sensible spot. We found the log too wet to write on or even unroll. We replaced it with another blank log in a small snaplock bag. Hope this works. We'll contact the CO regarding the old log which we are drying out. TFTC

Found quickly, although the cache was completely waterlogged.

I had just gotten some brunch so was feeling refreshed to tackle a few more caches in this series. The gps didn't want to settle here at first but after walking in circles for a bit the cache was found in the logical spot. Thanks for the cache wraacie tnln replaced as found sl

Out and about on a Sat morn with karennicole and thereimer. We were pretty successful on the trail plus a couple of extra ones, but had to add a few DNF's.

Parked the car at Woolies and returned just before the 3 hour parking limit was up, including tackling 17 caches, bumping into fellow cachers and walking close to 6km.

Thanks for the series wraacie

Saturday morning caching with blundobusters and karennicole, with BB hiding many caches this one was spotted straight away. TFTC.

Family caching day with Blundo Busters and thereimer on a Saturday morning. This one was spotted by our catcher eyes as we approached. Noticed security cameras on the house next door. Thanks wraacie.

Found and logged while being attacked by ants. Looooooots if them.

In Pemulwuy in a hot Saturday for geocaching and the PPT. Nice little hide in a very noisy location. The break in the sound barriers from the highway means you can really here the motorway noise. Interesting flood control measures around here. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

A beautiful day
We've taken a nice walk in this beautiful park in Pemulwuy today and have also found this cache
Thank you for the nice round
Team sissifalke

Located at 9:56pm. Glad to log this one finally which completes for me this Power Trail. Thank you replacing and re-enabling this one Wraacie. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

This was on the fence as the clue said - but not quite what you would expect. TFTC.

This one was quickly spotted as we approached but is hopefully not too obvious. SL TFTC

One of many finds as I made my way around the lake. tftc

Cache has been replaced. Cache on.

Found where it should be hanging but cache is not there

No luck

I will be home from holidays in a few days and will fix this one. Sorry for the delay.

Cache hanging device was found but no cache. Will the CO let me log a find on this?
Cheers

Cache has been lost Arrived at GZ and found the tell tale signs of the hide. Alas...no cache at the end of it.

Spotted after short scan of the area . TFTC.

#111
The 6th of 14 finds today along the power trail. We had a great time here with our bikes. Geodad spotted it when he arrived at GZ. Great hide! TFTC!

Quick easy find
SL TFTC

This was my last cache on the Power Trail today. I've enjoyed it and will be back to complete the trail next year.
It was a short detour away from the lake to this spot. Once here there were lots of places to check and I wondered if the houses were full of muggles watching me. I checked several places before I spotted the attachment device.

I signed the log and replaced everything as quickly as possible then headed back to the lake and back to the geomobile and home to watch the Boxing Day Test. Perfect timing, I managed to make the first ball (just).

TFTC # 2290 and 5th find for the morning.

Another one down!! Thanks for the hide

Classic geocache!

#1936
Decided to give my numbers a bit of a boost to see if I can reach 2000 by the end of the year. Brought the bike with me on this boiling hot day and parked near #2. I had a bit of a hiccup to start the series, missing #1, DNFing #2 and #3 and being muggled out at #4.

Oh well, #5 is as good a number as any to start the power trail. Took a moment to get my bearings but then spotted the tell tale and soon had CIH. Getting the log out was a bit of a struggle as it was folded in half and wedged. Once I got it out of its bag it was just a bunch of loose bits of paper as the spiral is no longer attached. Picked one and signed it, before replacing.

2nd place I looked . Rest In Peace aboriginal freedom fighter. Pemulwuy. Tftc tnln

Very clever!

sneaky sneaky

Tracked over from the eastern burbs to tackle the Pemulwuy Power Trail and the three others suggested by the CO. Probably could have chosen a cooler day but for the most part I was the only one on the trail. I started at the first cache and then followed the numbers. Guessing I'm now on the security cameras. Luckily it was a quick find and run. TFTC.
