Description
A cache on the northern section of the pipeline track power trail. (PTPT for short)
This part of the series has not be as popular as the main series, with few people adding to the series at this end. So to keep the series moving I have placed my third cache note trail.
This cache is about 100 metres from the gc cache "happy valentines day". It is specifically here to highlight a wall that must have been placed by the path builders (I assume this given the amount of moss. Please please be careful not to damage the wall. I have given very specific hints due to the poor gps reception due to trees and to protect the wall. Note that the area was obviously walked on quite often before the cache was placed, The trail to the cache is not made by geocachers.
Finally this cache is a bit larger than the normal PTPT hides

A quick find today. Really enjoyed the short walk we took to GZ grabbing a couple of caches. Looking forward to completing this section of the track hopefully next weekend

The geopup and I had a great day exploring the lower section of the PTPT today with Eeepees and AlbyDangles. We used the hint for this one and it was spot on. Thanks for the cache, this is a great trail.

Hi Budgietas, thanks for the cache, this being only my 2nd GCA cache, whilst out on the pipeline track in the most excellent company of AlbyDangles, Lil Rafa and geoDog, and my younger ep.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Oh dear we are really getting slack. Took all morning to make a decision of where we were going caching today. Finally a decision was made that Mr Felix would try to complete the PTPT trail and Mrs Felix would go shopping.
Well TomTom took us the long way and it was after 1pm before Mr Felix was on his bike!
Several DNF's today but not too hot not too cold made the cycling fun. Only took about 2 hours to do this section.

Another GCA PTPT cache and in a top spot too. The helpful hint meant no stone was turned (well, just one or two). We were serenaded by a dog barking in the nearby property as we did our stuff. Then we had to look "casual" as a couple of muggles appeared from around the corner. Why would someone choose to lean nonchalantly against a tree a metre up from the track? Thanks Budgietas.
Located safe and sound, and it was a really good idea to have a detailed hint for this one to avoid disturbing the wall 
Thanks for the cache, Budgietas !
Thanks for the cache, Budgietas !
Looking for some GCA caches today to gain some dragon zone points and this was on our target list. A quick find with the aid of the very detailed hint. TFTC
Easy find in between a LOT of muggles, goodness but that track is busy on a Sunday morning! TFTC
Another mild winters day had us back on the mountain and this end of the PTPT trail.
The cache was located very quickly thanks to the very clear and concise hint.
That is the type of hint I like!

I went for a jog and collected a few on the way back. I didn't like to stop too long at any cache, because it didn't take very long to get COLD, so I was pleased that the good hint led to a quick find. (I'm not sure why I went behind the wall to find it though). It was nice to find a comparitively LARGE cache. Thnaks budgie.
I parked the motorbike very close to PTPT Bumblebee and walked South along the Pipeline Track. The GPS wouldn't settle down here, but the hint was very helpful in finding the cache.
Found whilst out caching along the Pipeline Track. Going to hide some more PTPT caches soon....
Thanks Budgie
Thanks Budgie
Strolled along the track from PTPT BumbleBee. GPS didn't quite know where it was going for a minute as it headed straight past GZ but I had stern words with it and it headed us in the right direction. Cache was in the first place Swampy looked. Thanks for the cache
After a work BBQ at the Waterworks, I took a slight detour home and grabbed this cache and its neighbour.
Thanks.
Thanks.
It took a little time for our GPS to settle but when it finally did, the hint made sense and a little scouting around resulted in the puzzle being in hand. The cache and contents are in good condition. TFTC Budgietas.
GeoChild was looking for this one but found a leech on his leg instead. While I removed it, found he was actually standing on the cache's resting place! Thanks!
