No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

Still had a decent look even though others had recently DNFed, but we also came up empty handed.

Had a quick look on the island between the roads, no luck.

Need to have a look

looked for a while but couldn't find it

There are a few items like mentioned in the hint - but I couldn't find it under any. Might need a CO check.

Looked where clue said. DNF.

[Blue]# 13033[/Blue] Found on the way back from our 2015 Winter escape to Qld.
Another perfect spring day for a bike ride along the Windsor trail.
Apologies for the standard log, which does not detract from the good hides.
A great trail and I will have to return to do the ones I didn't make it to today.
Cheers from down south in Wagga Wagga.
Thanks for the cache and the series Morley196,

A through search of the area with no result.

Hmm, I found this one back in 2013 on an old account. I didn't find it today so I'm hoping I just didn't look properly.

TFTC!

This Windsor History Series is my first medium-sized power trail.
Daunted by 14km, Daunted by 65 caches in a day, Daunted by time restraints.
Couldn't take a bike, so we settled for scooters.
All previous results vary - 5, 6, 7, 10 hour trips.
Just psyching myself out.

Parked at Rouse Hill Town Centre and took the bus to Windsor (No rush for the 'last bus back')
Started out Subway 8:20am - (1 hour lunch break) - Finished the Final 2:30.
6 HOURS WITH A 1 HOUR BREAK
Thanks for the series Morley196 - Heaps of work put into this trail, and it's great for number-cachers like me.

2:00 - Quick find for SC.
Moving onward

With my 30th birthday approaching in less than two weeks and having just passed 800 finds the competitive side of my brain decided it would be a great challenge to attempt to get to 1000 finds on my birthday. This would also mean that I would attain 1000 finds in 19 months of geocaching. I sat on the idea for a couple of days, I wasn't sure whether it was achievable and whether or not I would have the time to travel to areas which had decent trails. Last night my competitive side got the better of me and I decided that the challenge was on!!

I'd been eyeing off the Windsor to Rouse Hill Power Trail since I first started caching but had never made the time to travel down from the Central Coast to attempt it. I went under the house to find the ancient Malvern Star bike my old man used to have when he was at uni roughly 40 years ago. I did some work cleaning it up in the dark and cold of night and greased the chain so it would be ready for the trip.

I left the Coast at 7:30am this morning and started driving down to Windsor. I grabbed a few caches along the way including one close to home I hadn't found yet and others around Dural. I pulled up at Windsor and was soon on my way.

I was unable to attempt the first cache at the time as there was a function on and tradies working right next to the cache! This would turn into a theme for the day as apparently it was the day council had decided to mow all the nature strips! Thankfully I was able to make most finds with good timing and only had to come back afterwards for a couple. It definitely was a different experience caching in such an open area with soo many muggles about. I found a cache 15m away from a Muslim man who was praying in the direction of Mecca and the cache itself!! I had truck drivers giving me weird looks because I was stopping at electrical poles and other bike riders wondering why I kept on stopping. I also had about 4 people beep me when I was searching, I'm guessing they were geocachers and knew exactly what I was up to!

I managed to go from start to finish of the power trail in 3 hours and 45 minutes with 2 DNF's (one which hasn't been found for a long time and another which I'm sure is gone due to the recent lawn mowing). I had one more DNF which I couldn't search for properly as there were people right on GZ both times I went past.

I managed to sign most logs using WTF instead of my whole name. Some logs weren't signed because they were wet and about 4 others because they were covered in ants! Thanks to everybody who has helped maintain all the caches I've found today!!

TFTC Cheers

18/5/15. 1:20 PM. Cache #2507. Streak day #330.
I packed the bike to do the final leg of the Windsor Road Power Trail. Parked at Rouse Hill Town Centre shops opposite the crematorium, and road north, up to where I had last paused the series, about a month ago. I found 9 caches in a row, from "Vinegar Hill" (WRPT-54) up to and including "Windsor Road History Series Final" (WRPT-62). TFTC.

Good one!
Thanks Morley196 for the hunting and cache.

My first find in this area, TFTC

Quickie on way to shops to get Easter provisions! Tftc

found on way to work just after midnight

In the area. Nice hide. Tftc

Quick find on NY Day

Caching with AlphaDeltaIndigo no more, she's tired. Cache no 58 in the series. Another quick walk and grab. TFTC

Saw that geobuddies Snickersallan and Bluewattle had found this one earlier. Great going guys. On a mission to complete this power trail. Scooted down the trail on my trusty push scooter and found cache - log book is dry. SL TNLN TFTH TFTC. Replaced cache as found.

On a smashex today, found with Snickersallan

Geo friend Bluewattle and myself thought we'd make a start on this great series after work today thanks to daylight savings. This is such a beautiful part of Sydney, with lush green paddocks and great cycle paths. Thanks for bringing us out this way & TFTC.

8971 + 1010 = 9981. Found during a work trip to the Penrith region.

Working at Penrith during the week I aimed to complete this Power Trail today on foot. Had a couple of DNFs but all in all had a great - hot !! - days caching along the trail until I got to the final mystery - then caught a taxi back to my car ! This was another nice quick find - then off to the next one...

Thanks again Morley196 !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

An odd little spot. High traffic but well hidden

On the 26th of October, Patches108, 88jaz88 and I made the commute to Sydney's north-west to complete the imfamous powertrail. We arose at 5am and ventured forth on the train, arriving in Schofields. Armed with a scooter, skateboard and ripstik, we struggled our way through the series, collecting 68 caches for the day. We had a stack each and a really hot chilli pie in the middle of our 20km day, grabbing a total of 68 caches! Thanks for the range of caches, adventure and cool spots. We may have signed as "CC" or "CCC" during our day. Our route can be viewed here: http://www.strava.com/activities/200466265

Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this series of caches. It's a walking history tour of local area. Completed one section today and will finish others at later date. TFTC

88jaz88, Cccritter and I set of at 5-30 on a massive trip into Western Sydney, planning to grab a large amount of caches. Onto the train at 5-43, off a train, on another, then off again. After 3 and a half chorus of travel, we jumped off at Schofields Station to grab the first cache. We then made our way through Schofields to Windsor Road, grabbing a few caches, then started the massive power trail. Apart a few crashes on our scooter/skateboard/RipStik, we made it through to Windsor after a couple of rests and food breaks. We then grabbed some caches through Windsor before getting to the train station, where we did it all over again, getting back home 4 hours later, tired, exhausted, but elated after a fun day filled with a lot of awesome caches.

Thanks for the cache

Church!?

Unusual place to put a cache. Tftc SL

Picking up the ones I couldn't get last time.
TFTC.

Like caches before another easy find. slowly getting to the end of this PT. tftc

I set off this morning to bike my way along the Windsor to Rouse Hill Power trail (in reverse), picking up a few stray caches along the way.
I really appreciate the effort that's gone into the history along the trail. Progress was fairly slow as I took the time to read the history at each site.
Sorry for the cut and paste. I'll add notes for any that weren't straightforward finds.

dropped by on my maintenance run, removed second container, no idea where this one came from.

Found with the Geofamily.

Another quick find with Jaybeem! & Lynfkelly TFTC

According to previous log there should be 2 caches?
There was just one cache which I have signed

Interesting! A cache with two containers is something different. Didn't know which log to sign, so signed them both. TFTC.

Thanks For The Cache Morley196, full log to follow.

Took us a little longer but found in the end, tftc

TFTC!

Found with Sensible Shoes.

also wanted to note we found 2 cache containers here (in same hide) - neither labelled with a cache code, so just signed one of them. Wondered if the 2nd container was dropped off here after being found at one of the other nearby now disabled caches?

At last, found one! Have not had much luck today. TFTC

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

A bit difficult 8/8

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

As usual, a quick log here an a more extensive one on the final of the series!
Great work on all the caches!

Attempted the fourth and final section of the WRPT by bike on a cool, damp, overcast Sunday afternoon to find the remaining geocaches in this extensive series. SL TFTC!

Thank you

Out for some wee hours WRPT caching. Started about 1am, finished about 3am. Had a road side visit by the police to make things a little more interesting lol I guess snooping around by the side of the road with a torch at 1am does seem a bit suspect... to some lol


TFTWRPT!

First attempt the WRPT We set out from my home at 8am on a sunny day we got to the power trail at 9am and finished it at 3pm enjoyed the beautiful views along the way. thanks for the caches.
found these cache with Prince Harry 2516

Cache #5 of #13

Came past being in the area intending on doing another section of the WRPT. After parking my geomobile at the Rouse Hill Shopping Village i set my sights on the back end of the WRPT as this is where i ended up after the Event here on the 6th. Making this the start of my days caches on the Trail and a few extras along the way.

After success at #59, #57 and a DNF at #58 i kept going with the goal of knocking off at least to WRPT caches tonight meaning i was to finish at cache#50.

I came here which was next on my list and made a easy find. I must say i am enjoying this trail. The fact that they are pretty simple but the added challange of traffic and the length is really enjoyable. Thanks guys for planting it and keeping it running.

SL at 7.16pm

TNLN TFTC

TFTC and Happy New Year. Found both of them. (More like SV).

9th TFTC

Nice and quick spotted the cache - SL with ozcymru and dolphia. Thanks Morley196. [^] [^]

Still going on this amazing power trail with Dolphia and Everlasting.

Done! TFTC

Started the power trail just after 0600hrs and finished at 1115hrs. TFTC and all your efforts here! [^]

Brought up the deadly treadlies to have a crack at the Windsor to Rouse Hill Power Trail with Bettyboo3747. After a few days of mediocre weather, today was lovely.
We started at 8am and finished by lunchtime, hitting the restaurants of Rouse Hill for much needed refreshments, and then we rode back.(can't remember all those hills on the way there!)
Thanks for all the informative history, and well maintained caches
And doesn't the building behind it blend in so well?
Thanks, Robmc.

# 4696. Rombc and I left Wentworth Falls at 6.30am this morning to arrive in Windsor by 7.30am. After unloading the bikes and getting organised we started with the Prelude and were on the trail by 8.00am. We finished 4 1/2 hours later and headed for some well earned food and drink. We were glad we started early as it got mighty hot very quickly. Was so hoping for a really pretty scenic ride and hoped to see a lot of historic buildings along the way. I was a bit disappointed that it was right next to such a busy and noisy road.

The end result for the trail was 61 and a DNF at the dreaded # 46 which we visited on the way there and again on the return journey.

We had commented on the very old church across the road and the appalling (in our eyes) additions/changes that had been made to this lovely historic building. Didn't realise it was so old though.

We could spot the cache as we walked towards it so obviously that was a bonus for us.

Thanks Morley196

Down from Brisbane for a run along the Windsor Road Power Trail. Managed to track this one down along the way. Tftc

Thought it was time i completed this series.
Tftc

Took a seat to relax and retrieve this cache, watching the world go by at the nearby intersection. SL and returned to its hidey-hole. Thanks Morley.

Came down from Belmont today as our average count needed a boost. Parked the Geoforester under the golden arches near #10 of the WRPT, off loaded the bikes and commenced our hunt.

Parked the bike and sat on the WC while having a much needed drink of water. Groped under the seat and pulled out a prize, a cache that is. Thanks Morley196

Another trip to Windsor so another chance for some WRPT caches.
I look at this church every time I come out here so it was very interesting to read the history and learn about it.
An easy find although a very busy spot so you have to time it right for the grab and the replace.
TFTC

TFTC

Probably one of the harder caches to retrieve on the trail given its location and time of day. Still, geowife made the find pretty quick and was back at the lights waiting to cross with me to continue to the trail. TFTC.

That took way longer than it should have...!!! Again high muggle activity making a fair wait to re-hide.
SL 11:41am

TFTC!!!!

An exposed location to search and I almost didn't find this cache. I searched the likely GZ without success then widened my search area. Still no success. The roads were busy and I knew I'd be attracting attention so was becoming flustered. Resorted to the hint; returned to GZ and managed to locate the cache. Thanks Morley196.

Another find and sign. TFTC!!

The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition #254
Last day of The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition. Went out with a bang by doing the Windsor Road Power Trail. Had a lot of fun, rode a lot of kilometres on the bike and found a lot of caches. Thanks for the power trail

Went out on a nice, sunny bike ride today finding the 61 caches. Found most of the except two. Thanks Morley196 for a great powertrail outlining the history of Windsor and the surrounding countryside.

TFTCs!

Rode the power trail today with my Mum, finding all of the caches as we went along. Thank you.

I was getting tired by the time we got to this one & wanted to go across the road to eat, but Mum said there were only a few left & then we could come back for lunch.

Thanks for making Daddy walk so far and showing me so many places

Thanks for a wonderful walk and a lovely cache.

Thank you for this series. It was a wonderful geoday. We found all the caches. Mostly it was an easy find. It was our firt powertrail and we enjoyed it.

7th cache for tonight, Enjoying this powertrail and the history I'm learning. TFTC

After my find yesterday I was talking to Karennicole who found this one in March. Yesterdays cache was not in the same spot as when she found it a few months ago. I found it (and returned it) to the bottom of the hole but after reading lots of logs I'm pretty sure this is not your intended hiding spot. Could you check on this one?

very cool

Day 24 of August streak and needed a quick one after being muggled out at Zachary Place. I look at this one daily but this is the first time I've got out of the car as it was much quieter traffic today. Geohubby stopped at traffic lights near the Turtle and I jumped out and made the find. So glad I have long arms - is this the correct place? SL and replaced back down the bottom and jumped back in the car just before the lights changed. TFTC Morley and for helping with the streak.

A quick find.The clue was a help.Finding this cache has helped us maintain the 31 days streak. TFTC

4th WRPT today and not under a log for a change. GPS working well for a change and good co-ordinates given.

Found with nicksmyname on the nice ride from Windsor-Rouse Hill

Thought it was on the other side of the road TFTC

Found on a great day's caching on the Windsor Road Powertrail with Katsumar. We had a stunning day and a great bike ride. We clocked up 30 k's over the day and never a grumble from Katsumar on his BMX with no gears. This also helped in the Great Scouts Geocaching Competition!

Pity the church is almost hidden. But FINALLY we found some food. No cafe's or anything, but an open supermarket. Yogurt drinks, a snack and batteries for my phone charger as I was down to 5% on the iPhone. Civilisation. Found the village cache while we were there too. Sweet.

Thanks, Morley196 for giving us a great day.

Day number 3 on the power trail, today I rode my bike, nice biketrack. Tftc

found today on my Sunday morning. Took Ute Dog II on a walk and drive down here and found a few caches.
Thanks Acko

Morry9 and I could not find in the fading light, will have to try again another time
