This NTSBPT trail was close to our camping, thus a good walk to see the area. The caches do need some CO attention here and there.

TFTC,

In the Bay for 3 nights with Nana nel and undertook what is left of this trail today. We had 3 DNF's and there are a lot already archived.

Not enough information available to complete the final so after collecting all we could, we contacted Team MavEtJu who gathered all the information 10.07.2016 to form a partnership so that we could all log the final. Due to the tides, he couldn't reach GZ then and so it was agreed that we would add his name when we were there.

I will use another caching site to create a way for others to reach a conclusion, fave fun finding my trail to the end.

Enjoyed a great walk and visited the final on 07.11.2019

A lovely weekend away in Shoal Bay

There’s no better way to explore than stretching the legs to go caching.

So peaceful here, it feels like we have the NP to ourselves

Away for work And had a big week of travel starting in Melbourne, up to Townsville, back to Brisbane and Newcastle today and a flight back to Mel this evening. With all the racing around and eating crap food I felt like Mr Blobby!
Anyway my visits for the day were done and I had a couple of hours to kill, looked on that map and saw the series at Nelson Bay. I have fond memories of this place from 15 years ago when I arrived as a backpacker. Arrived at my starting point, checked the map and gave my self a max of 90min before racing back to the airport. Off I ran and the series was perfect, guessing I did around about 7km and maybe 20 somethink finds. Still need to have a count. A number of dnf’s too but with a time restriction there was. No time to play about.
The perfect series for a run and I’m feeling better now. Thanks for the fun!

While holidays visiting Nelson Bay. Saw this trail and will start it. Don‘t know how fare I will get... we will see Smile

I missed number 5 - or is this Cache gone?
Number 6 easy found. It was not covered so I picked up some timber to cover.

Besten Dank!

Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

A straightforward find here but the hint is a bit misleading, not that it matters. There may have been a string of stumps here once but I'd say the widening of the fire trail changed that. TFTC subi-two.

Find #2257-2281
It's unclear why we haven't done this trail up until now... But this year, with school holiday on, and hiddeb creatures to find, a 35 cache power trail became very appealing. We did the trail with a new cacher TeamIndiJ02, we logged all finds as 737/Indi. We had a great walk through the national park today, managing 24 on the PT itself. The trail needs maintenance, the list of missing caches is lengthening, and the logs are pretty scrappy these days. Thanks for your efforts in setting it up....
Handy hint for this one....

Today I took on this trail on my mountain bike,I had a great time exploring around the area,The unexpected hills hurt at times but the ride back down them was alot of fun.
The day was a success with only a few DNFs towards the tail end.
Thanks for putting this great series together

This has got to be one of the nicest areas to go geocaching in. We have friends living nearby so we were very happy to see this trail with a great selection of caches. It was not too hot so we trecked the ups and downs and even saw 2 dolphins frolicking in the shallows as we continued with our cache hunt. There were a couple in the series that we think are missing. Thanks to subi-two for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Big GrinBig Grin

We are off on our bikes to work on the trail today after two very windy days. Today it is a bit lighter so we decided to give it a go. So far so good.
We are doing well on the gravel road progressing from cache to cache. After the DNF at the last one we are back on track with a nice find here.

I came up from Sydney last night and stayed with a good friend in Elermore Vale so I could get a early start up to shoal bay for a day of caching on the power trail.
So here I go. Let's see what I can find today. All caches that I found were in a good condition there were lots of logs in many of them and finding where to sign in order was not always easy.
I love the day of day it did take hours and lots of walking. Tonight will be a early night back at Elermore Vale with my dear friend and some reds. Thanks for the effort you went to to place all these caches and to maintain them.
