Hi subi-two,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 45 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 listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Found the concrete slab but it was disappointing as the cache
was missing.
Thanks.
was missing.
Thanks.
subi-two, we didn’t find your cache today. Sorry, but it wasn’t for lack of trying though! Found GZ and the item as described but no cache.
Found this one out in the open on the concrete - replaced as per hint.

Up at Shoal Bay for a weekend getaway. Decided to do the complete series over 2 days. TFTC!
Today i take a walk on this trail . The flies are drives me to fly into a frenzy. Thanks for showing this park. TftC
Spending a few days in the area, took on this walk to find this series, shame that some have been archieved. Quick find, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO
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.

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!

Completed this series with Beary_Unicorns early Sunday morning. Tried to get it all done before the temperature became too hot, but no luck. Visited trackables, tftc.
While holidays visiting Nelson Bay. Saw this trail and will start it. Don‘t know how fare I will get... we will see 
Gut gefunden - jedoch etwas speziell in Australien so im Gebüsch unter Steine, in Löcher etc zu greifen.
Besten Dank!
Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

My GPS was still in my pocket when I found this one. As I walked along the track I spotted something that looked to be a logical hiding spot for a cache ... and indeed, it is! TFTC subi-two.
Found it today with my friend, TeamIndiJ02. Very nice walk, we found 25 caches!

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....

Walking too quickly and thinking about other things, so I over shot this one and had to go back about 40mtrs. Tftc!!!
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

Got up early to tackle this series while staying in Shoal Bay at the end of our holiday fromUK. Good hints and a lovely varied walk. Thanks for settling the series.
In town with Bluewattle for a Re-Union and thought we'd do this power trail during our free time. Nice quick find for us here today.

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. 
Up here for the weekend and I wanted to do as much of this series as possible. the weather put a hold on my planned morning walk with the family to find a couple. The little one was still sleeping so i decided to keep finding as many as i could before he woke up. Made a quick find and noted down the numbers. TFTC
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.
The going go a little trickier to this one as the sand got softer. A few sways from side to side and we were soon through and arrived.
Thank you for another straightforward find.

Walked the trail today, great walk on a beautiful fine winter day. TFTC
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.

Before heading to Sydney we took the opportunity to hike this trail which led us thru the forest and part of Shoal Bay.
It was a pleasant walk with a few ups and downs, didn't meet much folks out there.
Luckily we found all caches except those already logged as DNF by other cachers and the bonus whose coordinates can't be determined as some numbers / caches are missing.
