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.

Thanks subi-two for the cache. It’s #1191 for us. We found your cache on 15 February 2020. Enjoying the loop.
Up at Shoal Bay for a weekend getaway. Decided to do the complete series over 2 days. Found with GeoJess after seeing the sunrise at Box Beach. Great start to the day. 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.
This looks like a great track !

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 
Quickly found
Besten Dank!
Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

It's been 3 years since I was last in this spot Then, there was no cache to be found as it had become victim to some clearing work on the firetrail by NPWS. No problems, however, making the find today ... the hint helped though as I initially thought the cache would be on the bush line not where my GPS said to look. It was right!!
Thanks for the cache subi-two.

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....
I think the stump might be gone?

An easy find but the stump is now gone, so you now need to look under what may have been a stump once... TFTC.
Today the kids wanted a bushwalk so we set out to do the 12 to 24 part of the NTSBPT series. A lovely walk with a side trip down to Wreck beach for a picnic lunch. Thanks for placing these cahces, we'll be back for the rest another day
I’m really enjoying this trail. Straightforward finds with accurate coords and simple hints. Makes this a pleasant walk all round. 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. This was sort of a good thing as i had targeted this section of the walk for us to go on. i decided to come and do this section whilst the little one had is afternoon nap. i was surprised to find it a lot hillier than i thought it would be and was grateful we didn't do it in the morning as it meant i didn't have to carry him on my back. Made a quick find and noted down the numbers. TFTC
Our fifteen hundredth. A pretty ordinary stump but now we don't need to head up the hill. 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.
A few different types of spring flowers on this back half of the ride. A nice variety

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.

Back in the area to find the rest of this series that I didn't have time for last year!
I am so glad I came back to finish this series, made my day!

As we planned our trip to Newcastle, a lot of this nice round in Nelson Bay. Today we went on a very hot day with our bicycles and could find containers for containers. Unfortunately we had DNF's at No. 4 and No. 25 to No. 28, so we could not determine the bonus. 
Too bad, would be nice if the round was complete again.
It was hot and with the bicycles the route was not easy, but the environment was nice and varied. Great views of the sea and the birdsong accompanied us constantly. [^]
**For numbers 1 and 35 give it a favorites point.**
> Thank you very much for the containers of the Moorhelmi's from Germany.
