3 caches of the track not available

Not so many signatures on this one.

Awesome easy find thanks for the adventure

Thanks. Easy to find. Nice walk.

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.

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

Visited trackables and added a favourite

Wet log can't sign

Log too wet to sign.

Cache wet and filled with mould.

A lovely weekend away in Shoal Bay

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

This one had a soggy log

Tftc

No tree and cache pretty exposed and wet.

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
No little tree found beside the cache. It was also not covered. I covered with some timber.
Besten Dank!

Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

Tree was removed, to find it, look right next to the path

Tree no longer here! But he cache is!
Left some swag.
TFTC

Didn't think we would find this one either with all of the mulching and not really a place to hide available.

Read previous logs and kept looking before finding in a fairly exposed spot.

Thanks for the cache!

Enjoyed the walk along the trail with my muggle friend. Thanks subi-two

The area along the side of the firetrail has been cut back about 4m, leaving all small trees as mulch. We finally found the cache without having to leave the firetrail, by using the second half of the hint. TFTC

Found it today with my friend, TeamIndiJ02. Very nice walk, we found 25 caches!

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....
Right on the edge under some grass - it appears the host tree has been chipped.....

The cache's hide has been destroyed....

The tree has been cleared but cache was found in a tussock of grass. Log is wet. Maintenance needed. TFTC.

Very out in the open

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

19 out of 25 found today. Tfth.

Down hill and another straightforward find. Really like this area. 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
TFTC

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.

I like this spot

Found #25 on my first trip here so thought I'd try for a couple more from the series today. Left my friends sunbathing on the beach and said I'd be 5 minutes... over an hour and 6 caches later I returned, very pleased of a dip in the cool blue waters after hiking up what seemed like a mountain in the heat. It's minus 2 degrees at home though so I can't complain. To be fair the only reason I didn't do more is my irrational fear of spiders, whom I met at most of the caches I did today. After removing the covering of the cache, the cache started to move. At this point I decided I couldn't take the stress anymore so made this my last find. Had to remove a web and a small spider to be able to reach the cache, then used a long stick to fish it out in order to avoid whatever it was sharing its hole with. SL TFTC. Thanks too for the series, hopefully will be back again sometime to do more

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.

Found it.

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

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 got seduced by the downhill slope after the last one and coasted off only to realise we were heading the wrong way. So we turned around and headed back up to find an even steeper hill which we again walked up!
What are the red flowers on top of the tall stems? Are they native?
TFTC

Yay we have left little surprises for next people as they have been empty

On a family holiday and we came for a walk out to wreck beach and I found this cache along the way. Sl thanks for the cache.

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.

TFTC

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!

So I just past a guy out running with his Jack Russell, exchanged greeting and carried with our own business. An easy find here, TFTC.

Tis but a 2

Neat

Tftc! It took me a lot longer than it needed to, grr!

No problems

Found it, nice breeze TFTC

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.

Done this trail six or so months ago when I was newer to geocaching only to realise I haven't logged all my finds. Great trail highly recommend the walk. Did this with family who are also geocachers. Would love to see another trail or something extended for a good excuse to come back and visit nelsons Bay again. We did live in Maitland but relocated to cold and windy Goulburn near Canberra for work. Keep up the good work
