On our short walk straight through the beautiful forest from Shoal to Fingal Bay we searched, found and logged this cache.

Thanks subi-two for the cache. It’s #1195 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 a longer than normal search. GPS had us off a bit.
Cache container has been replaced but original lid is still there
TFTC!

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.
A different container here to shake it up a bit

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
Long time searched and finally found 10m off... nearer to walkway.
Besten Dank!
Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

A little warm this afternoon but decided to trek up the hill. Mr9 was first to locate it. TFTC.
Did not hold out much hope for this one with all of the shredding along the path, but after reading some previous logs, had an idea, and there really could be only one place anyways.
Still an easy find.
Thanks for the cache!

We found the shredded remains of the cache in a nice hidey hole. We placed the logsheet into another similar sized container, with the all important green lid next to it. 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....
We found the corpse of the cache, the log was actually a little dry, despite having no container, just shreds.

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
Loving this walk. Easy stroll from the last cache. Nice view of the cove here. 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 one had me going in all kinds of directions I assume due to the tree, but nonetheless I found it.

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. The spider at this cache was very pretty (looked like a bumble bee) but was careful not to touch it in case it killed me... was a bit of a Krypton Factor challenge to retrieve and replace the cache around it though. Eventually managed it, SL TFTC

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
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.
As we rounded the bend closer to this one we caught our first prolonged glimpse of the sea. What a beautiful bay and a different aspect to our walk along the beach yesterday.

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.

Missed out on this one last time, so great to lay hands on it this time! Filling in the gaps on a lovely walk. TFTC
Back in the area to find the rest of this series that I didn't have time for last year!
Last night when I was researching finishing this series I had a thought about jogging around this section. You don't get a sense of the terrain with Google Maps. TFTC.
