This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter.

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

Wish I'd read the previous comment before we started searching. Syringe box not a good find! Please fix this ASAP!
Not a pleasant spot. What I thought was the container turned out to be a syringe box. Please fix this cache.

A lovely weekend away in Shoal Bay
There’s no better way to explore than stretching the legs to go caching.
No find here..... syringes and booze cans could mean the local junkie picked it up

Which tree? That tree! A nice easy one to finish off our evening. TFTC
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.
From what I saw of this area, it is a lovely location for a series of caches. However the entire area could use some TLC for the council to clean up the rubbish and some TLC from the CO to remove all the wet soggy old logs from the old looking containers.
6th find of the day. GPS was pointing everywhere, but a quick look from the path and I could see the container
Thanks for the cache subi-two

While holidays visiting Nelson Bay. Saw this trail and will start it. Don‘t know how fare I will get... we will see 
The first found was the last green of the trail.
After 2km from my studio is this my starting point.
After short search found.
Besten Dank!
Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

Finding a few caches in the area following an emergency stop here.
Slowly wondering north after the Parkville Mega. Thank you, subi-two for placing this cache it certainly added to the enjoyment of our trip. 3986. TFTC TNLN.

There was another senior sitting nearby, so we joined him and got out our hiking stove and boiled the billy for morning tea. We heard about how he fished for marlin, had a triple by-pass operation and how he moved to Shoal Bay. Finally, his dog insisted on moving on. Then we found the cache. TFTC
Lunch was our destination but as we were passing by we had to grab the cache. TFTC.
It was a quick easy search in a smart position, had to use the hint though. Thank you to whoever put it there.
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....
Lucky last.
A great day was had by all - despite record numbers of DNFs and NMs. This trail is great, and should be a jewel in the region, but at present is sadly in need of the CO walking the trail once again, replacing caches and logs and restoring this old girl to fly again!

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

An easy find to end off the series, but again no number. There was no way to make sense of the final puzzle with 10 DNFs (suspected missing), 2 archived caches and at least 3 without a number. TFTC & an interesting & enjoyable walk despite the issues with the series.
Spending the weekend in the caravan at Anna Bay. First day out today as I have been sick.
Managed to find this between rain showers. Good clue.

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.

Tftc. Took the opportunity to look for some caches while waiting for a friend. Mrs Jaybeem spotted the hide from the path.
Found. Thanks so much for putting these out. It’s taken me to a few places I haven’t been to. TFTHTNLNSL.
Last one for us. 2 hours and 55 min. Loved the walk. Hope more people will start a awesome trail like this in the future. Thanks to my son BJ for doing this with me.
I almost forgot to log these ones... because the drafts of them are not visible on my mobile phone!
On our way back home from Byron Bay we made an overnight stop in Nelson Bay. I didn't like these to much, because I am very afraid of spider and bugs... Here I went very quickly where I had to go... and with one grab it was mine
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. 
Last one in the NTSBPT trail. Many thanks to subi-two for laying out this trail in some very interesting environments.
Staying in Nelson Bay for a few days on our way north. Afternoon walk to get started on the NTSBPT. Hopefully will have time to find more. 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 wild flowers have started their spring bloom and the bush is starting to look quite colourful.

Our first in the Power Trail - the nearest to our lodgings for our few days in Nelson Bay. Given the number of cachers bound to be out on a sunny day like this it shouldn't be unusual to find others enjoying their hobby but it is always a pleasant surprise to catch others in the act. Nice to meet you SKI pair. TFTC.
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.

Our last find! Great walks and great weather. Thanks for all the hard work. One day will come back and find the mystery as leaving the area to go home
Ms Atalanta and I are on a brief sojourn to Nelson Bay so naturally a walk involving Geocaches is part of the deal. A nice easy one in this case. TFTC.
Found as the second one this morning but completes the circuit. Phew !
Not to far to walk back to rental from here.
Able to nab this one in the dark just after 5 am before going around as I wouldn't be back after the circuit. Thanks heaps !

Anddd the adventure has finally come to an end. Wow. I started at the crack of dawn (not really tehe, 7:30 am) and only just arrived home.
I've been holidaying at Nelsons Bay for years, yet I discovered countless new places today!
Without people like you our community would be nothing. Thanks to your very generous contribution it keeps kicking. Thanks for all the caches.
