By jessbarnard on 02-Mar-20. Waypoint GC8M6NM

Caches have all been replaced and trail is ready to go.

Waiting for the last pieces to arrive so I can get the new cache containers put together. Im planning to get this trail up and going again by 15th November 2024.

Down for maintenance

I went the wrong wat the first time

Located at 1:37pm. #1510.Full log to follow.??????? ???????! Baruch Hashem! TFTC! Much obliged for the placement JessBarnard!Kindest Regards, - Alephroom.

Found it!

Found it after dodging a black snake. Tftc

Found it - log to follow

Well, I was one of the more challenging hides in the series so far. As the last two cash or mention, the lid is not that form fitting you might say. And also when youre in the area behind the lookout for a little slick little snake that was coming by to say hi, as well as why I was just a diving into the thorns! Thanks for the fun!

#5. Found the lid but might still need replacing... Tftc

Hidden well a bit damp!

Needs new lid

Venturing along the Landsdowne power trail with Storm_cacher, we raced against time to find as many geocaches as we could before the looming storm struck. Despite only getting 15 caches, it remained an incredibly enjoyable day.

#13330A nice afternoon stroll through this surprisingly nice park Cache was an easy find TFTC jess_harley

In the area between other commitments so time to try and finish off this series. Picked a different starting point to try and minimise the loop. Made good progress despite the heat. All logs signed and generally no real issues with the finds. TFTC

One of many finds after finishing a job somewhere else. With TBs Canadian Flag, Swiss Duck, Pittiplatsch and Corona Express Cruise Ship in tow.

Found it

Found it with geocachers on a lovely day. TFTH

Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Great walk this morning around this peaceful area.

OCW GZed. A challenging power trail is a good power trail. Camo has come off. If there was a number on the lid, it’s smudged due to moisture. TFTC!

TFTC!

Another done heading back now to pick others before I move the car

Found

Nice location, TFTC

Sometimes a little camo makes a cache easier to find! Quick work. Byop. Tftc.

Thanks Geospark for putting the cache back and popping in a new log! Still lookin' crisp when I found it.

Found container on ground and empty. I placed some paper in a plastic bag to sign and put it in the cache and attached container where it was supposed to be. TFTC BTW 3rd find of the day.

I found the cache hanging around bvut it was empty as a previous log related.

Found it but no paper or pen or anything inside. Tftc

I found it but it no log book to sign

Coordinates changed from:

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 50.9 feet or 15.5 meters.

The area has been designated by all the water. I couldn’t find the cache in its original location. I’ve replaced it at the new coords and it’s now secured at the location.

Spent 20 min looking

Walked over from #9, spent the most amount of time here, this was a tough find

Had a cursory look for this cache in the less densely grassed spots, but wasn't able to turn anything up. We'd met a local walking the trail by the water a short way back, who informed us they had seen a number of large black snakes on or near the paths in the last few days ....from this point forward in our day we were much more cautious of walking in grass / taller plants where the ground couldn't clearly be seen - so a number of caches further along the trail were abandoned as a result. We plan to come back in winter to complete the power trail when the snakes are less active!!

Hahaha I went way deeper that I had to for this one. But a satisfying find in the end tftc

Searched all the grass, couldn't find it, we'll have to come back

Great start to my day, walking around Boggabilla reserve and caching of course!
Gz placed this on the wrong side of the path. Tftc

Hard find. We were looking on the wrong Side of the path.

This one took the longest by far. Even though I could reach it from the track, I looked in so many different spots because the grass is so long and overgrown. TFTC

Quick check on a few in this series. This one is still there, good condition and waiting to be found.

Hunted around for 10 mins and gps showed we were bang on but no sign for us.

jess_harley I found your cache Landsdowne power trail #8 on 10/4/21, 11:05 am. This is my find 3094 and find # 8 today. Made this harder than it should of been. Once I reassessed, it was a quick find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Very prickly find. TFTF!

Found it after saving two eels, careful of muggles. We were almost caught a few times.

TFTC! Day for it.

Couldn't find it

Nevermind! We found it!

Looked everywhere. Can't find it

One of two DNF’s today.
Must have washed away in the recent rain.

This one was a little harder than previous ones for us, tftc.

Tried for a while, will give it a go another day

Quick find

Changed the container to stop the leaks. Also changed the position slightly, coords are the same.

Continuing my struggle in the heat I made up for missing this the first time. Grabbed easily this time. Thanks

I managed to fit in a days caching before the wet weather had us house-bound or doing other less exciting activities. With my pushbike as the preferred mode of travel I targeted a few caches on the bike.

This series of caches was to be my focus for the day, after parking near No: 1 it took me a couple of hours pedalling around this great pocket of bush to nab the series. Well done on a great series of caches.

Thanks to CO's for your caches that I found throughout the day.

This will be a copy and paste log!

Awesome day out finding all these caches with some friends!! All were straight forward! Didn't have fun dealing with all the spider webs but great getting a large number of caches! Thank you for placing these on a wonderful trail!!

This will be a copy and paste log!

Awesome day out finding all these caches with some friends!! All were very straight forward! Didn’t enjoy the spiderwebs very much, made my darling friend go into the bushes to get them TFTC!!

Out for a couple of hours to find some of the geocaches on this trail. This is the 8th of 11 found today with gotheallblacks, reels and burgercraft. Stopped just before the rain.
Thank you for showing us this part of Sydney and for the trail.
I also really enjoyed the size of these caches.

Within easy reach, but fairly well concealed. TFTC!

Ms Atalanta is my recent companion while geocaching as she sometimes wags work to come with me. That's OK as she has her own business and answers the phone as and when required while caching. Today was a nice spring day following a day of drizzle, and we found ourselves on the Lansdowne power trail. Actually at one time I lived at Upper Lansdowne, some 300km from here. A nice but easy series of caches. Thanks for placing them.

This log is a bit damp but still serviceable. Might be worth remembering.

Tftc

I replaced the plastic bag for the log. The log was a bit wet.

Was a little baffling... on map it shows GC on wrong side of path. Miss gremlinkid #1 tried to get it but bramble was too much for her. TFTC! Log paper was a little damp.

Out for a geocaching explore with Kate_h. Aim is to collect the series. 7 down!

Found with breezethough

Freezing morning, ominous looking clouds, wind... who said it's not a good geocaching day.. not us! Set out today with 2 geonieces to tackle half of this trail. Great trail for kids. Good clues, visable geotrails, caches all easily found, nice walking tracks, varied hiding methods. The kids also enjoyed the suspense of whether they would find a number inside each cache. Overall a good morning out. Will be back to finish this trail off another day. Thanks for placing these caches!

On a cache run with phlphotos today and decided to collect some more multi-caches that we need for a challenge cache. Whilst down here we made a decision to collect some of the LPT. Another quick find on the trail. With the cache in hand, we signed the log before replacing it as found. Both the log and cache container are in good condition. Thanks for cache jessbarnard.

The following TBs came through for the mileage : Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, teamMerlin's Football, Daltus-Dachzeltbus39

Down this way to get some multis with teamMerlin after getting Bird sphere crossed over the road and came after a few of the Landsdowne power trail while here. Ended up with 6 of the trail caches started with this one.

Another one that we spotted as we approached pulled out the log and the zip lock bag was wet but the log was dry

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache jessbarnard

The following TBs visited for the distance - Hawkesbury Tiger, 2011- 2019 NSW geocoins, Area 51 Tag, Cache In Trash Out Geocoin, Cache In Trash Out Tag, CITO Micro Geocoin, dirty Black Juke, Four Elements Geocoin, Mary Hyde's compass, Optical Illusion Geocoin, Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin, Trackable Building Brick, Wales Flag, Wheel of Caching Geocoin

Scored a teensy little tip from ziggiau, looks like it could be muggled easily! We were commenting that all the hides have been great, cache containers in great condition!

Easily found by the nice lake. Thanx

Cache nr 3 on this damp Saturday. TFTC

Catching up on logging all my finds since i joined in July. Very prickly, tftc!

Ouch! A little damp inside. Tftc!

Nice one.
TFTC

We got prickled! By the wrong prickles! We were searching on the wrong side of the path initially.

Found with skyebomonkeytown!

TFTC. Ouch, got prickled but log a little damp.

I joined a trip to Maitland with Aquilus1, dty73, Tankengine, Barb2e, Kitty Katch & Joolay. The weekends main game was to do the dogs head series, but along the way we did some old caches around Sydney and did as many Maitland caches as time allowed. The return journey was via some old caches and some challenges that may or may not be met one day.

Day 1 was the big drive north, broken by a few stops in Sydney including Australia's Oldest cache at Lane Cove.

Thanks for the cache jessbarnard

Found with and signed the Capital Crunchers who are: dty73, Tankengine, joolay, kittycatch, Albida33, Barb2e. A four day caching trip up around Maitland collecting a number of caches of interest to suit everyone along for the fun. A lovely area, very scenic, green and lots of historic locations. Also some great caching to be done while in the area as well as on our way there and home.

Came in for an old cache, collected a few along the way. Quite a nice walk along and a good chance to stretch the legs.
