Logs
Had a bit of a maintenance run on most of this series, and its important to note that at the moment, some of this stretch of land has been fenced off while they complete some great looking paths etc in some sections along this PT. This means that at the moment, it will be necessary to go around on the road to get through from one cache to another in a few locations until all the work is completed, which by my reckoning may be about another month or two. All caches are still accessible.
Needed a break from studying so decided to go on a walk. I also found the green tag like the last people who logged and was also unable to see the reverse side. Although I was wondering if maybe it was an optical illusion as I could see both a letter and number depending on how it was facing the light. Maybe Im just over thinking it though
I believe there is a token in there but its rusted shut might need maintenance if its needed for the mystery cache
A nice quick find @ GZSigning duties complete & along the trail we go ! TFTC
What can I say Too hot, too hilly. And theres nearby calling me Planned to walk this trail but, yeah, I bailed.Sneaky hide TFTC SW
I looked at this pipeline trail when it was first published but I couldn't get any of the family geocachers interested to accompany me. I noticed that it was about 7k return and that it was up hill and down dale; not good for these old legs. I decided it maybe easier for me if I parked in a cross street near to one or two of the caches to reduce the walking. Uh, by the end of the trail my watch indicated I'd walked a tick over 7k. I may have cut out one or two of the hills. During the walk I heard the noise of the highway, houses being built and occasionally Bell Birds. I saw four trains, three freight (going slow) and one passenger (very fast).Starting at #1 I made my way through to #9 and then worked back from #12 for the last three. With the excellent coords and helpful hints all the unique home made caches were easily found in about three hours. TFTC Sweetmanda
Well built cache, which was a straightforward find at GZ.No problems here, thanks!
Back in the Sydney area again I got TeamBoombah to bring me to this power trail. Brought back memories of school!! But oh. How the area has changed over the years.That gas pipe was pretty well hidden!Tfth dictaham and clan

We survived the bog at the last cache to make it directly to this cache, which Geoboyfriend spotted. I’m blaming my “concussion” after he (accidentally) hit me in the head with his cricket ball leaving the last find!
TFTC,
Out with others while they find caches in LGA's they don't have.
With so many DNF's today all 13 finds across 4 LGA's were special.
Added a favourite for the caches in this series we completed.

Third day of the new year and we have signed the log for this cache. Thanks for arranging and giving us the opportunity to explore.
Out showing Liz & Bruce a tour of the area, with Wazza9, quick find, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO
After seeing the aftermath of weed removal at A GAS #'s 1 and 2, I had to skip #3 as there were two workers right next to it. They called out and politely advised me that over the next hill was the drum mulcher responsible for most of the work. Wouldn't you know it, when I reached it the machine was not far from #4! The operator was kind enough to power down until I was well past him. So here I am at #5...
It only took a few moments to spot this container, another interesting and innovative take on a basic cache from a CO who must have quite the pile of odds and ends in the workshop. The usual duties and on I go.

Thanks for a great series and a great excise to get out for a walk in the sunshine. TFTC
Took me about an hour to find how to get at these Cashes. Finally got there. Lucky for me the grass had been cut not long ago. Then down into the valley and up the other side of the mountain ( Puff- Puff). After a bit of searching, had loot in hand. Storm coming. Down into the valley again and up the other side of the mountain (Puff-Puff-Puff etc etc) Reached the mountain summit even I "took a pull" .Then back to the air condition of the Geo Mobile. Beat the storm by a good five minutes. PHEW Good fun this TFTC
I trudged along to this one, it's getting hot and the boots aren't very comfortable.
However a White-bellied Sea-eagle was soaring overhead and that was fantastic to watch. It's 36km to the coast from here but I guess that isn't far when you're floating on themals - wish I could float up and down these hills. Still there's some good views along the way.
Good to see a new park here.
Does anyone play in it? Not a muggle in sight today.
The cache was a quick find. But......
OK on to the next one.

Nice cache and really enjoying this trail. The hills are quite harsh though. Onwards and upwards! TFTC
Fifth cache of the day, mrwhiskers76 made the find. This one was quicker than the others. The view of the next few hills is ick!
Out on a maintenance run, and just to advise that if you are attempting the series with the view of doing the puzzle cache, there are some game pieces missing. Apart from that, this cache is travelling ok!
Nice change up of container. Small issue with the puzzle token in this cache but still readable in at the right angle.
Last find I managed before my phone died. Let’s just say I was happy my phone died otherwise I think I would have. I still had to walk back to my car.
This took a while. I was looking in the right spot but it was hidden too well until I got on my knees. Again another great different type of cache

Nothing beats a day off work to go caching and under perfect skies I had an enjoyable collecting finds as I approach my milestone find.
I had my day mapped out, but when a trail of wherigos in the Southern Highlands became available I cut my day in Campbelltown short to bag the new wherigos.
Enjoyed my walk up and down the pipeline today, parked at various spots so I could make quick work of the finds. Not sure I found all the clues and some of the lids were really stuck on, but a great series.
Thanks for the cache.

Covid safe holiday fun with Pitman clan. Took longer to open than to find cause someone put on crooked. TFTC
First time out in what feels like forever! Along with LT Work , 10 of us headed out, underestimating the humidity level but hey exercise and sweat is good for us hey?
2nd find of the day and MR Pitman Clan was pleased with himself to find this. We all had a go at unscrewing this as it had been screwed on crocked from a previous finder. Finally with a few taps it loosened. TFTc

Out on a Saturday walk with the geofam to try and do some of the A GAS caches. Found with Gundrills KnightJR & Panda_Girl65. TFTC
Thought we would tackle some of this trail as a geofam. Then the kids saw the hilly terrain and long grass and thought otherwise. Decided to drive and grab some easy ones from the road. Never knew this estate was here. Enjoyed the look around. A nice park close by to visit. TFTC.
Fell behind on my logs and only just getting a chance to log these later, sorry for any generic logs!
Popping out for my daily streak this morning, a nice easy walk up to the top then to GZ. This one didn't take me long, geoinstincts on point despite the early hour lol thanks for the cache!

Just catching up on my logs from the past month. Loved this power trail! Lots of great army men swag in each of them too. TFTC!
Having found this one a couple of weeks back, GGCoconut and I stood back and gave the occasional hint to Adonis... he got there in the end!
A Quick pre christmas cacje tour to fill in some blancs. Made a trip via Appin to Campbelltown and Ingle burn and back. Picked up a few adventure labs and a series next to the highway.
