Geocache Description:


Welcome to the short A GAS Power Trail. This series of 12 Simple caches has information that you can collect to find the Puzzle cache located in the same area. 4 of the 12 caches will have a tag with a number and a letter on it. You need to collect all 8 pieces of information noting the cache number it came from in order to find and access the puzzle cache. Make sure you thoroughly check each container for the light green tag , you just don’t know where it will turn up! Please ensure you return the tag into the cache.

In order to avoid annoying the residence in the narrow street near #1, please park on University Drive.  The whole trail is about 7k return, so you could walk it, or ride it, or buddy up and park a car at each end.

Have fun!

 

The Eastern Gas Pipeline is a 797 km natural gas pipeline. It is a key supply artery between the Gippsland Basin in Victoria and New South Wales. The pipeline was commissioned in 2000 and was owned at that time by Duke Energy, and the stimated cost at the time was $450 million. The EGP is currently operated by Jemena, and has multiple branches supplying places such as Canberra and Port Kembla, as well as many other smaller connections.

I can recall the pipeline arriving in Campbelltown while I was attending St Gregs in 1978, and being amazed at how they would deliver these very large steel pipes which were amazingly bent to follow the ups and downs that it traversed. I really had no idea that the line passed through Macarthur Heights, and I thought about how many people that now live in this area even know why this stretch of land is here. So I thought, this is one way to bring it out into the open.

So enjoy the ups and downs of this short power trail, and remember to collect all the information to locate the puzzle.
