17/08/2018 Update: The period table series will now be maintained by a series of cachers. Lachlan1.77 will take over maintenance for PT12 to PT19. Thanks to BlaKids for their work in maintaining the series.
Welcome to the periodic table of the elements powered trail. There will be 113 caches to each represent each element on the periodic table (until new elements are added). For simplicity sake only elements approved by the “International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry” will be included in this series.
The cache containers are small tubes as shown in the picture below
These containers have only a logbook inside them and no pen/pencil. Please make sure to bring a pen.
Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas which combines directly with nearly all elements. Chlorine is a respiratory irritant. The gas irritates the mucous membranes and the liquid burns the skin. As little as 3.5 ppm can be detected as an odour, and 1000 ppm is likely to be fatal after a few deep breaths. It was used as a war gas in 1915. It is not found in a free state in nature, but is found commonly as NaCl (solid or seawater).Source: Webelements.
This power trail starts at Mount Henry Bridge and continues south down the freeway cyclepath. This power trail is designed for bicycles or walkers and will be extremely hard, if not impossible for drivers. There is however a car park and a playground near the start.
Please stay safe and enjoy the power trail.
