Geocache Description:

The Northern Expressway (Nexy) Powertrail.This series of caches has been placed to highlight the Stuart O'Grady bikeway which parallels the Nexy.

It is intended for you to complete the whole lot in one hit. Please don't "Swap" the containers like the Americans do. You don't have to do them altogether, but it will be a good ride if you do.

** DO NOT ATTEMPT THESE CACHES BY STOPPING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS ILLEGAL AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN LARGE FINES FROM THE BOYS IN BLUE.**

Use the bike trail, or the many vehicle access roads around the area to access the cache. This one is best accessed from Argent Road.

William Friend Penfold (1806–1884) was one of the first to take up land in this area when he acquired Section 4057, Hundred of Munno Para, in December 1850. Penfold opened the Plough and Harrow Hotel on his property in 1853. Later on 1 February 1856, he subdivided the north-west portion of his section into a town he called Penfield. Zoar Chapel was opened nearby in March 1855.

Further details about the Zoar Chapel can be found on the nearby multi-cache, which I suggest you stop and do.
